Our Story
Developing High Quality Genetics in Angus & Wagyu
Our team has raised registered and commercial cattle in central Texas for 25+ years. In that time, we have experienced the hardships and rewards that characterize this profession, and have seen a tremendous shift in the industry. In response to the growing demand for premium cattle, we began to focus on Wagyu genetics.
We believe Wagyu is a tool to highlight or complement any ranching operation. Running R Cattle seeks to provide ranchers a source to seamlessly shop and compare genetics in a non-pressured environment.

Jennifer & Doak Dunkin
Owners
After watching the growing potential within the Wagyu cattle industry, Jennifer & Doak Dunkin began working towards the Prime Dream. Converting a background operation outside Cameron, TX to a Wagyu ranch was just a small step in a much larger goal to commercialize American Wagyu.
Saige Skalsky
Livestock Administrator
Saige joined the Running R Team in March of 2022 as Livestock Administrative Coordinator. Since then, she has become a major asset to the team with duties of maintaining all cattle and ranch records while also assisting chute-side for all cattle work being performed. Noting just one of her many talents, Saige is always prepared and willing to step in to provide a helping hand in any situation.
Laramie Cass

Since his start with Running R as Ranch Operations in September of 2020, Laramie has become an integral part of the Running R Team to ensure all operations run smoothly. His position specifically monitors the day-to-day routines at the ranch as well as cattle health and production. On a typical day, you can most likely find Laramie with boots on the ground, tending to the vast facility.
