Why Wagyu?

Why’d we choose to raise Wagyu, you might ask? Well, we came across the breed purely by accident when we visited a ranch in Rowe, NM to take a look at some black Angus but we were distracted and intrigued by the rancher’s Wagyu herd. We went home, did some investigating and we learned about the breed’s history and its genetic predisposition for high quality, healthy beef and we were sold on Wagyu! We’ve built our herd from some of the best genetics in the nation which we acquired from two premier ranches in the region (one located in Golden N.M. and the other located in Colorado).

We have had several requests for F1 feeder calves so we introduced a few black Angus cows from our family’s ranch in Texas. F1 calves produce high quality beef as well with a little more marbling than regular Angus cattle.

A few good reasons to raise Wagyu:

• Cattle are extremely docile and super good grazers

• Ease of birthing (due to low birth weight) and the calves are hardy and quick to nurse

• Produces healthy, above prime beef as a genetic predisposition which is naturally heavily marbled and super tender

  • Studies from several universities show Wagyu beef to be higher in healthy Omega 3A and Omega 6 fatty acids
