Australian Wagyu

Australian Wagyu graded
How is Australian Wagyu graded?

Not all Wagyu is from Japan. Australian Wagyu is genetically linked to its Japanese cousins, but is leaner, and has a uniquely delicious flavor and tenderness. Renowned as the one of world's premier Wagyu countries, Australia has its own standards, feed, and grading scale, as well as climate and grasses. This all comes together to produce a complex luxury meat that is a delight with every bite.

Australian Wagyu Rating Scale
What is Australian Wagyu?

As with American Wagyu, Australian Wagyu has its own rating scale. Japanese Wagyu will have gradings such as A5, which is the highest, indicating it comes with an impressive BMS. Australian Wagyu uses the AUS-MEAT grading system, which ranges from 0 to 9. The closer to 9, the more mono-unsaturated fat will be marbled through the meat - creating an incredible, mouth-watering, but more subtle taste that many prefer to its Japanese counterpart.

The three types of Australian Wagyu

Australia has the second-largest Wagyu population in the world. You'll typically find three types of Australian Wagyu:

Fullblood
Fullblood

This is Wagyu cattle with fully traceable Japanese heritage. No crossbreeding.

Purebred

Crossbred
Crossbred

These Australian Wagyu cattle, sometimes called F1, are crossbred with other breeds but still hold 50% Wagyu genetics.

Each type is fed for varying amounts of time. Fullbloods are typically fed the longest and have the highest AUS-MEAT scores.
