Providence Farmstead

Providence Farmstead raises Wagyu cattle in Hilmar, CA, Merced County and the Central Valley near Modesto. C.A. Russell has maintained multi-generational pedigree records and follows recommended health screening protocols for Wagyu cattle. It implements national breed association guidelines to support temperament, genetic health, and performance evaluation within its herd.

All cattle are raised on pasture and receive daily hands-on care to support early socialization and proper growth. The farm employs year-round rotational grazing to maintain soil and pasture vitality and reduce stress among animals. Breeding lines emphasize marbling and sound structure, guided by pedigree documentation and breed association standards.

Calves are introduced to shelter, comfortable bedding, and feed regimens that mirror natural grazing patterns to promote long-term well-being. Generations of cattle handlers have refined Providence Farmstead’s approach to selection and nutrition, resulting in a resilient and consistent herd suited to regional climate shifts.
