About ElkHead Creek Ranch, LLC
We Raise Wagyu Steers on pristine river valley grasses using a rotational grazing method, This method is healthier for the steers as it allows the manure deposited to break down in between grazing cycles. It also allows break up soil without loss of protective organic layers. Why do we raise steers; Steers are specifically raised for beef. Castrated male cafes gain more weight than old cows or heifers. Buying beef from the supermarket there is no way to guarantee the quality of the beef. Our steers are processed locally as soon as they reach slaughter weight ensuring you receive the highest quality product. Why do we raise Wagyu? We raise Wagyu for a few reasons. For one they are a more gentle animals when compared to other breeds making them easier to work with. They also have a higher percentage of prime rated meat when compared to other breeds making them ideal for pasture growth on a diet of primarily grass making it possible to have them finished on pasture verses a feed lot. The Fat content of Wagyu is also unique in that it contains a higher percentage of Omega 3 Fatty acids. The fat content of Wagyu is also more interspersed within the meat (marbling) as opposed to thick strips,in confined areas. Our Beef has a Buttery taste that represents 1% of the total cattle market in the United states making it a unique dining experience. The Wagyu breed of cattle has the distinction of being the #1 marbling breed in the world. The intra-muscular marbling is high in oleic acid, which is found in olive oil, and has been shown to reduce risk factors for heart diseases. Wagyu marbling contains mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and lower saturated fatty acids (SFA). Wagyu afansa think of MUFA as the "good fat" that matched with salt and pepper are perfect seasonings to draw out aromatic umami flavors and juiciness.
