At Artisan Wagyu we enjoy a exceptional reputation even though we are not located in the "Hyogo" prefecture (home of the famed Kobe beef) in Japan. This would not amount to much, and could not be sustained, if not backed by the extreme quality of our Full-blood Wagyu Cattle. The power of key foundation genetics and traditional Japanese breeding is part of Artisan Cattle's Wagyu heritage. They are an asset that is both priceless and irreplaceable.
Therefore, Artisan Cattle exercises stringent control over every minute detail of our breeding and care of Wagyu cattle. In each of the elements of their lives, it is the Wagyu that speaks. Each Wagyu must do right by the breed. In this area as well, there is absolutely no room for compromise.
As vintners have become aware of the characteristics of individual varieties of wine grapes, the same holds true with Wagyu characteristics that is unique to each. The thoughtful matings of these exceptional pairings result in extraordinary high performance Wagyu cattle.
Traditional Full-blood Japanese Tajima, Kedaka and Shimane Wagyu cattle bred in America that's the Artisan Wagyu Cattle way.
