[QUOTE="Ridgetop, post: 1697126, member: 38751"] I think Wagyu beef originated in Japan. In Japan 35 years ago a chicken went for $25/lb. Cheapest regular beef went for $100/lb. We had a Japanese high school exchange student at the time and she was astonished that our meat was so cheap and that we ate meat every day. Japan has no pasture for cattle so these "Wagyu" cattle were raised in barns, fed special rice based diets, and massaged daily. This was part of the mystique about Wagyu beef. Supposedly the massaging distributed the fat more evenly and made the beef more tender. I don't think they started as a specific breed, just beef cattle to start. Beer contains a lot of carbs so feeding mash soaked in beer would make sense to add weight. What are Wagyu cattle now? What breeds make up the genetics? [/QUOTE]
