Foursquare Farm

Foursquare Farm, wagyu cattle breeder in Oak Harbor, WA, serves Island County and the Puget Sound near Seattle. Jc Pate has developed a herd selection program aligned with American Wagyu Association guidelines and ensures all breeding stock undergo routine testing for common hereditary conditions with annual veterinary checkups.

Calves are reared on open pasture with access to well-drained shelters, and they spend daily time around the barn to build familiarity with routine inspections. The herd cycles through rotational grazing fields to maintain pasture health and minimize parasite loads. The farm’s setting on fertile island meadows supports grass-fed finishing protocols that complement wagyu quality.

Pate shares herd management insights at regional agricultural workshops to support sustainable farming practices. Attention to marbling and fat distribution helps maintain the breed’s characteristic flavor and texture. This hands-on care is reflected in consistent herd health and a calm disposition across all ages, reflecting a commitment to careful herd management.
