Who They Are
Grazing Meadows Wagyu is a family-run farm located in Huron East, Ontario. It’s operated by Tim and Donna Prior, along with their family, who have lived and worked on their land for decades. The Priors took ownership of the 100-acre farm in the 1990s and gradually built it into a recognized grazing and Wagyu cattle operation. Tim wasn’t born into farming but discovered his passion through practical experience and agricultural education, eventually making the farm his life’s work
What They Do and what makes them special
They focus on breeding and raising purebred Wagyu—a Japanese beef cattle breed prized for intense marbling and tenderness. Their herd includes registered animals with strong genetic lines. Cattle are primarily pasture-raised on lush Ontario grass during spring, summer, and fall. In winter, they are fed hay and minimal grain to maintain a natural diet. Tim and Donna use controlled rotational grazing principles, moving cattle across paddocks to promote soil health, optimize forage use, and enhance pasture productivity. The farm also serves as a demo site for effective rotational grazing and pasture management techniques. The Priors host annual pasture “Walk and Talk” events for farmers interested in learning grazing strategies and equipment.
