North American Wagyu: Texas and the Midwest
We partner with top-tier ranchers in Texas and the Midwest, regions renowned for producing premium American Wagyu. These areas combine ideal climates with sustainable practices, allowing growers to crossbreed traditional Japanese Wagyu with high-quality Angus cattle. The result is a richly marbled beef with intense flavor and tenderness that rivals traditional Japanese Wagyu while incorporating bold, local beef characteristics.
- Key Features:
- Crossbreeding ensures balanced marbling and flavor.
- Raised on lush pastures with grain-finishing for added richness.
- Producers follow humane and eco-conscious practices, ensuring both animal welfare and environmental responsibility.

Wagyu: Sourced from Australia
We proudly feature from Australia, known for its elite marble scores and consistency. Sourced from premier Australian farms, Wagyu combines Japanese genetics with Australia’s vast grasslands and grain-finishing techniques, delivering marbled cuts that showcase a buttery texture with nutty undertones.
-Why Australian Wagyu Stands Out:
- Southern Lights achieves marble scores of 6+, meeting stringent global standards.
- The cattle are raised with meticulous care, enjoying expansive pastures before being grain-finished for 300-400 days, ensuring superior fat integration.
- Australia’s advanced livestock practices and biosecurity measures result in safe, traceable, and ethically raised beef.

Our selection includes Miyazaki Wagyu, widely regarded as one of the finest Wagyu varieties in the world. Raised in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, this beef has won numerous awards for its unparalleled marbling, deep umami flavor, and silk-like mouthfeel. The cattle are treated with the utmost care, receiving individualized attention throughout their life to ensure they meet the A5 grading standard, the highest possible rating for Wagyu beef.
- Hallmarks of Miyazaki Wagyu:
- Award-winning beef with A5 marbling scores, resulting in exceptional flavor and texture.
- Cattle are fed a carefully controlled diet of grains and grasses, with farmers monitoring every detail of their well-being.
