Snake River Farms American Wagyu briskets are the standard for competitive barbecue teams gunning to be Grand Champion at all the top BBQ events. Our beautifully marbled briskets are hand selected and carefully cut to the latest NAMP guidelines. American Wagyu beef raised in the Northwest’s mild climate produces briskets with naturally rich marbling and superior taste. You can rely on Snake River Farms briskets for consistency, outstanding flavor and exceptional juiciness. Our briskets are sorted in five weight ranges so you can choose the best size for your smoker and personal preferences.
Briskets are shipped frozen. Be sure to allow at least 4 days to thaw.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice. Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features an abundant amount of marbling.
Snake River Farms produces beef that measures above the USDA scores. To grade these higher levels of marbling and quality, we utilize the 12-point BMS (Beef Marbling Score or Beef Marbling Standard) from the Japanese Meat Grading Association (JMGA). SRF Black Label ™ and SRF Gold Label ™ both score above USDA Prime.
SRF Black Label ™ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime graded beef.
SRF Gold Label™ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of marbling we offer.
This full brisket is identified as a 120 Beef Brisket, Deckle-Off, Boneless by the North American Meat Processors Association (NAMP). This is made up of the flat ordeep pectoralmuscle (NAMP 120A) and the point orsuperficial pectoralmuscle (NAMP 120B. The deckle, the hard fat and intercostal meat on the inside surface of the brisket, is removed. This is frequently referred to as a full packer brisket.
Each animal produces two briskets, one from each side of the chest area. Despite the barbecue mythology, there is no discernible difference between the right and left briskets.
