St. Ann'S Cattle Co

St. Ann’S Cattle Co raises Wagyu in Carlisle, PA, in Cumberland County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. Paul Macnamara has spent more than ten years developing bloodlines, holds membership in the Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association, and follows industry-standard health testing for genetic traits, fertility, and disease.

Calves are raised on rotational pasture with a tailored feeding program that includes forage blends and targeted mineral supplements to support steady growth and social herd dynamics. Daily handling and shaded loafing areas help maintain calm temperaments, while calves spend their early weeks in family groups to encourage natural social behavior. The farm traces its roots back to local dairy operations of the 1950s and retains a commitment to sustainable practices, including manure management and water conservation.

Visitors have noted the farm’s relaxed pace and attention to animal well-being in online reviews, highlighting the gentle approach and transparent practices. Paul integrates feedback from other small-lot producers to refine breeding goals and uphold the farm’s reputation for consistency and care.
