Md-West View Genetics

Md-West View Genetics is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Boonsboro, MD, Washington County and the Appalachian Mountains near Hagerstown. Established over a decade ago, it adheres to American Wagyu Association guidelines and performs regular health tests on every animal. Its cattle graze on rotational paddocks with access to shelter and are introduced to gentle handling routines from birth. Matt Iager draws on a background in sustainable farming to maintain soil fertility and support herd well-being.

The farm’s focus on balanced nutrition and low-stress environments has earned praise from local farmers familiar with its cattle quality. Visitors note the calm temperament of the herd and the consistent results in marbling when animals are processed. A small on-site barn allows for close observation of calving and early socialization that contributes to calmer adult cattle. Care is guided by a respect for both traditional Japanese breeding standards and adaptations suited to local climate conditions.
