Rural Voice - “Wa” means Japanese, “gyu” means cow

The Wagyu breed is Japan’s national treasure believes entrepreneur, Tim Prior, who is creating a fullblood herd at his Brussels farm, Grazing Meadows
The nightly ritual for working Wagyu cattle in Japan is massage, followed by dose of beer. This, it is said, is what creates the marbled meat this working breed is known for.
While Tim Prior has fed beer to his Wagyu steers as part of a marketing campaign, he has never massaged his cattle and yet his Grazing Meadows Wagyu cattle raised outside of Brussels, Ontario still produce meat so marbled, a prime rib steak sells in restaurants for over $150 a plate.
Recently, Donna and I had the opportunity to host some guests from Dubai and Ontario Corn Fed Beef. We had a chance to show off our operation and our fantastic Wagyu cattle. Later, with the help of chef Alex Lussier from Cowbell Kitchen, everyone enjoyed some delicious Wagyu. Thank you to everyone for providing us with this wonderful occasion.

Our amazing Wagyu beef has arrived and is now ready for purchase. To provide you with a wide range of choices to enjoy Wagyu, we are selling our Wagyu in a 20lb variety box. Some of the items included in each box are: RIB STEAKS, ROASTS, HAMBURGERS, WAGYU WEINERS and more. Contact Tim for pricing and availability.
