Lisa Newkirk

Lisa Newkirk breeds Wagyu cattle in Van Nuys, CA, in Los Angeles County and San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles. She has several years of breeding experience, holds memberships in major beef cattle associations and follows recommended health screenings. Her Wagyu herd is selectively developed with pedigree records tracing back to registered bloodlines valued for consistent marbling and growth. The cattle graze on open pasture and receive routine veterinary care, ensuring a healthy environment year-round.

Calves are introduced gently to handling and socialized around the family early on to promote calm temperaments. This small-scale operation allows for personalized attention, and Newkirk provides guidance on transitioning cattle to local grazing operations. Prospective buyers appreciate her open-door policy for farm visits, detailed health records and transparent record-keeping. Set on a gently rolling ranch, her property features shaded shelters and rotational grazing paddocks that support pasture renewal.
