Macvane Homestead LLC

Macvane Homestead LLC raises Wagyu cattle in Ballston Spa, NY, in Saratoga County and the Capital District near Albany. Owner David Macvane applies best practices from recognized breed associations, ensuring each animal receives regular health screenings and genetic assessments. Every breeding candidate is evaluated for temperament and structural soundness on-site, with detailed records kept to guide future herd improvement.

The herd grazes on rotated pastures and has access to sheltered loafing areas year-round, supporting both physical development and calm temperaments. Calves grow up with early socialization routines, interacting with handlers and peer groups from their first weeks. The homestead is family-run across generations, reflecting a longstanding dedication to sustainable land stewardship and soil health. A balanced feeding program combines pasture forages with measured grain rations to promote consistent growth and marbling. Customers often note the consistency of quality across different cohorts, reflecting the farm’s commitment to thoughtful breeding.
