Mountaintown Creek Ranch

Mountaintown Creek Ranch is a wagyu cattle breeder in Ellijay, GA, in the north Georgia mountains near Chattanooga. Its owner, Keith Brown, has focused on bloodlines suited to the breed’s tender meat quality and balanced temperament. The ranch follows national cattle association guidelines and conducts regular health screenings for common genetic conditions.

Animals graze on rotating pastures edged by hardwood timber, with sheltered loafing areas, sturdy fencing and clean water sources. Calves remain with dams for the first months to support natural social behavior. A balanced feeding program blends forage with trace minerals year-round, supporting steady growth without added hormones or antibiotics. Hoof care and veterinary checkups follow a set schedule, and calves benefit from early handling to build confidence around handlers. This blend of natural grazing and attentive management helps develop the breed’s signature marbling while maintaining animal welfare standards.
