Triple Lll Ranch

Triple Lll Ranch is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Woodburn, IN, in northeastern Indiana near Fort Wayne. With years of experience, it follows American Wagyu Association guidelines and ensures all cattle undergo routine veterinary evaluations for health and genetic integrity.

Animals graze on managed pastures and are gently handled from an early age, fostering calm interactions and sturdy dispositions. Calves are reared in barn settings to encourage social bonds and acclimation to routine handling. The ranch maintains moderate herd sizes to provide individualized care and uses planned rotation of fields to preserve forage quality.

Owner Leroy Schmucker brings a background in sustainable land stewardship that informs grazing and soil health practices. Sires and dams are chosen for temperament, structural soundness and carcass data drawn from association records to support balanced marbling traits and overall hardiness. Routine testing for common regional diseases is part of the ranch’s biosecurity protocols.
