I'm not sure about Wagyu but after reading this article I think I'm going to try Wagyu. It is going to have to be a special occasion and after some research. I do like steak. This steak actually sounds healthy.

I'll take a prime NY steak anytime if it is prepared correctly. For a steak as good as any just visit Burns in Tampa. Wagyu is not much more than a put on for more money. Want to try something better than any steak mentioned, try Sturgon, the best tasting thing known to man. Problem, it is seasonal. The best is from Lake Michigan, fresh water vs. salt water, however, their both better than any steak from any place on earth.

Grass-fed organic beef from a small supplier has the same health benefits... I can buy an entire side, cut into steaks, roasts, ribs, etc. for about $3.00/lb. US. And the meat is just as good, for 1/10th the price.

Being a Texan, how can anyone waste hard earned money on this type of beef when you can buy great angus tenderloin for around $10 a pound and love every bite of it. Please come to Cowtown "Fort Worth" and give it a try. you wont go back!!!!!

This story is incomplete. Very uninformative story on these cows which is being "spoon fed" to us. The average person can google this and write this much on their own. How about actually answering some real questions on this story. What are these cows fed as opposed to what factory farms feed cows? What exactly does it mean that cows must be 50% Wagyu? Do the farmers who raise these cows also get subsidized by our government like the factory farms? How big of an industry dollar-wise is this? Does the raising of these cows help our economy? What's the difference between these cows and so-called "organic" cows? What is environmental impact of raising these and other cows for slaughter? Just a few of the questions that were left unanswered.

Lets get real! Why do the people here in this country keep falling for these dumb gimmicks and hype. People please wake up. This is why gas is so high. This is why most people can't buy a house now. We keep letting advertisers sale us anything at a higher price. Then we think that we have done something special .Please don't think that I'm saying this because I am poor. I have plenty of money, and I didnt get it by being dumb enough to pay $120.00 for a steak! If you just want to give your money away. I have a bridge in Brooklin that I can sale to you real cheap!

It really is as good as they say and it is as expensive as they say. There is a ranch just east of Dallas, TX that raises this style beef, and they have a restaurant. I tried it there, at a bit of a price break, and it is dangerously good. I must say though that a good tenderloin is a fine subsititute. But if you want to splurge, I say go for it!!

I raise grass fed Angus and they have the same characteristic as the Wagyu for a lot less. Corn fed beef is putting on a high percentage of fat and the mixture of fats is all wrong. Find some grass fed and you will not want any other kind.

For that price you could buy a steer get it slaughtered and sell what you don't eat and probably make a profit. This is outrageous! I still think people are crazy for paying $20 or more for a T-Bone steak.

No way Jose! Give me a break! No matter how good is that beef, it's the same meat you're going to flush in the toilet. So if the cows get a massage, etc.... I guess we can apply this to the chicken, pig and so fort and so on to enable the meat to have a great taste.! ...Good luck!
