Our Ranch. Our Butchers. Our Wagyu.
Located north of Manhattan, Kansas, Booth Creek Wagyu Ranch is anything but flat – despite what most people think about our state's geography. The land features deep, wooded creek draws, surrounded by rolling hills of lush tallgrass prairie, making for the perfect place to raise our special herd of Wagyu cattle.
The business began in 2020 when our founder, Dave Dreiling, attended his first Wagyu auction. This led him to study the Wagyu industry in America, seeing different opportunities to improve the industry through efficiency, education, and a more practical business approach. His idea, and the Wagyu herd, quickly grew. As a lifelong entrepreneur and outdoorsman, it was the perfect recipe for a new venture.
There are several aspects of the business that separates Booth Creek from many other Wagyu producers, and each plays a critical role in realizing our vision.
Booth Creek prides itself on being a vertical Wagyu beef company, but what does that mean? Booth Creek owns the entire process, starting from our Ranch, to our specialized Wagyu feeding program at Wagyu Feeders Inc., to our processing plant, Meatworks of Kansas, to our retail locations and distribution center. All this is owned and operated by us, within a 20-mile radius of each other. This is the main driver to separating us from the rest in our industry.
Much has changed since that first cattle auction, but our founding principle hasn’t. We’re here to elevate America’s standard of quality beef.
