Zwack Cattle Company

Zwack Cattle Company is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Dubuque, IA, serving Northeast Iowa near Davenport. Its herd is registered with the American Wagyu Association, and the cattle undergo regular genetic and wellness screenings guided by breed standards to maintain consistency and robust health.

The farm practices rotational grazing on rich pastures supplemented by hay grown on site, allowing animals to develop naturally without growth-promoting additives. Joseph P Zwack draws on decades of regional farming experience to implement low-stress handling techniques and individualized care from birth through maturity.

Calving pens are designed for comfort and observation, and young calves have access to communal areas that encourage social behavior and proper musculoskeletal growth. The team balances time-honored ranching traditions with ongoing research into forage blends, fostering a herd whose temperament and structure reflect careful management. Regular consultations with veterinary specialists inform vaccination schedules and reproductive management, ensuring herd vitality across seasons.
