K&W Cattle Company

K&W Cattle Company raises Wagyu cattle in Almo, KY, within Marshall County and western Kentucky near Paducah. As a family-run operation, they adhere to national Wagyu registry guidelines and perform regular health screenings covering genetic profiling, hoof evaluation and routine vaccinations.

The herd grazes on rotational pastures rich in native grasses and receives daily handling from Bret and Jackie Welch, fostering calm temperaments and easy management. All animals have access to clean water troughs and balanced mineral supplementation, ensuring steady weight gain and overall vitality. The Welches refine their breeding lines through successive cycles, seeking a balance of marbling, maternal traits and environmental adaptation on rolling pastures.

They maintain transparent records of vaccination, weaning and loading protocols to give buyers confidence in animal health and traceability. Visitors by appointment can observe handling practices and pasture conditions that support low-stress cattle care and herd health protocols.
