Kody And Hillary Franke

Kody And Hillary Franke, Wagyu cattle breeders in Bloomington, TX, are located on the Texas Gulf Coast near Corpus Christi. They maintain their herd through rotational grazing on coastal prairie land and follow guidelines of recognized cattle associations with regular health testing and traceability measures.

Their small-scale farm offers a welcoming family-run atmosphere where each calf is raised on open pasture and monitored closely for well-being. They bring decades of regional ranching experience to their program, drawing on traditions passed through generations of Texas cattlemen.

Daily handling from birth helps calves develop calm temperaments and strong bonds with their caretakers. Grass-fed finishing is blended with targeted grain feeding to develop signature marbling, reflecting a balanced approach to welfare and meat quality. Their commitment to sustainable practices, including water conservation and native forage management, supports healthy pastures and vibrant local biodiversity.
