American Wagyu beef is produced by crossbreeding a full blood Wagyu with an Angus. American Wagyu cattle are fed for less time (around 400 days) and eat mostly corn and wheat. The meat has a different taste and texture and contains much less fat marbling than the Japanese Wagyu. It's also cheaper, running about $60 USD for an 8 ounce steak. Its production is regulated by the American Wagyu Association.
