The Childersburg Cattle Company

The Childersburg Cattle Company, Wagyu, Birmingham, AL, is a family-run ranch located in Jefferson County and the foothills of the southern Appalachians near Huntsville. It adheres to American Wagyu Association guidelines, keeps detailed herd records, and conducts regular genetic and health screenings to maintain herd well-being.

Animals rotate through spring-fed pastures with open barns and ample shade, and calves are gently introduced to handlers early on to foster calm temperaments. Their herd traces back to established Japanese bloodlines prized for marbling and consistent growth rates. The ranch supports local ecosystems by maintaining buffer zones along creek banks and reestablishing native grasses.

Consistency in herd management is reflected in a reliable record of healthy calves born during each season. Local chefs have noted consistent flavor and tenderness in meat from this herd. Attention to pasture rotation and humane handling contributes to steady growth and calm dispositions valued by both animals and staff.
