Whispering Pines Ranch LLC

Whispering Pines Ranch LLC, Wagyu cattle, Laingsburg, MI, central Michigan near Lansing. Riley and Morgan Arnold have been raising Wagyu cattle for more than a decade, maintain membership in the American Wagyu Association, and follow genetic and health screening protocols for their herd. Their herd grazes on mixed-grass pastures using a rotational system, and calves are handled daily to encourage calm temperaments and resilient dispositions.

The couple’s breeding program focuses on balanced marbling and maternal traits, and several animals have received ribbons at regional livestock exhibitions. Housing includes climate-sheltered barns stocked with organic forage, while year-round access to turnout paddocks supports natural behavior. They partner with local educational programs to share their stewardship practices and promote awareness of sustainable ranching. Careful selection over generations has yielded a herd known for consistent muscle conformation and gentle dispositions. They invest in pasture restoration and soil health to ensure high quality forage throughout the seasons.
