Sarah Macias

Sarah Macias, Wagyu cattle, Alturas, CA, sits in Modoc County and the Sierra Nevada near Redding. She has more than a decade of experience raising Wagyu, with membership in the American Wagyu Association and regular health screenings for genetic traits and overall well-being.

Her cattle graze on rotational pasture, and each group spends time in a shaded barn for social interaction and monitoring. Born and raised on family ranchland, her focus on gentle handling has led to calm, well-adjusted herds. Offspring often carry favorable marbling scores recognized at county fairs, and several calves have placed among top contenders for regional shows.

Visitors often note the serene environment and the clear commitment to natural resource stewardship. The farm’s tidy corrals and meticulous feeding plan reflect a philosophy that prioritizes animal welfare alongside sustainable land use. Her calves thrive on a balanced diet of fresh pasture grasses and carefully measured supplemental grain rations.
