[QUOTE="Peace, post: 1765289, member: 41443"] I'm sure people are buying it thinking it's Kobe, which it isn't as Japan has very strict export laws over it. It is probably crosses, just like Dave posted above. All I'm really trying to say is it's marketed very well, people are interested and spending their money on it, and the food or restaurant suppliers are supplying it as Waygu and the restaurants are advertising it as such. Now, I don't know if there are any scheisters adding kidney fat and double grinding other breeds to make it smoother, or triple grinding or whatever other scam they can run...that I just don't know. What I do know is that there are sales where those, as Murray states, noassatall bulls that are Waygu are sold for large amounts of money and bred to cows in the US. There probably are some measures taken place at the ethical slaughter houses to insure it's Waygu, but where there is easy money to be made you'll find scammers. I'm sure the non-specific info is on purpose, and it's probably because they don't really know for sure either. [/QUOTE]
