Palouse Praire Cattle Co.

Palouse Praire Cattle Co. raises wagyu cattle in Tekoa, WA, Whitman County and the Palouse near Spokane. The family-owned ranch maintains membership in the American Wagyu Association and adheres to recognized breed standards. It participates in national registry programs, conducts routine genetic and veterinary health testing, and maintains detailed herd records. Animals graze on open pasture with rotational fencing, natural water sources, and daily human contact to encourage calm dispositions.

Owners prioritize soil health and native grass varieties to support sustainable grazing, plan annual pasture rotations to prevent overgrazing, and small herd sizes allow for individual attention during breeding seasons. The team schedules periodic ultrasounds and brucellosis screening to ensure livestock wellness.

Lineage documentation highlights marbling traits valued by regional producers and farmstead processors. Ongoing records and transparent practices reflect the owners’ focus on animal welfare and long-term land stewardship.
