We’re the Cooper family—Zach, Diane, Beckett, Easton, Miles, and Landry—fondly known as “The Coop Troop.” Zach and Diane have been married for 18 years and share a passion for faith, family, and bold new ventures. Zach’s professional journey has been diverse and entrepreneurial, with experience ranging from farming and agricultural sales to real estate investing and athletic coaching! Always drive
n by curiosity and challenge, Zach’s latest farming endeavor has led him to launch The Hilltop and bring premium American Wagyu beef to your dinner table. Zach’s parents, Bob & Carla Cooper—third-generation farmers—have been raising American Wagyu cattle for over a decade. For years, Bob encouraged Zach to bring this exceptional beef directly to consumers. With a shared love for his dad’s American Wagyu and a desire to help you create melt-in-your-mouth dinnertime experiences, Zach and his family are excited and honored to share their family’s beef with you! The name “The Hilltop” holds deep sentimental value. In the 1970s, Zach’s grandparents, Charles and Irene Cooper, purchased a beautiful piece of land in north central Missouri and built their home there. They lovingly called it The Hilltop. Today, we honor their legacy and the memories made on that land by continuing the Cooper family tradition under the same name. We’re proud to share our heritage, our beef, and our journey with you.
