The Japanese word "Wagyu" literally translates to "Japanese Cow." The USDA states that in order for beef products in the USA to be labelled Wagyu, it must contain at least 47% Wagyu genetics certified by DNA typing through the American Wagyu Association. Furthermore, in order for cattle to be registered "Full-Blood" they must be certified by the registry as 100% Japanese genetics by way of DNA testing. NSW's Wagyu herd is comprised mostly of cattle ranging from a minimum of 50% to fullblood and are listed as such in our catalog. We occasionally offer Conventional Beef under our processors label. Our value priced conventional beef is raised and fed in the same way as the rest of our herd, but is not AWA certified or contains no Wagyu genetics, and will always be labeled as such.

While our beef is pasture raised and has free-choice access to grasses and hay year round, it is also grain finished with a high-quality diet of natural proteins and grains such as sweet feed and corn. Our cows are never fed anything containing synthetic proteins, are never given hormones and are only administered antibiotics in the rare event one of our cows requires veterinary supervision, our cows are never fed antibiotics as a practice. Our herd is small and we do not use concentrated animal feeding operations.
