Mchugh Ranch

Mchugh Ranch, Wagyu cattle, Middleburgh, NY, Schoharie County and the Capital District near Albany. Its owner, George Mchugh, has focused on breeding quality bloodlines for over a decade, with membership in the American Wagyu Association and routine genetic screening for marbling and health. Calves are raised in open pastures on native grasses and receive early handling to encourage calm temperaments.

The herd comprises selective foundation cows and bulls chosen for growth efficiency and docile behavior, managed under a rotational grazing system that supports soil health and natural forage growth. Years of selective breeding have produced animals that earn honors at regional livestock shows and provide consistent carcass quality for local artisans.

Health records are meticulously kept and shared with prospective breeders to ensure transparency. Visitors and farming partners note the ranch’s transparent practices and attentive care during all life stages. This steady approach has fostered a reputation for reliable genetics and animal well-being.
