Snowcrest Farm

Snowcrest Farm raises Wagyu cattle in Milan, PA, in northwestern Pennsylvania near Erie. Scott Walrath and Lydia Walrath have been breeding Wagyu cattle for several years and are members of the American Wagyu Association, following careful health screening for common concerns. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling to support a calm temperament and overall well-being.

The farm combines traditional breeding practices with balanced nutrition plans to encourage consistent marbling in their herds. A local chef noted the meat’s tenderness and depth of flavor, reflecting the farm’s attention to animal welfare from calving to finishing. They maintain clean birthing pens and provide individual monitoring during the first weeks of life to ensure healthy calves.

Seasonal forage and custom-formulated feeds support growth while preserving pasture ecosystems. The couple’s hands-on approach and open farm tours help families learn about sustainable cattle care and responsible stewardship.
