Lee & Mary Briggs Ranch

Lee & Mary Briggs Ranch raise Wagyu cattle in Midland, SD, in central South Dakota near Rapid City. They follow breed association guidelines for health testing and breeding standards, ensuring strong genetics and herd health. Each calf begins life on open pasture with regular handling to support gentle temperaments and resilient growth.

They integrate rotational grazing with customized nutrition plans, using locally produced forage and grains to maintain soil health and support marbling development across rolling meadows. Operating from a family-led farm, Lee & Mary Briggs Ranch draw on seasons of experience to refine herd management and pasture care. They participate in regional livestock exhibitions to benchmark herd qualities and learn from fellow breeders. The cumulative attention to genetics and environment reflects a balance between tradition and thoughtful innovation. Calves are vaccinated and monitored by a licensed veterinarian to uphold health standards and early detection of any concerns.
