Sdg Ranch LLC

Sdg Ranch LLC breeds Wagyu cattle in Carthage, MO, in southwestern Missouri near Joplin, on an established family ranch. The ranch is managed by Sarah Cochran, who follows strict health protocols, adheres to seasonal nutritional plans, and participates in recognized breed registries to maintain herd quality.

The animals live on rolling pastures managed with rotational grazing and shaded loafing areas to support both health and land stewardship. Breeding selections prioritize marbling scores, feed efficiency and docile temperaments, with calves socialized from birth. Several head have earned top ribbons and grand champion titles at regional livestock shows, reflecting consistent selection standards. Transparency in breeding records, traceability of parentage and an emphasis on natural husbandry underscore Sdg Ranch LLC’s approach.

Seasonal mineral supplementation, customized feeding plans and a partnership with local veterinarians help monitor herd health year-round. This blend of traditional cattlemanship, careful record-keeping and a balance of performance traits supports reliable genetics and well-rounded character in every calf.
