From Our Ranch to Your Table
For three decades, we've practiced regenerative grazing, the result? Soil that's richer, water that runs cleaner, and beef that's healthier for your family.
Three Generations. One Promise. Prime-Grade Wagyu Beef.
Welcome to Cypress River Ranch, where the Sanders family has been raising cattle the right way for over 30 years. Our Red Wagyu beef grades Prime - not because we get lucky, but because we've never compromised on quality, genetics, or land stewardship.

Meet the Sanders Family
Bob and Kimmie Sanders could have sold their 1,100-acre ranch and "gone to Tahiti" years ago. Instead, they chose to build something meaningful for the next generation. Today, three generations of Sanders work together on the land - son Dustin, daughter-in-law Heather, and three grandchildren who represent the future of this legacy.
"The cattle serve as the glue keeping our family together," Bob says. "We're not just raising beef - we're raising the next generation of stewards of this land."

General Questions
How is your beef different from grocery store wagyu?
Most "wagyu" at grocery stores is crossbred with minimal wagyu genetics. Our Red Wagyu (Akaushi) cattle are fullblood genetics crossed only with top of the line Red Angus cows. Plus, they're raised on regenerative pastures. Nearly every carcass grades Prime vs. the Choice or Select you typically find in stores.
How much freezer space do I need?
A whole beef (400 lbs.) needs about 20 cubic feet of freezer space. A half beef (200 lbs.) needs about 10 cubic feet. Our specialty boxes fit easily in most home freezers - the Sampler Box (25 lbs.) takes about 2.5 cubic feet.
Do you ship nationwide?
We focus on 1-2 day shipping zones to maintain quality: Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and parts of surrounding states. We ship once monthly on the first Monday/Tuesday of each month.
Can I visit the ranch?
Absolutely! We love showing people where their beef comes from. Contact us to schedule a tour - you'll see the cattle, learn about our regenerative practices, and there's always coffee on.
