What is Wagyu?
History of Wagyu
Wagyu, which translates to “Japanese cow,” is a breed of cattle that originated in Japan. With a rich history and unique characteristics, Wagyu has become a highly sought-after and prized breed of cattle around the world.
During the Edo period (1603-1867), cattle were considered a valuable asset and were used for labor and as a source of fertilizer. In the late 1800s, Japan began to modernize its agricultural practices, which led to a decline in cattle use for labor. This shift allowed farmers to focus on improving the quality of their cattle, leading to the development of the Wagyu breed.
Ultimate Luxury Beef
Wagyu beef is known for its rich marbling, tender texture, and exquisite flavor, making it one of the most sought-after types of beef in the world. However, what many people may not know is true is that 100% full-blood Wagyu cows are incredibly rare in the United States. In 1976 four full-blood Wagyu bulls were brought to America where American farmers began cross-breeding them with foreign cattle. It wasn't until 1993 that full-blood females were then imported to create Full-blood wagyu breeding in the USA. After 1997 Japan banned the exportation of live cattle and declared it a national treasure. At our farm, we specialize In providing our own 100% full-blood wagyu Beef.
Health Benefits
Wagyu beef is known for its marbling, which refers to the intramuscular fat that is evenly distributed throughout the meat. This marbling not only adds flavor and tenderness to the beef but also has health benefits.
One of the main health benefits of Wagyu beef is its high concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). These are considered “healthy” fats. Wagyu beef also contains a higher percentage of omega-3 fatty acids than other beef types. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that the human body can not produce itself.
