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 fat cells, or “marbling,” (extra intra-muscular fat cells) which provide a stored energy source. Wagyu is a horned breed and the cattle are black or red. Our mission is to provide the highest quality100% full bloodwagyu beef in the United States.
