Beef

Akaushi/Angus Waygu

When it comes to beef, our palate and our heart lies with one breed that has come to be our Signature line for over a decade! Akaushi beef is near and dear to us because the taste is so consistently juicy and delicious. We are proud to feature the Akaushi in its pure form, as well as crossed with one of America’s best lines of Angus. The pure Akaushi is buttery and tender while the Wagyu with Angus is more toothsome and sturdy — but both demonstrate the delicious flavor inherent in Akaushi beef, considered to be one of the most marbled breeds in the world.

The Japanese Association of Akaushi was founded in 1944 with the goal of researching breeding techniques to produce the best tasting beef in the world. This data has been used in the selection of every Akaushi dam and sire over the last half-century. Hard work, coupled with the discerning palates of Japanese consumers, has led the Association to accomplish its mission!

Through a loophole in the Trade Act of 1994, three bulls and eight Akaushi cows were able to leave Japan in a custom equipped Boeing 747 for the Texas heartland where they are still treated like a treasure to this day. Our Akaushi are sourced by HeartBrand Ranch, the very same family of farms that first brought the breed to the States.

Akaushi beef has a high ratio of Monounsaturated fat, Oleic Acid, and Conjugated Linoleic acid, all the elements that help to fight LDL. Akaushi Beef has the lowest cholesterol of almost any meat sold in the USA, according to studies conducted by Texas A&M, Penn State, and the Journal of the American Heart Association. Our Akaushi are sourced by HeartBrand Ranch, the very same family of farms that first brought the breed to the States.
