We’re a collection of the nation’s most progressive ranches, leading the way.
Welcome to Watershed Ranches
Our mission is to develop a revolutionary beef supply chain that improves the health of the animals, the environment, and the consumer.
Healthy Animals
Our American Wagyu cattle spend their life at pasture, with easy access to clean water, green grasses, and whole grain. They are never ever treated with antibiotics, hormones, or growth promotants.
Healthy Environment
Regenerative ranching techniques, based in regenerative agriculture, lead to improved soil health and biodiversity, continuously enhancing the ecosystem and environmental productivity.
Healthy Consumers
Our beef combines the very best health attributes of American Wagyu beef and grass fed beef, being significantly higher in monounsaturated fats, as well as omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, than commodity grain-fed beef.
Our Program
Watershed Ranches’ collection of progressive, pioneering cattle ranches are focused on humanely raising a herd that is suited for life at pasture.
This herd is crossbred with Kuroge Washu Black Wagyu bulls to produce beef with the elevated eating experience that comes from the remarkable intramuscular marbling inherent to the Wagyu breed. Our focus on regenerative agricultural practices promotes not only the sustainable utilization of pasture resources, but also ensures the cattle are thriving.
Rooted in Regenerative Agriculture
All Watershed Ranches producers commit to creating a plan that embodies the six principles of regenerative agriculture. Through consistent monitoring and verification, this producer plan demonstrates annual improvement towards restoring and continually enhancing the ecosystem while improving agricultural productivity and reducing carbon emissions.
