We believe the best way to provide good care and nutrition to our family is to take pride in providing excellent animal care and nutrition to our cattle. From our ranches and farms to our processing partners, we are involved in every step of the process. There’s nothing fake or alternative about what we’re doing, we simply put quality and excellence first. Our cattle are grass fed, grain finished, and always hormone free. We offer 100% Nebraska born and raised American Wagyu beef.
AMERICANWAGYU
Our American Wagyu beef, also known as American Kobe Style Beef is a carefully selected hybrid of purebred Wagyu and Black Angus cattle breeds. The word “Wagyu” translates to “Japanese cow”, a breed which is genetically predisposed for their intense fat marbling. Our crossbreed yields meat that has a higher percentage of omega-3 compared to cattle more commonly found in the US. It’s a perfect marriage resulting in the best flavor and tenderness characteristics of both genetics.
HOW WE RAISE OUR BEEF
Our calves are born on pasture and supervised by veteran ranchers.
Calves graze with their mothers until weaning at 4-6 months.
Weaned calves graze on open pasture until 12-14 months.
Our grazing program includes permanent pasture and cover crop grazing.
Yearlings enter the feed yard and eat a diet of forages and steam flaked grains, never animal products.
We use pasture, open lots with shade, and covered barns in our system.
