Joe Wilson

Joe Wilson, Wagyu cattle breeder in Chester, WY, in Platte County near Cheyenne, raises a small herd dedicated to sound genetics and consistent quality. Wilson follows national breed association guidelines and carries out routine health testing, including examinations for common bovine conditions. Animals graze on native grasses and receive regular daily handling to encourage calm temperaments and proper socialization.

The ranch’s careful rotational pasture system supports soil health while offering varied forage throughout the seasons. Woodland shelter belts adjoin open fields, providing cattle with shade and protection from harsh weather. Attention to balanced nutrition and precise weight monitoring ensures calves develop with strong skeletal structure and desired marbling characteristics. Vets conduct annual herd visits and administer vaccinations on a recommended schedule. Several local chefs have noted the even marbling and delicate flavor achieved through this approach to Wagyu cattle management.
