The point is, the fat in SRF briskets does not exhibit the much lower melting point that is a characteristic of the pure bred (and traditionally raised) Wagyu. In this respect, it is closer to a prime Angus brisket and the cooking method will need to account for that.

The fatty acid profile and the lower melting point are main reasons we cross breed and you do, in fact, get the lower melting point and fatty acids in our products. We feed our Wagyus on a similar, long-feeding process as those that are traditionally raised in Japan. They are fed up to 5 times longer than traditional cattle. And while we are not feeding sake and giving massages they are given special care for a very long time before processing.

Our company produces traditional cattle as well as American Wagyu and there is a significant difference. If you have any questions about our processes I'm more than happy to clear anything up. We work very hard to share the history of our company and our practices in an effort to best educate those looking to purchase our products.
