Layawa Cattle

Layawa Cattle is breeding Wagyu cattle in Flintville, Tennessee, in Lincoln County and the Tennessee Valley near Chattanooga.
Truman Pearson has been raising Wagyu cattle for several years and adheres to American Wagyu Association standards with routine health screenings, performance testing and meticulous pedigree records.
It focuses on balanced genetics that support both marbling and maternal traits to maintain a versatile herd.

Herd rotation on managed pastures supports grass-fed nutrition, and calves remain with their mothers to foster natural social bonds before gradual weaning.
The farm features spacious paddocks with shelters that protect against seasonal weather while promoting exercise and herd interaction in a low-stress environment.
Regular handling during feeding and grooming helps build trust and keeps animals calm during transport and veterinary visits.
Layawa Cattle combines time-honored ranch practices with current welfare protocols to ensure consistent growth rates, optimal carcass quality and a resilient herd.
Truman coordinates with local livestock veterinarians to review herd health plans and seasonal vaccination schedules.
