In Japanese, ”Wa" means "Japanese" and "gyu" means "cow" or "beef," so the name Wagyu essentially means "Japanese beef". These spectacular cattle were originally draft cattle used in agriculture and were known for their incredible endurance. The Wagyu have more “marbling” (extra intra-muscular cells) which provide a stored energy source. Our mission is to provide the highest quality 100% full blood wagyu beef in the United States.
