Thomas Remmele

Thomas Remmele breeds Wagyu cattle in Echo, Minnesota, in Swift County and southern Minnesota near Mankato. He began raising Wagyu cattle more than fifteen years ago with a focus on sustainable land stewardship. He has been part of breeding programs recognized by the American Wagyu Association and follows health testing protocols for genetic disorders and overall herd wellness. His approach emphasizes rotational grazing on mixed grass pastures across the farm, allowing cattle to develop at a natural pace.

Animals live in a mix of open pasture and climate-controlled indoor barns to balance seasonal comfort and daily exercise. Calves receive gentle regular handling from birth, fostering calm temperaments that carry into maturity. Breeding decisions are guided by pedigree records and marbling scores to maintain herd consistency. Many customers often note the consistent marbling and meat quality that Wagyu cattle are known for.
