Rhett Mast

Rhett Mast breeds Wagyu cattle in Wabash, Indiana, serving northeast Indiana near Fort Wayne. Mast follows American Wagyu Association guidelines for genetic testing and nutritional management to support robust herd health.

He raises the cattle on open pasture, ensuring they’re handled daily using low-stress techniques to promote calm temperaments. A family-run setup emphasizes rotational grazing and clean shelters, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare. A balanced feeding program combines local forages and carefully formulated grain blends to enhance marbling and overall health.

He partners with a trusted local veterinarian for regular health checks and maintains complete lineage records, and customers note consistent marbling, steady weight gains, and transparency in breeding practices. One reviewer appreciated the clear communication and professionalism shown throughout the purchasing process.
