Wicks Farms Inc.

Wicks Farms Inc. is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Chester, MT, in north-central Montana near Great Falls. Patrick Wicks has guided the farm for several years and maintains memberships in the American Wagyu Association to support herd quality through routine health screenings and genetic evaluations. Animals graze on open pasture and are raised with low-stress handling, allowing calves to develop firm social bonds before moving to the main herd.

Housing barns are well ventilated and cleaned daily, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare and natural husbandry. The farm uses rotational grazing practices that benefit soil health and support consistent, marbled beef quality sought by local chefs. The operation traces its roots to regional ranching traditions, blending time-honored methods with selective breeding to enhance marbling patterns. Feed rations combine locally grown hay with carefully balanced supplements, ensuring steady growth and muscle development.
