The following spring, we had three little Wagyu calves on the ground. While we were excited to raise our own calves, the roughly two years it takes to finish a Wagyu calf seemed like a long way off before we could see and taste the fruits of our labor. So in the spring of 2020, when we found some Wagyu calves for sale that were almost finished and just a few miles from our ranch, we decided to purchase them and get the ball rolling a little sooner. We harvested the first Wagyu calf in the summer of 2021, and that is when we officially started Legacy Ranch American Wagyu. We are so excited about Wagyu beef, and it is such a pleasure to be able to share this exceptional meat with our family, friends, and valued customers.
Our Growth
When we first started our beef business, it was under a different name. We decided pretty quickly that we wanted the name of our business to be more than just a title that sounded good. We settled on Legacy Ranch because it helps to remind us that we aren’t just raising cattle and building a business for us, but more for those who come after us. We feel that God has blessed us with this opportunity to raise our children on a ranch where they can learn the value of hard work and take care of God’s creation.
As we continue to build this business, we are excited to also build meaningful relationships with all of those that we meet along the way. We believe strongly in the value of community and people helping people. One of our greatest satisfactions is when we receive encouraging feedback from some of our customers about their first experience with Legacy Ranch beef. We are excited about this journey that God has placed us on, and we are ready to meet you and give you the opportunity to experience what truly exceptional beef should taste like!
