Centered around a family-owned farm in the lush, northeast Georgia mountains, Godfrey Wagyu Ranch is committed to raising superlative, disorder-free Wagyu cattle and maintaining the genetics that make this breed so special. A member of the American Wagyu Association, we represent one of the few dedicated, registered full-blood Wagyu cattle farms in the United States and take our craft – and our customers – seriously.
There is one inarguable fact: Wagyu simply produces quality that we can stand behind – from beef to cattle. The genetic predisposition of this breed leads to a higher portion of intramuscular fat, one that creates an exquisite marbling that cannot be found in any other beef. This marbling improves flavor, tenderness, and juiciness, making for an exquisite dining experience. Meanwhile the breed offers high fertility rates and is amongst the easiest to raise.
When that intramuscular fat – the marbling that you see – melts during the cooking process, it creates a rich, buttery flavor unrivalled in beef. It also makes Wagyu meat moister and more tender than other breeds. In fact, Wagyu offers a 1-10 tenderness scale to rate the quality of beef.
For breeders, Wagyu also offers advantages. In fact, most Wagyu cows cycle before 12 months of age. Bulls can also service 50% more females than most other breeds.
Wagyu cattle are a famously gentle and peaceful breed, making them extraordinarily easy to raise and handle.
