No, not exactly. According to the USDA, “Grass (Forage) Fed” means that grass and forage shall be the feed source consumed for the lifetime. Our cattle are pasture-raised meaning they are “Grass Fed,” however, they are grain finished meaning they are not completely grass fed throughout their lifetime.

No, the cattle are at least 50% wagyu to full blood. We concentrate more on grading with the goal of prime and highest marbling scores. This will ultmately lead the customer to receive the highest quality meat with added health benefits.
