AMERICAN WAGYU BEEF | THE BETTER BEEF
At Vander Farmers, we believe that beef should be more than just beef. It should be an experience — rich in flavor, ethically raised, and better for your health. That's why we specialize in American Wagyu Beef — a breed renowned for its intense marbling, unmatched taste, and nutritional superiority over conventional beef.

Raised Right. Raised Slow.
Unlike conventional commodity beef, our Wagyu cattle are raised differently. We take our time. We raise our cattle with care, without shortcuts, and without compromising the integrity of what beef should be. No unnecessary antibiotics. No added hormones. Just real, slow-grown, premium beef — the way nature intended.

Why Raised Slow Matters?
Our F1 American Wagyu cattle are ready to harvest after 24–30 months, compared to only 14–20 months for conventional cattle. This extra time allows the intramuscular fat (marbling) to develop fully, resulting in:
Better Beef means higher quality; Tenderness and juiciness you simply can't achieve with rushed production
Better Taste means Rich, buttery flavor that melts in your mouth
Better For You means increased health benefits; Higher levels of heart healthy fats, omega-3 fatty acides and other essential nutrients
THE HEALTH DIFFERENCE
American Wagyu Beef is healthier than traditional beef because of its fat profile:
- Higher in Heart-Healthy MUFAs (similar to olive oil)
- Lower in saturated fat compared to conventional grain-fed beef
- Richer in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids
- No Antibiotics. No Added Hormones.
This means you’re not just getting better beef; you’re getting beef that's better for your body.

LET'S TALK ABOUT MARBLING
Wagyu beef has small, finely interspersed specks of fat layered throughout it. When prepared correctly, the marbling gives superior flavors and unparalleled juiciness to wagyu. Research from Pennsylvania State University shows that wagyu meat can actually help reduce cholesterol levels with marbling having the highest percentage of mono-unsaturated fat of any protein. In conclusion, eating a healthy amount of wagyu helps improve heart health.
