About Us
The main difference with us is that we use what we sell & we eat what we raise! We raise Wagyu Full Blood with some top Elite Genetics in the World. Also F1, F2 Commercial Crosses to butcher we are based in Northern Colorado. Dean and Donna have several full blood Wagyu Bulls and Cows they Cross on other Full Bloods for Seed Stock, as well as on Commercial Cows for F1 Crosses. We have raised our own beef for years and wanted to elevate the meat. Dean got into the Wagyu Full Bloods in 2017 to cross on commercial cows for F1's for meat production, starting with the purchase of " Vince". Dean and Donna purchased Shogun 7704 Full Blood Wagyu Bull (partnering with Don Brown & the Triangle B Wagyu Ranch). "Shogun" is way over Top 1% in "BFI" $ 645, Top 1% Marble Score, Self Replacing Index,
