Frequently Asked
Questions
Wagyu is the Japanese word for Japanese cow. ‘Wa’ means Japanese and ‘gyu’ means cow. The Wagyu breed were originally used as draft animals in agriculture due to their physical endurance. Wagyu cattle can be red or black. Our herd consists mainly of the red, or Akaushi, breed but we have introduced black Wagyu over the last two years. It has become more common to hear “American Wagyu” to identify what is raised domestically, in comparison to imported beef from Japan. Our herd was started the same way most American Wagyu herds are, with the crossing of traditional beef cattle with a purebred Wagyu.
Wagyu beef has a greater amount of intramuscular fat, or marbling, than other breeds of cattle. Wagyu beef also has a finer texture, resulting in a more flavorful eating experience.
Health experts have reported that the benefits of eating Wagyu beef over other beef, results in higher levels of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). Wagyu beef contains the highest amount of CLA per gram of any food due to the higher linoleic acid levels. In fact, it has 30% more CLA than other breeds. Foods that are high in naturally occurring CLA have fewer negative health effects.
Our Wagyu undergo a rigorous testing process by the USDA. Only USDA-certified Wagyu can have the word “Wagyu” on the label.
No. We take pride in our breeding operation and cattle lineage, and keep all of our cattle on the ranch from birth to finish. We only sell meat.
Peeler Farms takes great pride and care in the handling of all livestock and animals. No hot shots or electric cattle prods are used on the animals. They have implemented the use of flags to move cattle or startle them into moving forward.
The majority of the time, the cattle are worked with horses or on foot. The cowboys know that the cattle are more comfortable with the horses which means less stress on the cattle and less injury. Sometimes, the cattle are checked by a cowboy only. He has been taught the proper way to walk through the herd to keep them quiet and low stress and how to identify any problems.
We will treat the animal with antibiotics, of course, but it will be removed from the herd and will never be sold as Peeler Farms meat.
Our cattle graze outside on our 2,000-acre farm, eating rye grass in the winter and coastal grass in the summer. We also serve them locally produced vegetarian grain, locally produced by South Texas farmers, and never laced with antibiotics or hormones.
In the past, we’ve raised everything from poultry to water buffalo to lamb. We’ve even sold farm-fresh bacon and eggs! Although our current focus is on our succulent Wagyu beef, we do occasionally offer other seasonal products.
The best way to thaw a steak is in the refrigerator. The meat will stay at a constant, cold temperature while it defrosts. This keeps it at a safe temperature, and you won’t run the risk of becoming ill from bad bacteria.
