Shadowbuck Farm LLC

Shadowbuck Farm LLC raises wagyu cattle in The Dalles, OR, in the Columbia River Gorge near Portland. Tom Peters has been breeding wagyu for more than a decade and participates in registry programs that emphasize genetic screening to support free of known hereditary conditions. As a member of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association, the farm follows guidelines for environmental stewardship. Herds graze on rotational pastures, with attention to soil health and forage diversity, and calves are handled daily to foster gentle temperaments.

Animal welfare practices include shelter barns during the wet season and regularly scheduled veterinary checkups to monitor growth and nutrition. Started as a small family operation, the farm has evolved around a philosophy of sustainable pasture management and transparency in breeding records. Local chefs and ranchers note consistent marbling and balanced weight gains, reflecting the farm’s steady approach and long-term commitment.
