West Virginia Wagyu

West Virginia Wagyu raises Wagyu cattle in Maysville, WV, Ohio River Valley near Huntington. Tyler Sites established the herd over ten years ago and maintains membership in the American Wagyu Association with routine genetic and health testing of the breeding stock. Calves are raised on pastures that follow rotational grazing methods and receive daily handling to support early socialization.

They rotate pastures along the river to maintain fresh forage and provide sturdy shelters and clean water year round. A local restaurant owner once remarked on the consistent quality of their beef at a farm cooperative tasting. This long family property has supported small scale heritage livestock for generations and reflects a slow growth farming approach that many local farmers appreciate.

Their cattle follow a grass based diet supplemented in winter with locally sourced hay to maintain steady weight gain. They often spend time with farm dogs and children to build confidence and adaptability.
