Branson Wagyu Cattle in Weatherford, Texas, began modestly in 2014 with one cow named Princess. Tom Branch, an international commercial airline pilot, and Tina Edwardson, a business entrepreneur, relocated from Idaho to Texas in 2011. Tina, a Montana native, became intrigued with the Wagyu breed. Drawing from her knowledge gained in the horse industry, she began to study the genetic side of the business. She worked to learn the genetic differences as they related to the consistency of the animals produced and the resulting beef products, and her passion for the Wagyu breed was born.
