Tammy Shaw

Tammy Shaw, Wagyu cattle, Sweetwater, TX, operates in west Texas near Abilene. She has been raising Wagyu for over a decade and her herd is registered with national cattle associations.

All animals undergo routine health screenings, genetic evaluations and nutritional assessments, and detailed records track lineage, health milestones and performance outcomes for each animal. Feeding blends include forage-based diets supplemented with tailored grain rations designed to support gradual weight gain. Cattle graze on rotating pastures of native grasses and receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments and ease of management. Raised on a mixed-grass ranch, they benefit from open-air shelters and a low-stress weaning process in small cohorts.

Tammy’s breeding philosophy balances maternal traits and marble scoring based on objective metrics and on-farm observation. Locally, reviewers note the cattle’s even temper and consistent growth rates in both show rings and private herds.
