Our 100% Wagyu Herd
We’d say there’s a certain “je ne sais quoi” to our Wagyu beef, but we know exactly what makes us different. And you can taste it. Our hand-picked herd of 100% pure black Wagyu cattle is pasture-raised, grass-fed, never given growth hormones, steroids, or unnecessary antibiotics, and treated like family. In house, we conduct the research on how to help them be their most nutritious while living happily and freely in an stress-free environment on our pastures in the grasslands of Luling, Texas.
A Short Guide to Wagyu
- Wagyu translates to "Japanese cow."
- Its marbling, or intramuscular fat, gives it a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth flavor.
- It's a heart-healthy steak, loaded with "good-fats" proven to lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol.
- It's considered healthier than other breeds like Angus because it's a complete protein that contains all essential amino acids along with other necessary minerals and nutrients.
- It contains oleic acid and conjugated linoleic acid, which have anti-carcinogenic properties, may help with maintaining a healthy weight and lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes and cancer.
