Ray And Cindy Ballmann

Ray And Cindy Ballmann raise Wagyu cattle in Kopperl, TX, in Central Texas near Waco. They follow national Wagyu association guidelines with regular health screenings and detailed lineage records to support herd quality.

Their cattle graze on native pastures, where thoughtfully planned rotation programs promote animal welfare and pasture health. On the family-owned ranch, calves are gently introduced to handlers early, building confidence and ease around routine care. A focus on low-stress handling and balanced nutrition reflects their belief that compassionate practices yield consistent, flavorful beef.

This approach has earned positive feedback from buyers who value transparency and responsive communication about breeding goals. They selectively maintain small herd sizes to ensure each animal receives personalized attention and breeding matches align with customers’ long-term goals. By integrating soil health strategies and water conservation techniques, the Ballmanns aim to preserve the landscape that supports their cattle.
