Lylester Ranch, LLC

Lylester Ranch, LLC raises Wagyu cattle in Martell, NE, Lancaster County and the Great Plains near Lincoln. It participates in programs supported by the American Wagyu Association and maintains detailed traceability and periodic health screenings. Its calves are born on grassy paddocks and spend their days grazing under watchful care, benefiting from a low-stress environment and gradual socialization with handlers.

The family-operated ranch integrates time-honored grazing practices with modern monitoring tools to ensure consistent growth and well-being. Lylester Ranch has roots dating back several generations, with a tradition of hands-on care and respect for the land. Several herd members regularly record high marbling scores, reflecting the ranch’s dedication to genetic selection and quality assurance.

Rotational grazing on well-managed pastures supports soil health and offers cattle diverse forage throughout the year. The ranch operates seasonally and adapts herd size to environmental conditions to promote welfare and sustainability.
