 Ancient origins
During the second century A.D., a legendary breed of cattle - called Wagyu - were brought from their home on the Asian mainland to a new life in Japan. The breed was refined in the Kobe region of Japan over hundreds of generations and has become famous around the world for its intense flavor and supreme tenderness.This ancient breed from Japan is the foundation for the elite quality of Snake River Farms american style kobe beef. Japanese Wagyu are often crossed with dairy cattle in Japan. Snake River Farms crosses its premiere Japanese Wagyu cattle with premium American Black Angus to create exceptional american style kobe beef. The way nature intendedTo produce the world's most exquisite beef, Snake River Farms has adopted many aspects of the heritage-steeped Japanese feeding method, including a slow-paced, all-natural production method. Our cattle are fed a natural diet of barley, golden wheat straw, alfalfa hay, and idaho potatoes. We never cut corners by using any growth promoting hormones or animal by-products in our feed. Our American Kobe Beef cattle grow slowly and naturally, a process that can take up to four times as long as traditional U.S. feeding production that focuses on efficiency over quality.Snake River Farms cattle are raised in a comfortable environment along the high plain of the Snake River eliminating the need for certain traditional Japanese techniques like massage and beer-feeding that were historically performed due to confinement. Experience pure beefThe beauty of Snake River Farms american style kobe beef is its simplicity. It has been naturally raised from the finest stock in the best environments for an intense and succulent beef flavor to be savored and enjoyed. This delicious beef offers positive nutritional benefits as well. Wagyu cattle are genetically predisposed to a higher percentage of unsaturated fat - more than any other breed.Higher than prime"Prime," the highest U.S.D.A. grade for beef, cannot define the quality of Snake River Farms. To accurately grade our product, we use a combination of Japanese and U.S. grading systems. The Japanese rating system includes several marbling scores higher than U.S.D.A. Prime. Meeting Japan's exclusive marbling requirements means that Snake River Farms american style kobe beef far exceeds the quality of all other U.S. beef brands. This level of distinction is possible because Snake River Farms uses only the finest stock and carefully manages every step of the production process from start to finish.The butter knife beef tmWhen you cut into a Prime steak, you expect it to be tender, but Snake River Farms american style kobe beef can be cut with a butter knife.
