The Double D Farm

The Double D Farm raises Wagyu cattle in Greencastle, IN, in Putnam County and west central Indiana near Indianapolis. It follows breed association guidelines and upholds herd health protocols, including routine veterinary assessments, DNA-based screening, and nutritional monitoring to ensure sound genetics.

Calves spend their early weeks in sheltered paddocks before joining rotationally grazed pastures, where they learn to adapt to changing forage and weather patterns. Regular handling by a small team encourages calm behavior and builds trust, which contributes to consistent weight gain and meat quality. Owner Alan Deno combines pasture diversification with soil fertility practices to promote nutrient-rich grazing and well-marbled muscle development.

Many local chefs note the fine marbling and balanced flavor that comes from the farm’s approach to cattle care and feeding. Its compliance with state regulations and participation in regional cattle shows reflects transparency and respect for Wagyu standards.
