Ripplin Turkey

Ripplin Turkey, Wagyu cattle, Wetumka, OK, in east-central Oklahoma near Oklahoma City. Raymond Klish has raised Wagyu for more than a decade and is a member of the American Wagyu Association, with annual genetic evaluations and routine ultrasound scoring. Animals are housed in rotational pasture systems that follow seasonal grazing patterns and receive mineral-balanced supplements to support growth and well-being.

Young cattle are introduced to handling early through calm, daily interactions and regular exposure to visitors on the family’s turn-of-the-century farmstead. The herd includes bloodlines familiar from national carcass merit programs and occasional embryos from top Japanese herds. A quiet temperament and consistent marbling scores have drawn praise from local restaurants and small-scale butchers.

Each animal undergoes regular hoof and dental checks by a local veterinarian to maintain herd health before every breeding season. The family’s long-term approach emphasizes patience in natural marbling development and careful record-keeping over flashy show results.
