Schaffner Wagyu

Schaffner Wagyu, Wagyu cattle, Lebanon, MO, in the Ozarks region near Springfield. Craig Schaffner has been working with Wagyu cattle for over a decade and follows American Wagyu Association guidelines for health screening, performance evaluations, and herd management. On-site facilities include covered feeding areas and winter shelters designed to keep cattle comfortable through seasonal changes.

Calves spend early weeks grazing alongside their mothers in rotational pasture systems that promote natural behaviors, biodiversity, and soil health. Routine veterinary checks, diligent nutrition monitoring, and genetic testing help maintain quality and support long-term herd health. Local buyers appreciate the attention given to each animal’s temperament and well-marbled beef characteristics. Schaffner shares breeding insights at regional livestock forums and supports community outreach at nearby fairs. The farm’s steady improvements in grazing practices and infrastructure reflect a respect for both the cattle and the environment.
