O'Donnell Farm

O'Donnell Farm, Wagyu cattle, Westfield, VT, in Orleans County and the Northeast Kingdom near Burlington. O'Donnell Farm has raised wagyu cattle for more than ten years and holds membership in recognized livestock associations, with health screenings conducted before each breeding season.

The farm follows a seasonal breeding calendar so that most calves arrive in spring when pasture grasses are supple and daylight supports steady early growth. Calves remain in family-operated pastures with access to open-sided barns and straw bedding during colder months, and they receive daily handling to encourage a calm temper.

Feeding routines blend lush forage with a carefully calibrated grain-finishing phase, promoting rich marbling without artificial additives. Visitors and local chefs often remark on the uniform texture and flavor profile of the beef and appreciate the farm’s steady emphasis on humane animal care. Patrick O'Donnell restored a century-old barn on the property, melding traditional farm practices with modern welfare standards.
