In order to raise and produce the best possible Wagyu beef, the Joseph Decuis team spent time in Japan in order to learn the Japanese husbandry methods to raising Wagyu. josephdecuis.com/
Japanese have the intelligence, the hard working ethics and the infinite subtlety that runs through old civilization to make anything and everything excellent. Thank you for sharing with the rest of the world.
So true and they've been that way for thousands of years, but they were also arrogant militarily speaking. They had never been defeated in war until 1945. A change in their world vision was inevitable and necessary. Don't get me wrong, the Japanese people have always been wonderful, considerate and intelligent people it was their leadership and military commanders. I guess I should add that several nations with great military strength should observe and listen to their people concerning war, look back on history so to speak. For those who have seen war up close and personal they know how horrible it is and how much pain it levels on their sliders and people. Didn't mean to write you a novel friend, just wanted to agree with you and share some on my insights from personal experience.
Every American business- particularly in manufacturing- is modeled after the Japanese way. In fact, legislators took action in the 1980s to ensure Toyota didn’t destroy the American auto industry because they couldn’t compete. They are the most resilient people on earth and no country or culture has transformed how they have while maintaining some of their most advantageous features.
"If you start listening to everybody, you begin losing yourself." Very profound coming from an elder in the Japanese culture. They put high praise on functioning as a collective, vs the western philosophy which puts the individual first.
didn't he just say if you start listening to everybody, you begin losing yourself? meaning that by doing so you're losing your individuality? Cause he didn't say it in a positive manner, as it is good to listen to everyone and lose yourself.
If you are going to raise any meat should be done like this. These cattle are not stressed out. Many other meat producers should take note. This type of production should not be the exception it should be the standard.
Keith Cleghorn americans arent going to want to lower their consumption nor lose their profits. I agree. We all can do with a little less of everything.
He can afford to give these cows this life because the margins are high and the meat is expensive. For your average grocery store beef, only way to compete is what you already know
They are some beautiful cattle. I just cry. My husband passed away and I am disabled and my son was having a hard time with grief as I was. He didn't want to help with anything. Our cattle were so beautiful. Black Angus. Certified. Had to sale them in January in the winter got low on hay. Didn't get a good price for them. The market was down.
I've met these folks and eaten at their property. They are the real deal genuine good people. They have a legitimate operation going. It is a great thing to see.
@@brandonevans6770 DeQuis is the family name. I was hired to draw caricatures at their party. They are such wonderful people and have a wonderful family.
I've raised cattle and for the most part many pastures in the smaller farms are raised the same way. Instead of running around trying to chase everyone into the pen to get wurm treatment we just shake a feed bag or bucket they all race to the pen on their own. (almost all 60 head of full grown cattle).
Yes, you do. Americans allow FDA to approve cancer creating food for the market. Americans allow Monsanto to poison them and the World with chemical agents.
It’s far beyond time to start to revolutionize how the meet industry treats animals. These beautiful cows deserve the wonderful life they have; after all-they give their life in order for people to be able to consume them. It’s my opinion that the reason why we’re in the situation we’re in is bc animals are living in absolute horrific and deplorable conditions for far too long. Many of the viruses that have threatened our health have come from farm animals. The disgusting environment that they are forced to live in creates toxic disease. You can get away with treating Mother Nature and her animals like crap for so long, before eventually she will backfire and refuse to no longer be treated in such a way.
My grandpa owns his own cows , they may not be like this but we live in the country so it has so many free lands and I do cherish it , we take care of them and they breed naturally
The idea or notion of what tastes good differs so much. Where I live, we like older animals especially in cows and pigs. Though they take longer to cook, we find it is more savoury and overall tastes better and we like meat well cooked. But not in the western countries and even in some eastern countries too. They like younger meat and rarely cooked in general. This type of meat, Wagyu wouldn't be of much value or sought after that much. But that's the beauty of the world.
The cattle lead amazing lives. They are healthy, stress-free, happy, loved. He lives with them, cares for them, massages them, loves them, share feelings with them. The beef is truly world class, the best. But wont your heart slowly tear away? Isnt it sad to raise them in such a loving and caring way knowing that you’re going to send them to slaughter, and then into the mouth of random people?
@@syntiy5737 I know but I wouldnt kill my own dog and sell the meat. I dont think its very different from the way they raise their cattle. Only difference is society sees cattle as food and dogs not. So he convinces himself that its fine. (not against eating meat, its just that raising it with love and then selling it for slaughter is psycho shit)
@@Robin-hv5tv That's just a cultural thing that values pets more. in china pet dogs are often raised and sold to meat markets for money, and its seen as perfectly normal over there. In fact when you go to a Chinese wet market you're allowed to pick which live dog you want to be butchered and eaten. You wouldn't do it but lots of other people would and do, its a huge source of revenue for the country.
This man stepped into a golden mind by trying out that cow and finding the most valuable meat. clearly his not a business man otherwise he would have kept it for himself mans a naturalist. Respect for you mate
6:15 And that looks like a good tool to have on top of your cows hay so they won't pull it out and drop it on the ground. It's a good simulation of ripping grass out of the ground. Prey animals are constantly having to loot about them so rarely would they be able to just keep your head down feeding.
I don't know, but I'm sure it affects some farmers. I had a friend who grew up on a small cattle farm in Honduras, and he could never eat beef because he just appreciated his cow friends too much.
