About us
We are family owned and family operated. Our mission is to provide the best Prime Quality beef at a fair price with taste for all desires. We pride ourselves on working with smaller local Texas farms and ranchers who focus on raising their quality herds humanely.
At Eat Meat Butcher Shop Co, we will also offer exclusive options like American, Australian and Japanese Wagyu!
Wagyu (和牛 - pronounced /WAH-gyoo/) is a term that literally means "Japanese cow" and is the name given to cattle breeds development over centuries in Japan. Wagyu beef is known for its intense marbling and carries a well-deserved reputation for exquisite taste, texture and tenderness.
The world of cows in Japan can be traced by breed, bloodline, and even geography. Beginning in the Meiji Era, the Japanese recognized the value of Wagyu beef in the world! Seeking to preserve the purity of the bloodline, Japan banned the export of Wagyu DNA in 1997.
Marbling is the distribution of soft white intramuscular fats within the red meat. Generations of careful breeding and management of diet and exercise contribute to the unique marbling of Wagyu Beef. Wagyu is graded for its marbling on a scale of 1-12, with 12 being the highest achievable quality. At this level , the beef must be raised in Japan and achieve the highest possible rating by the Japanese Meat Grading Association. For reference, USDA Prime beef, the highest designation of quality in the United States, is equivalent to a 4 or 5 marbling score.
