Firegrass Wagyu is built on family, food, and curiosity.
The operation started small—just a handful of cows and a desire to produce better beef for their own table. What began as a hobby quickly turned into something more after experiencing Wagyu firsthand.
Their background:
What pushed them into Wagyu wasn’t hype—it was flavor.
After their first Wagyu experience (and a literal grease fire learning how to cook it), they were hooked.
From there:
Today, it’s still a family-run operation, with everyone involved—from farming to feeding to decision-making.
Firegrass Wagyu operates with a dual focus: F1 Cross Wagyu for consistency and accessibility, and Fullblood Wagyu for long-term genetic excellence.
Their F1 program (50% Wagyu) is finished for real-world eating—balanced marbling, strong beef flavor, and a more approachable experience for everyday consumers. These cattle consistently hit strong marbling levels (often around ~30% DMP), which puts them right in that “super prime” sweet spot.
At the same time, Firegrass is aggressively building a Fullblood herd (100% Wagyu genetics) through embryo programs and carefully selected bloodlines. The goal: produce cattle capable of reaching the highest levels of marbling while still functioning in American ranching systems.
What makes their program unique is that they’re not chasing one lane—they’re building both:
F1 for performance and eatability
Fullblood for long-term genetic ceiling
Firegrass is built around a “cows should be cows” philosophy.
Their herd spends roughly 300+ days per year on pasture or crop residue, rotating through:
This is a regenerative-minded grazing approach, focused on:

The goal isn’t shortcuts—it’s time, consistency, and building marbling the right way
Firegrass focuses heavily on maximizing the entire animal, not just premium steaks—pushing value into cuts like bavette, flat iron, and chuck.
As always: Know your rancher. Firegrass is one to know.
Firegrass stands out because they’re trying to answer a bigger question:
Can Fullblood Wagyu thrive in real American ranch systems without being babied?
Their approach:
They’re not just chasing marbling—they’re building:
On the beef side, their program delivers:
This is a serious program.
