Sheehey Family Farm LLC

Sheehey Family Farm LLC raises Wagyu cattle in West Des Moines, Iowa, Polk County and central Iowa near Des Moines. Christopher Sheehey follows established health testing and detailed record keeping to maintain herd well-being and genetic integrity, collaborating with veterinary specialists on nutrition planning.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures and are handled daily under shaded loafing areas to support natural behavior. Animals have access to shelter barns, loose mineral feeders, and fresh water throughout the year.

The farm participates in local cattle associations to stay informed on breeding standards and community initiatives. Selective breeding focuses on marbling quality and structural soundness that define Wagyu beef. A commitment to gentle handling, pasture care, and transparent records underscores the farm’s focus on animal welfare and sustainable practices.
