Strube Ranch briskets

Yes...SLIGHT oversight. Wagyu isn't for everyone. Some love it, some don't. And since I engaged YOU, let me also enlighten you. I won't discuss what other Wagyu ranches produce, because I don't throw unverified statements around. In fact, some of our fellow producers raise and market fabulous beef. I DO know what Strube Ranch produces. We produce Wagyu beef that is either full blood (100%) Wagyu or 3/4 Wagyu 1/4 Angus (75%). The Wagyu marbling gene is dominant. We believe that domestic Wagyu should either be called "Wagyu" or "Kobe-Style Wagyu". The term "Kobe Beef" should only apply to Wagyu cattle born and raised in the Kobe prefecture of Japan We are not organic and make no claims that we are. Our beef is All-Natural meaning it is minimally processed and the cattle are never administered antibiotics or hormones.
 
I feel like I've highjacked this thread. I doubt my debate with a fellow Texan is the kind of info that Pappy Q was looking for. For some reason I felt the need to defend myself. I want anyone to feel free to ask questions concerning our beef or ranch. I'm not a regular here but welcome emails info@struberanch.com. And thanks BP, I appreciate your fire and passion for good products from family owned and operated American businesses. You guys talk briskets....we gotta go deliver a baby calf. Heifer calving duty tonight.

So the feed the cows receive whether it be grains, corn, wheat or alfalfa there Is a guaranteed that the seeds weren't ever chemically coated or genetically modified, the types of feed were never treated with pesticides including the 4 mentioned above? I notice that you say they are never administered, but that's a term that can be used very loosely, especially since everyone is chasing a buck these days. actually a reserve note thats a legal tender for debt, so your payin for debt with debt, makes alot of sense! Since wagyu means technically Japanese cow which there is a lot of different types, but mainly Japanese black. American "style" wagyu starts at no higher than 50% wagyu since they have been crossbred with angus. From there on, the bloodline gets watered down since importation was banned up until 2012 for a long time. Again, I ain't tryin to pee on no shoes, just trying to understand. I trust everyone, but I also verify
 
One last thing....No Big Poppa isn't ripping off the BBQ public. I'm ashamed to say what he actually makes per brisket. I can only say that obviously he isn't in it for the money. He's either crazy or just passionate about products he believes in. When this California guy showed up at our ranch I never dreamed he would be one of the most vocal supporters that's come our way. IMO, a $200,000 motor home and $10,000 pit are useless if you purchase inferior meats. Paying a little more for a high quality product is just part of the game plan for some folks.

Does that National Beef Packer brisket you buy come with a guarantee? Was the corn they ate genetically modified? We have no desire to be organic. I have no idea why I'm even addressing that aspect. Our goal is to produce Prime all-natural Wagyu beef using humane standards. Never "administer" antibiotics or hormones is the CORRECT term since the animals have naturally occurring antibodies and hormones that their bodies produce. They never receive either on our ranch. As for Japanese Wagyu .....Importation of live cattle was banned for years AFTER the live cattle and genetics were brought to the US. We have thousands of units of Japanese Wagyu semen and embryos that will carry the line on for generations. Foundation genetics. You don't get "watered down" bloodlines when you use fullblood foundation genetics.

Nice Hatchet job here. I hardly make anything on Strube Briskets...It drives customers to me. If you give us more than a few days we select from the same place Doug does.


But to answer you I use them and it helped me win the royal and another rgc today at Sams Tucson.

By the way back to the cheap shot by Jmoney...
compare our shipping to anyone...
also nobody has big wagyus currently..SRF has been struggling with the same issues.
The truth is the 14 pound brisket is the new 17. Times have changed as long as feed is what it is.
We ship one day from and to Texas
By the way Doug doesnt work for Strube anymore. That cell link is going to be pretty useful....
I guarantee you that our customers get the same quality brisket and cheap[er freight than Strube..(who by the way is not accepting new BBQ customers
The sticker that you claim means its agen it the only sticker they offer and does not mean anything.

I ordered a dozen from you. Looking forward to trying them!

Thanks for the info. So all of your briskets are USDA prime graded?
 
I apologize I didn't see an admin title under your username, was I missing something? Threads can go on forever, just like the never ending UDS thread. You can decide not to participate if you like, good ol USA guarantees that right.
 
I will say this then I am done. Customer service in today's society for me goes a long way coupled with a great product is even better. It what brings me back time after time. Taking the time to answer questions which Strube & BP did seals the deal for me @ IMHO neither of you need to defend your products or Customer service ! Now go IU:biggrin1:
 
I have ordered several briskets through BPS and as a member of Team Simply Marvelous I have ordered several other needed supplies through them. The customer suport is great, this year I am sponsored by a local butcher shop and tried to get Strube Ranch through them but were unable to. If they Austrailian Wagyu i get doesnt work out I am going to order my briskets on my own dime through BPS and Strube... I know there are a few freezers full of them here in Indiana...
 
"Over 90% of Strube's carcasses grade Prime, the highest grade award by the USDA. Once a carcass receives the USDA Prime grade, it is graded again by a third party using the renowned Japanese BMS scoring system. This assures that you will receive a product that not only adheres to strict USDA Prime standards, but to elite Japanese standards as well."

Is there an average BMS score they are looking for, is it marked on the product?

Trust me, I do not want to join the party. Just curious. Don't know enough about the product to make an informed decision, so I tend to rely on the BMS score. :oops:
 
CBJs in KCBS are quite a bit more discerning about the quality of brisket walks than the Texas comp judges they pull out of the crowd after drinking a twelve pack and smoking a pack of cigs. Just my personal humbled experience recently. :shocked:
