[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1765206, member: 42463"] Not a fan of wagyu... From what I've been able to find out, "wa" means "Japanese"... and, "gyu" means "cattle". So anything that comes from Japan, any breed, can be called wagyu. There are something like six breeds of cattle from Japan. Black, brown, polled, shorthorn, kuchinoshima, and mishima. There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on the internet. I doubt all Japanese cattle will carry the hyper-marbling genes. But then I can't seem to find much information that is attributed to breed specific marbling. All I find is that "Kobe" beef is high percentage fat and exceptionally well marbled... but no breed specified. All I know is that there seems to be a lot of hype lately and not much delivery. I suspect the hype is selling poor cattle much like people have been sold ostriches, rhea, miniature pigs/cows/horses, llama, and alpaca. Many promises of high returns without any real substance to the claims. Correct me if I'm wrong... but I'll stick with cattle that have meat on them. [/QUOTE]
