Explore the Cuts & Customization
We provide an array of options to create your ultimate Wagyu experience. Each whole cow can be broken down into essential sections, with choices at every step:
Rib Section
Steaks: Bone-In Ribeye, Cowboy Rib Steak, or Boneless Ribeye (boneless option includes back ribs)
Short Ribs: Dino Plate Short Ribs or Korean-Style Short Ribs
Additional Cuts: Top-of-the-Rib Lifter Meat, Beef Belly (optional swap for ground beef)
Chuck Section
Roast vs. Steaks: Choose a Minute Roast or Flat Iron Steaks, Shoulder (Silver Tip/Quad Heart) Roast or Shoulder Steaks, plus options like Denver Steaks or Under Blade Roast.
Premium Trimmings: Cutting into steaks yields premium kebab/yakitori cubes for added versatility.
Petite Tender & Pepper Steak: Further enhance your selection with delicate Teres Major or pepper steak from the shoulder.
Brisket & Beyond
Brisket Options: Whole brisket or first/second cut.
Offal & Specialty Cuts (By Request): Tongue, Liver, Heart, Sweetbreads, Cheeks, Oxtail, and Marrow Bones—these unique items let you experience true nose-to-tail enjoyment.
Fat & Bones: Add marrow or neck bones for rich broths, or beef fat for charcuterie and culinary projects.
Ground Beef & Patties
Prefer fewer ground items? Trade them out for more of your favorite steaks or roasts. Our flexible “bundle value” approach ensures you only pay for what truly excites your palate.
Offal: The Exclusive Advantage
Offal items like liver, heart, and sweetbreads are rarely available à la carte. By choosing a Whole Cow, you gain access to these nutrient-rich, flavor-packed delicacies. They add extra pounds of product and effectively reduce your overall cost per pound. Customize your offal selection—or opt out if it’s not for you.

What about cooking tips or recipe suggestions?
We’re happy to provide guidance, and our website’s chatbot is a great resource. From grilling the perfect ribeye to braising cheeks, we’ll point you to the right techniques.
What do you mean by "Half Cow" or "Whole Cow"?
We offer a unique package where you can purchase a ‘half cow,’ and in adherence to Kosher guidelines, this consists solely of the forequarter. This allows us to provide high-quality, Kosher-certified beef in a package that offers diverse and premium cuts.
What cuts are included in the forequarter?
The forequarter includes cuts like the chuck, brisket, rib, and plate. These cuts are perfect for grilling, braising, and other cooking methods, offering you a range of culinary options.
How is the meat delivered?
Your forequarter beef package will be carefully prepared and vacuum-sealed to ensure maximum freshness. It is then shipped directly to your door.
What is the lead time for receiving my forequarter beef package?
Typically, the lead time for receiving your package is 1-2 weeks. This timeline allows us to coordinate with our butchering schedule to ensure that you receive the freshest, Kosher-certified cuts. Please note that delivery times may vary based on our scheduling and availability.
What makes Wagyu Beef special?
Wagyu Beef is renowned for its rich, buttery flavor and tender texture, thanks to the unique marbling of the meat. This marbling also gives Wagyu Beef its health benefits – it’s high in monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids. At Holy Wagyu, our beef is sourced from cattle that are raised humanely and without the use of hormones, additives, or antibiotics, delivering a superior and healthier dining experience.
How is the beef at Holy Wagyu raised and processed?

What is the difference between Fullblood and F1 American Wagyu Beef?
Fullblood American Wagyu Beef comes from cattle that are 100% genetically Wagyu, offering an unparalleled richness in flavor, marbling, and tenderness. F1 American Wagyu Beef, on the other hand, is a cross between Wagyu and Angus cattle, offering a perfect blend of intense marbling and robust beef flavor. Both options promise a luxurious dining experience.
Can I customize my Butcher's Box?
Currently, our Butcher’s Boxes are pre-selected to offer a range of our finest products. However, you are free to add individual items to your cart if you wish to further personalize your order.
How should I cook my Wagyu beef to maximize flavor?
The cooking method varies depending on the cut. Generally, high-marbling cuts like Ribeye and Flat Iron Steak are best cooked with high-heat methods like grilling or pan-searing, while leaner cuts like Shoulder Steak benefit from slow-cooking methods like braising. We include a detailed guide with every order to help you cook your Wagyu beef to perfection.
What does it mean when beef is labeled as Kosher?
Kosher beef complies with strict Jewish dietary laws. These laws dictate everything from the type of cattle that can be consumed to how the animal is slaughtered and processed. All of our Kosher beef is Glatt Kosher and Star-K Certified, ensuring the highest level of kosher compliance.
What is American Wagyu?
American Wagyu refers to cattle that are crossbred between Japanese Wagyu and American Angus or other American beef breeds. The result is beef that combines the exceptional marbling of Wagyu genetics with the more robust muscle structure of American breeds. This makes American Wagyu ideal for a variety of cuts and cooking methods.
Why is it called Wagyu if it's not from Japan?
The term “Wagyu” simply means “Japanese cow” and refers to several breeds of Japanese cattle known for their unique marbling. American Wagyu is produced using these Wagyu genetics but is bred and raised in the United States, often in combination with American beef breeds like Angus. Therefore, while it’s not Japanese, it’s called Wagyu to indicate the type of genetics that contribute to its premium quality.
Exceptional Quality, Unforgettable Flavor: American Wagyu Beef
At Holy Wagyu, we believe in the humane treatment of our cattle and uphold the highest standards at each step, from the pasture to your plate. We're not just selling you a product; we're inviting you to be a part of our tradition that values quality, ethical practices, and above all, an exceptional dining experience.
