We are excited to announce the addition of our Full Blood Akaushi females.  These cows were selected for their moderate frame size and strong maternal traits along with structural soundness.  A few of these will be added into our donor program this spring.

Akaushi is one of the 4 breeds of the Japanese Wagyu cattle. Akaushi cattle are genetically predisposed to deposit marbling (fine fat) inside the muscle.  This marbling is what gives the Akaushi beef all of the rich flavor and incredible tenderness.  Akaushi beef is also heart healthy, providing high levels of oleic acid and monounsaturated fats. (healthy good fat.) 

Artesian Ranch is home to 300 Angus and Red Angus base cows which are bred to high quality Registered Akaushi bulls to produce the much sought out half-blood genetics.

Our cattle program is BEEF carcass driven to produce a high percentage of prime carcasses to fit our customer’s demands and those of high-end restaurants.  We also sell half-blood females, bulls, and steers annually on a private treaty basis.

At the ranch we have over 20 different herd sires.

They range in age from 1.5 years old to 9 years old. All of our bulls are 100% full-blood Akaushi bred.
