Happy Rock Wagyu is a family-operated wagyu cattle breeder in Gladstone, ND, in north-central North Dakota near Bismarck. They are members of the American Wagyu Association and prioritize routine health screening, nutritional evaluations, and transparent bloodline records. Justin and Mike Boersma oversee breeding selections and daily care, drawing on their ranch background and a focus on sustainable practices.
Their herd grazes on rotating pastures and accesses open barns, and calves are gently socialized from birth to ensure calm temperaments. The farm spans rolling grasslands that support sustainable grazing cycles and contribute to overall animal well-being. Visitors note the rich marbling, gentle dispositions, and meat quality that reflect the family’s attentive farming methods. The operation blends time-honored husbandry with modern animal care protocols to maintain consistency and transparency. Prospective buyers appreciate the hands-on farm experience and the reliable selection of weaned calves ready for new pastures.
