Wilders Farm

Wilders Farm offers Wagyu cattle in Clayton, NC, Johnston County in the Triangle near Raleigh. Reid Smith has many years of experience with recognized cattle registry programs and routine health testing to support strong bloodlines. The herd grazes on rotational pasture with access to clean water and shelter, and calves are handled daily to foster calm temperaments.

Emphasizing genetics prized for fine marbling and gentle disposition, the operation reflects a family farm tradition of sustainable land stewardship. A finishing program without added hormones or antibiotics supports balanced flavor and tenderness in the resulting beef. Calves spend their early weeks alongside adult cows and familiar handlers, building resilience to varied conditions and easing future transitions.

During winter, the herd is supplemented with hay and a balanced mineral mix to ensure steady growth through cooler months. They offer registered weaned calves suitable for small herds and breeding programs.
