Also beef is beef. A quality steak from wagyu is the same as quality from Holstein. I raised beef for 50 years and there is no such thing as one breed being superior to another in the taste of their meat. There are some that are butchered better, butchered at a more appropriate time in animal development, and some that are cooked better but they are still meat. Angus has spent huge amounts of money in marketing. But they are not superior to any other breed. Wagyu is famous for the ultra fat Kobe meat in Japan. They are just any old beef in the States. Some steak house that i’ve never heard of may be super successful at marketing their product, but outside of their facility it is just beef. I am glad that you’ve found beef that you like though and suggest you still to paying the $23.00 per pound.
