Spring Creek Grass And Cattle

Spring Creek Grass And Cattle raises wagyu cattle in Clearwater, KS, south-central Kansas near Wichita. Melissa Oelkers and Raegen Oelkers have built their herd over several seasons and follow recognized wagyu association guidelines with routine veterinary health checks. The cattle graze on open pastures managed through rotational grazing, and calves are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments. Their breeding program emphasizes detailed parentage records and genetic diversity to support long-term herd vitality.

Drawing on their family’s ranching heritage, the Oelkers apply sustainable land stewardship and minimize chemical inputs on pasture. Prospective buyers receive thorough health summaries and lineage information to ensure transparency and confidence in every animal. Calving takes place in spring, allowing calves to thrive on fresh forage under close observation during their first months. The Oelkers emphasize open barns and ample shade to protect livestock through summer heat, reflecting their commitment to animal welfare.
