Wesley Leifeste

Wesley Leifeste is a Wagyu cattle breeder in Kerrville, TX in the Texas Hill Country near San Antonio. Leifeste has spent more than a decade building his herd through careful selection, and he follows recommended health screening along with genetic evaluation to support robust genetics. As a member of the American Wagyu Association, he registers each animal to maintain transparent lineage records and stays current with regional best practices through annual meetings.

Calves are raised on open pasture with shelter available year round, moving freely across fenced paddocks under daily handling to keep them accustomed to people and contribute to calmer dispositions at all stages. At the family-run ranch, attention to soil health and rotational grazing supports sustainable pastures and consistent weight gains. Feedback from neighboring operations often highlights the consistent marbling potential and reliable temperament of his cattle. Leifeste’s approach reflects a long-standing commitment to quality care and authentic breed characteristics.
