Why Not Ranch

Why Not Ranch breeds Wagyu cattle in Rockdale, TX, in Central Texas near Austin. The operation follows registry guidelines and maintains complete health records, with routine veterinary checks and careful genetic selection. Calves spend their first months grazing on rotational pastures and receive daily handling to promote calm temperaments and social bonds.

Michael Winot emphasizes sustainable grazing practices, using forage planting and pasture management to support the land and herd health. Detailed feeding programs include trace mineral supplements and custom forage blends to enhance marbling and overall condition. Several local chefs source beef from the ranch for its consistent flavor and texture, illustrating the ranch’s steady role in regional breeding efforts.

Visitors to seasonal farm tours can learn about the selection process and the ranch’s commitment to animal welfare. The herd adapts well to the Texas climate under well-designed shade and cooling systems.
