Question: is wagyu beef raised in the us?
Answer: Rather, it is probably made from Wagyu cattle bred and raised in the U.S. The first Wagyu cattle were brought to the U.S. from Japan in the 1970s. More were imported in the 1990s. From those original imports, there are now tens of thousands of Wagyu cattle raised on 150 or so ranches that specialize in Wagyu.
