In Japan, cattle breeds are divided into dairy cattle and Wagyu. All Wagyu cattle are indigenous to Japan and have been genetically improved for over 90 years. Wagyu are further divided into four breeds, one of which is Akaushi, the only free-grazing cattle found in Japan. Less than a dozen of these cattle were brought to the United States in 1994 by HeartBrand Ranch, located in Texas. Since then, the Texas herd has grown to 5,000. Because of the excellent working relationship between HeartBrand Ranch and the Japan Association of Akaushi, each member of the herd can have its lineage traced back 30 generations. Arrowhead Specialty Meats is one of the few companies that can offer restaurants this outstanding product.
