Walter Koon

Walter Koon, Wagyu cattle, Little Rock, AR, in Pulaski County and the Arkansas Delta near Memphis. They register each calf with the American Wagyu Association and follow recommended health screenings for genetic conditions.

Cattle are raised on rotational pasture with access to a sheltered feeding area and handled daily to encourage calm behavior. Their operation traces through multiple breeding seasons, with attention to genetic diversity and herd health records.

Tours by appointment offer insight into the farm’s low-stress management methods, where early socialization prepares calves for future breeding or beef programs. Local chefs and butchers note the consistent marbling, calling the beef a reliable choice for artisan-cut offerings. Fed a balanced diet of grass and supplemental grain blends, animals develop robust muscle structure and rich flavor profiles. Facilities include a climate-controlled barn for nursing calves and a separate pen for yearling development.
