Wedekind Farms

Wedekind Farms is a breeder of Wagyu cattle in Chesterfield, SC, in the Pee Dee region near Columbia. With more than twenty years of experience Chip Wedekind maintains registrations with national cattle associations and implements routine health screening protocols for every herd member. Their herd grazes on rotational pastures and receives a grain-supplemented diet designed to enhance marbling while preserving natural foraging behavior.

Regular veterinary assessments and customized mineral supplements support overall herd health and performance. Calves are handled gently from birth to support early social bonding and are raised alongside family dogs and livestock in open-air pens.

Chip Wedekind’s careful selection of bloodlines emphasizes both structural soundness and strong muscle development across every generation. The farm has been family owned for three generations and prides itself on transparent breeding records and an approachable care philosophy. This commitment to quality in Wagyu cattle yields animals with consistent temperament and richly marbled beef attributes valued by discerning chefs and home cooks alike.
