The Hughes Family Farm

The Hughes Family Farm is a Wagyu breeder in Leona Valley, California, in the Santa Clarita Valley near Los Angeles.

It participates in American Wagyu Association registrations, adheres to recommended health testing protocols, and maintains routine veterinary assessments to safeguard herd well-being. Cattle spend most days on open pasture under a rotational grazing plan, and regular, gentle handling supports calm temperaments and easy adaptation to farm life.

Nutrition blends traditional forage with measured finishing feeds to enhance marble development while preserving digestive health. Breeding choices focus on documented pedigree records, aiming for consistency in both genetic quality and quiet dispositions. This family-run farm emphasizes hands-on care and transparent practices, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare and reliable, well-tempered stock. Calves are introduced early to handling facilities designed to minimize stress during weaning and loading, setting a foundation for strong health outcomes.
