Rafter Y Cattle Company, Wagyu cattle, New Harmony, Utah, Washington County and the St. George area. Lon Young has been raising Wagyu cattle with attention to bloodline integrity and follows recommended health-testing protocols. The operation works with standard breed registries to track lineage and supports routine veterinary care for all animals.

Animals graze on natural pasture during the day and are housed in open-front shelters at night to adapt to seasonal changes. Young emphasizes low-stress handling and early socialization, aiming to produce cattle with balanced temperaments. A traditional grain finishing approach is used to develop marbling while maintaining overall wellbeing. Each animal’s performance data is recorded to inform future breeding decisions and preserve desired traits.
