Stress-Free & Healthy Cows
At Miller Wagyu Ranch, our main focus is to produce the highest quality full blood wagyu beef for our customers. Our cows are kept stress-free, are fed the best grain and hay and are not given any unnecessary hormones or antibiotics.
Japanese Black
90% of wagyu raised in Japan are Japanese Black cows. This breed is known for their amazing marbling. Out of the four breeds of wagyu, Japanese Black have the highest beef marbling score (BMS), which makes them the ideal choice for our ranch.
Tajima Bloodline
The Tajima strain of Japanese Black are the only cows that are allowed to be considered Kobe beef in Japan. Having Japanese Black cows with this bloodline means the beef our ranch produces is genetically the same as Kobe beef. However, Japan requires Kobe beef to be raised only in the Hyogo prefecture with extremely strict specifications.
Miller Family
Our family is very excited to introduce Miller Wagyu Ranch, with the hope of producing some of the finest full blood wagyu beef in the United States.
Our Ranch
Our facility was originally built by Thomas Miller, with 50 Clydsale stalls and a 90 x 300 ft arena as a practice facility for his six-horse hitch and several more buildings. After several visits and a lot of help from our friend Pete Eshelman and his family, our facility was gutted and converted. Our family, along with several other dedicated friends, now operate and are in the process of developing our herd.
Our Promise
Having such a strong foundation, we strive to maintain the best nutrition and husbandry practices to help produce high-quality products. Every animal receives hands-on attention daily to assure a comfortable, stress-free environment. It is this TLC coupled with a perfected and confidential nutritional formula, free of hormones and antibiotics, that produces the bold yet delicate flavor.
With the attention and pride illustrated by everyone in our daily operations we hope to create a long term successful brand that produces the highest grade of full blood wagyu beef.
