The detail
Wagyu are Japanese cattle bred for extreme marbling, and their beef sells into a premium market. They grow slowly and need long, careful feeding to reach that grade, so they suit patient producers with a sales plan.
What to weigh
Wagyu take far longer to finish than British breeds, and the premium only arrives with the right feeding and a buyer who pays for it. Pedigree claims need DNA proof.
