What is Wagyu?
Wagyu refers to Japanese beef cattle. 'Wa' meaning Japanese and 'gyu' meaning cow. These cows have more intra-muscular fat cells (marbling) than other cow breeds. Since the first import of these cattle from Japan to the U.S in 1976, Wagyu has been a prized breed providing beef with tenderness and rich in taste. For producers, not only does Wagyu offer a superior eating experience, but they are also known for their ease of calving, docility, and thriving in many different climates. It can get real hot and real cold in Texas, and they can handle both.

“We have heard fat is bad, but Wagyu fat is good. Wagyu is intensely marbled with higher percentage of monounsaturated fats, Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, and is lower in cholesterol than other beef. Meaning, Wagyu is suitable to a well balanced and healthy diet.”
