Wagyu Beef FAQ — Your Questions Answered by Weise Farms
What is Wagyu beef?
Wagyu is a breed of cattle originally from Japan, prized for its extraordinary marbling — the fineness of low-melting fat running through the meat. That marbling is what makes Wagyu so tender and richer in flavor than any beef you’ll find at a grocery store.
Is Wagyu beef healthy?
Yes — Wagyu beef contains a higher concentration of monounsaturated fats, including Oleic acid. The low melting point of Wagyu fat is one reason many people find it easier to enjoy than conventional beef. At Weise Farms, our Wagyu is raised without hormones, antibiotics, or steroids, so what’s on your plate is clean, natural beef. Read more about it in our blog post

What is the difference between Pureblood Wagyu and 50% Wagyu?
Our Pureblood Wagyu carries elite Japanese Wagyu genetics — the highest marbling and the richest flavor. Our 50% Wagyu (F1) is half Wagyu, offering excellent marbling and tenderness at a lower price point. Learn more on our "How We Raise Our Wagyu page.
How much does a half-calf cost?
A deposit of $800–$1,000 reserves your half-calf, depending on which one you choose. We deduct the deposit from the final price, which is based on hanging weight after harvest. Our Pureblood Wagyu is $9.50 per pound hanging weight and our 50% Wagyu is $7.50 per pound. Standard processing is included.

How much freezer space do I need for a half-calf?
A good rule of thumb is roughly 30 pounds of packaged meat per cubic foot of freezer space. So a 14 cubic foot chest freezer holds around 420 pounds — more than enough for a half-calf plus other items. We believe the larger the freezer the better.
