WILDERS FAQS

Our Practices

Our cattle are pasture-raised and grain finished. Our hogs are pasture-raised on the ground, free to forage through wooden pasture, then grain finished.

We are not certified organic because we feel it is important to treat our animals like we would our children. We never give any unnecessary medicine, but if an animal becomes ill we will treat it with the appropriate antibiotics.

Yes! Our animals enjoy life grazing on our 1300 acre farm - just as nature intended. The cattle move pastures regularly throughout the year.

We raise fullblood 100% Wagyu cattle and Berkshire hogs.

Our facilities are top notch, meeting Beef Quality Assurance standards.

We treat our animals in the most humane way possible - all of our processors are Certified Animal Welfare Approved and USDA inspected.

We treat our animals just like you would your children. We never give them any unnecessary medication, but occasionally they do get sick and need to be treated accordingly.

Our Products

Fullblood Wagyu beef can only come from cattle who’s genetics on both sides of the pedigree originate in Japan, while American Wagyu is created by crossing Angus with Wagyu.

Kobe beef is fullbood Wagyu, but it must come from cattle born, raised, and harvested in the city of Kobe, in the Hyogo prefecture of Japan.

The Berkshire hog is a British breed originating in the English county of Berkshire. It is often referred to as the Wagyu beef of pork, having a much richer and more tender flavor.

Grass fed, grain finished means that our cattle and hogs have had access to pasture their entire lives, and once they mature into the finishing program, they are switched to a grain and roughage diet until harvested.
