September 2024 we will open up shares for wagyu influenced beef.
What does wagyu mean? Wagyu is a Japanese word that refers to all Japanese beef cattle. The word is made up of the characters "wa" which means "Japanese" and "gyu" which means "cow". These cattle were originally used as draft animals in agriculture and were selected for their physical endurance. This selection favored animals with more intra-muscular fat cells, or "marbling.”
It’s been a 4 year project, started by the guys flying to Texas in 2020 to select a fullblood Akaushi bull. We’ve hand selected the heifers which are bred. Upon weaning age the steer calves are put into our finished beef program. All of our steers are fed a ration which is formulated by a livestock nutritionist to ensure our calves get the right nutrients in every bite which we mix daily.
March 2024 we took our first finished steer to slaughter and the results haven’t disappointed for flavor and yield.
Make sure to select your size and reserve your share by putting down a deposit. Once a deposit is receive we will follow up with a cut sheet to instruct us how you’d like your beef cut.
