Ozella Wagyu Genetics

Ozella Wagyu Genetics raises wagyu cattle in Bainbridge, Indiana, in southwestern Indiana near Evansville. The operation has bred wagyu for more than ten years under the guidance of Hollie Curtis or Megan Navarro and maintains American Wagyu Association registration with regular genetic testing and annual veterinary screenings.

Animals are raised in pasture-based herds with shelter access and gradual introduction to handling for calm cattle. Calving occurs in open pastures to encourage natural behaviors and calves remain with their mothers for extended periods. Record keeping and feed programs focus on balanced nutrition tailored to wagyu marbling development. The farm atmosphere blends small-scale attention with comprehensive health protocols to support consistent herd performance. Many local farmers note the herd’s calm temperament and steady growth rates through finishing programs. Future plans include trialing rotational grazing methods to refine weight gain efficiency and enhance pasture health.
