Jiyu American Wagyu, LLC

Jiyu American Wagyu, LLC breeds Wagyu cattle in Iowa City, IA, and is in Johnson County near Cedar Rapids. Sarah Bailey has guided the operation for several years and maintains active membership in the American Wagyu Association while following its health testing guidelines for genetic soundness. Each animal receives daily pasture access with rotational grazing to promote natural foraging and digestive health under careful monitoring. Calves are introduced to gentle handling from birth so they remain calm and accustomed to routine interactions as they mature.

Their feeding program blends locally grown forage with supplemental grain under veterinary oversight to support consistent marbling and overall well-being. Local farmers and chefs appreciate the steady quality and flavor profile their cattle provide, reflecting a commitment to transparent, farm-based stewardship. The farm’s layout includes shaded loafing areas, fresh water sources, and biosecure facilities to minimize stress and maintain herd health. Regular updates on herd performance are available through direct communication with Sarah, ensuring that prospective buyers understand lineage and care history.
