Leah Trissel

Leah Trissel, Wagyu cattle, Yelm, WA, is based in Thurston County and the Puget Sound near Tacoma. With over 15 years of dedicated selective breeding experience, she registers her herd with the American Wagyu Association and follows careful recommended genetic testing protocols for calving ease and overall herd health.

Cattle graze year-round on rotational pasture supplemented with locally sourced hay during winter, and calves grow alongside their dams in a low-stress environment. Herdsmanship at Fir Lane Farm prioritizes natural behavior and early socialization, creating a calm setting across gently rolling fields. Transparent records on each animal’s health, growth milestones, performance data and lineage offer buyers detailed insights into herd development. The herd thrives in the Pacific Northwest climate and is adapted to seasonal shifts in pasture growth. Buyers often note the consistency of marbling and friendly disposition in their animals, fitting diverse small-scale operations.
