Persistence Farm

Persistence Farm is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Dover, DE, serving Kent County near Wilmington. It has been raising quality Wagyu cattle for several years and participates in recognized registries to track lineage and overall health. All animals undergo routine health screenings and enjoy daily turnout on rotational pastures with ample space to graze and socialize.

Lisa Dunaway selects breeding stock for structural soundness and marbling characteristics that align with breed standards and long‐term herd health. The farm’s quiet lane setting and hands‐on approach aim to foster calm temperaments and consistent performance in growth and carcass traits. Calving takes place in climate‐controlled barns fitted with straw bedding, and calves are introduced to maternal bonding and staff interactions from day one. Careful record‐keeping ensures each animal’s growth and health milestones are documented, reflecting the farm’s focus on transparency and responsible stewardship.
