Kulp Genetics

Kulp Genetics raises Wagyu cattle in Manheim, PA, serving Lancaster County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. The operation is led by David Kulp, who manages a registered herd with routine health testing and detailed pedigree record keeping.

Calves receive colostrum shortly after birth and remain with their mothers during the first months to promote strong maternal bonds. Animals graze on open pasture and benefit from rotational grazing paddocks that support natural foraging. Routine hoof trimming and veterinary checkups are scheduled to maintain herd well-being.

The breeding program prioritizes marbling, balanced growth and a gentle disposition, reflecting principles of low-stress handling drawn from sustainable agriculture. The herd’s diet combines local forage with carefully measured grain supplements to develop the signature Wagyu marbling. Local chefs and home cooks note the consistent meat quality and value the farm’s openness about feeding strategies.
