Klein Branch Wagyu

Klein Branch Wagyu raises Wagyu cattle in Midland, TX, serving Midland County and the Permian Basin near Odessa. With more than a decade of experience and recognition by the American Wagyu Association, it follows genetic evaluation and health testing standards for Wagyu breeders, including periodic evaluations for common cattle diseases and regular EPD tracking.

Cattle graze on native grass pastures and have access to clean water shelters, while daily low-stress handling supports calm temperaments and strong herd bonds. Early socialization in barn and pasture settings and attentive feedlot management aim to produce consistent quality without the use of growth hormones or routine antibiotics. Calving season typically runs from February through May, with heifers and bulls managed in small groups to monitor health and growth.

Owner Gary Charles Owen applies family ranching traditions to sustainable land stewardship, rotating pastures to improve soil health and biodiversity. Local chefs and home cooks appreciate the even marbling and rich flavor that result from this attentive approach, often noting the buttery texture and umami depth.
