About A Place for Kash Ranch
With the perfect location and a dream of providing the highest quality cattle, A Place for Kash Ranch was born in 2018. Akaushi Wagyu piqued the interest of owner, Nick Willden, after learning about their superior beef and breeding capabilities from a close friend in the cattle business. Since then, the beautiful 40-acre ranch has been developed to include top quality facilities including an elaborate watering system to provide water to a high desert area and has expanded to add a 35-acre alfalfa farm that supplies the operation with 250 tons of hay annually.
Willden has stayed true to his original commitment to provide top quality Akaushi Wagyu at reasonable prices to cattle raisers in Utah and across the nation. Along with help from his son, the duo have plans to expand the operation to provide more cattle raisers with the opportunity to add A Place for Kash genetics to their herds while still maintaining hands-on involvement and the strictest quality control.
Through sustainable growth, A Place for Kash Ranch plans to provide top quality Akaushi Wagyu seed stock for years to come.
A Place for Kash Ranch is a member of the American Akaushi Association and the American Wagyu Association.
