Rao Ranch

Rao Ranch raises Wagyu cattle in Bellaire, TX, in the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio. Anthony Rao oversees a family-run operation that participates in national registry programs and conducts regular health testing on all breeding stock. Detailed records track lineage, growth rates, performance metrics, and health histories to inform breeding decisions.

The herd grazes diverse pastures year-round using rotational paddocks, and calves share round-the-clock access to shelter and gentle handling. On-site barns, open-air pens, and shaded loafing areas provide clean, climate-conscious environments that reflect the ranch’s approach to animal welfare. The operation emphasizes gradual socialization and stress-free routines to support both temperament and robust development. Streams and ponds on the property supplement the herd’s water needs, supporting pasture health and hydration.
