With a Wagyu bull you are introducing your cow to the highest marbling breed of cattle in the world.   A "Prime" Wagyu/Angus steak at top steak restaurants is sold for $50+ for a 8 oz. NY Strip.

Wagyu meat is striking because of its wonderful marbling which results in a never-before-experienced succulence that sends the taste buds reeling. The fat in the meat has more monounsaturated fats and melts at room temperature which makes Wagyu beef suitable as part of a lower-cholesterol diet.

The high degree of marbling adds an extraordinary depth of flavor which makes Wangus beef a culinary delicacy.

Throughout the year we will be selling "Young Beef" (10 to 14 Months Old) cows/steers.  All grass feed, naturally raised here on our pastures.  You can buy the whole steer or 1/4 of a steer, what ever your freezer can hold.

Natural Young Beef comes from yearlings that weigh about 600 to 650 pounds as compared to Industrial feedlot steers which weigh about 1200 pounds.

These cattle are raised to about 350 pounds on their mother's milk.  Then at eight months old they are weaned and put on to pastures of grass and clover where they graze as they are rotated through the pastures.  Because they are younger and free-range, the beef is generally leaner than store bought beef.

WHOLE STEER COST: $1.50 per pound of live animal

1/2 OR 1/4 INTEREST STEER COST:$1.60 per pound of live animal (split it with your neighbor or we will match you with other partial owners)

Other expenses a new owner can expect:

                             Transportation Butcher  = $35

                             Butcher Expenses = $250 estimated

                             Shipping is determined by your location

We estimate that your final cost will be $3.75 to $4.75 per pound of grass feed natural young beef.  The shipping costs will vary based on your location.

You do not need to own a ranch to own cattle, board your family's cattle with Grand View Pastures.

We have pregnant Angus cows for sale.   These cows were bred with a Full Blooded Wagyu bull.

You will have your first calve, a Wagyu/Angus crossbreed (WANGUS), in the spring of 2010 then one born every spring.  Then in three years and for 6 or more years you will harvest over 400 lbs of high quality "WANGUS" beef.  

Soon your family will be able to start enjoying over 400 pounds of naturally pasture raised beef each year.
