Muddy Flats Cattle Co.

Muddy Flats Cattle Co., Wagyu cattle, Augusta, WI, in Eau Claire County and the Chippewa Valley near Eau Claire. Owner Michael Goodell draws on years of livestock experience to manage a herd registered with the American Wagyu Association and subject to regular health and genetic evaluations.

Young calves spend their first months on rotating grass paddocks, where handlers provide daily interaction to nurture balanced temperaments and strong social bonds. Winter shelters and mineral-rich feed plans are tailored to support growth while maintaining pasture rotation schedules. Detailed lineage records trace each animal’s ancestry, and traceability protocols document care from calving through finishing.

Muddy Flats Cattle Co. champions sustainable practices on its modest acreage, blending traditional grazing methods with careful oversight. Local steakhouse owners and farmstead markets often remark on the firm texture and subtle richness of the beef. A focus on responsible stewardship and humane handling underlies every stage of the operation.
