Jim Howard

Jim Howard raises Wagyu cattle in Salina, KS, in central Kansas near Wichita. He holds active membership in the American Wagyu Association and has more than ten years of hands-on experience in beef cattle breeding. He follows industry-recommended health screening protocols and keeps detailed herd records through national registry programs. His herd is managed on open pastures, where calves stay with their dams in a low-stress environment that encourages steady growth.

Jim’s hands-on approach includes daily interactions in both pasture and barn settings that help develop calm, well-adjusted animals. He places priority on nutritional balance, providing a rotational grazing system that supports both soil health and animal welfare. His commitment to clear traceability means each animal’s lineage and performance data are readily available for prospective buyers. This methodical care reflects a dedication to consistency in marbling and overall beef quality.