Sensitivity, anxiety, depression are weak ass bitches... The country you live on is built on river of blood... Imagine our ancestors are kind, nice people... You will not be existing now
Like everything else if the market demands it the ppl will find a way . Just like silk or caviar , high quality steel , gold you name it . Spanish pork . It never ends
Commercial meat is raised more for profit, where as if you go to a local farm you can see how the livestock is raised and even buy one to raise yourself. My brother goes to the 4H auction to buy his beef.
I have often thought, could you do the same with pigs, chickens, etc...?? If you care for them for generations and feed and care for them, will the meat be like the wagyu cow??
Fascinating. All meat should be happy and expensive to reflect a happy life well cared for life. Although 50,000 years ago ... there was us, Neanderthals and Mammoths so I take that story as a story.
30 min ago I air fried a 1 inch grade A5 tenderloin wagyu steak seasoned it with only pepper so that I could taste the meat and fat.. tell you, its very very good prolly the best steak I had so far. Better than angus or anything else.
Genetics has more to do with the good flavour than the stress-free environment. As it says in the beginning, the best cattle were selected and bred. Wagyu meat is rich in fats, which add much to the taste.
Stress free allow for more tender muscle tissue, as he was saying it's not something you can read out of a book, you have to be there, to feel it, to live it.
Cattle in stressful environments develop immune system difficulties that can negatively affect the final product, that’s why a lot of big meat industries pump a lot of antibiotics in them to prevent that from happening. It might just be me, but I don’t really want that shit in the stuff I eat
It's barely about genetics. How much fat a mammal has isn't passed down to the next generation. More than anything it's their diet and lifestyle. The other guy had it right about the hormones and stress. More stress releases more adrenaline, which over time will effect the final beef product.
this is proof too my theory that life is moldable...if you work a being in a certain fashion you can effectively alter their genetics through establishing and maintaing simple routines which dictates their development in all facets...
ungulates are genetically very plastic; you can select for all kinds of things with impunity, and show results fairly quickly. the problem with this breed is slow to mature, dairy conformation, variance in bloodlines, not consistent, and VERY slow to finish. Also, that big front end is where the lower cuts are, the back end is dairy type, heavily discounted "on the rail' or if you ever have to send to auction in N. America. Japan also controls their Supply Chain vertically with "assoc.", what Canada calls "marketing boards", which the USA says are pinko commie so no way. American cattlemen are THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY when it comes to change.
Iggi Valencia It's only silly to those people who doesn't know what the word, "Wagyu" actually means, and that's majority of the people. Even if the title was, "Japan: Japanese cow", not everyone knows Japanese cows are all raised in Japan. Like Chinese cabbage (bok choy) is not only raised in China. Or 'Bolognese sauce', not everyone knows the word "Bolognese" is derived from the word Bologna which is a city in Italy. That's like having a title, Italy: Bolognese sauce. Not all Bolognese sauce are produced in Bologna.
Leo Waisanen hmmm the guy is Japanese, he talks about Japanese culture, and wagyu translates into “Japanese cow”. You can also see Japanese buildings. I really don’t know where this possible could be
Yeah, it's natural until the day x of no return. i'm in between a steak lover and an animals friend here. This is a tought thing to decide. Still i think it's way better to eat a steak of that kind, rather than a steak produced for the mass market. The animals had a better life by far but the question remains. How much is the market share of Wagyu not in terms of it's price but it's quantity compared to all other?
Man if all cattle were raised this way I would happily pay the increase in price for a steak. For now I have high blood pressure and avoid red meat but a happy cow is good
This model should be standard. All living organisms thrive best in their natural habit. The most detrimental factor to any system being financial or organic is human greed. Greed is a contaminant to all systems. If would just let go and flow with nature the reward to ones wallet and spirit will be everlasting.
If I'm this mans son, I'm like WTF are we doing...the genetics stay in Japan!!! It's famous now, you make as much money and don't let others steal your hard work.
Wagyu is much like wine, takes on the flavor of the enviroment.... Taste different with all the suttle nuances, has extreme quality of taste no peer. Italian white are far second place...
I don't discount vegetarianism, but I'm curious how much landmass will need to be used to generate the non-animal based biomass necessary to feed 7 billion people.
CyclingSJH the biggest problem is that people dont know what they want. Too much resource used, then activists jump in. Cut down on meat consumption, then people cry job and profit lost. Most have chosen short term money over long term sustainability.
Eloise Tugwell heeeyyy someone gets it! We would save so much water, food, and transportation gas fuels that are wasted on the animal agriculture if we didn't eat meat. Humans could easily survive without animals and would overall be better for the environment. Have you watched cowspiracy? Super interesting movie. Stay education eloise 👏🏻👏🏻
Livestock are able to use lands that cannot support agricultural (poor or thin top soil, hillsides, rocky ground. low rain fall, etc). They do not need grain to thrive or finish well. The grain fed to livestock is there solely to accelerate growth rate and white marbling of the meat in a confinement industrialized agricultural environment. Herbivores should be raised on herbs. The current industrialized model is based totally on cheap hydrocarbons. The problem is not with the cows but the way they are managed and the mindset of those that consume them (cheapest price per pound always wins). It is a complex modern problem that has a simple ancient solution. Graze animals where crops won't grow. Use animals to increase fertility of marginal ground to produce crop lands. Use animals to manage weeds and pests in crops.
Consider that the cattle have land to live,but also land is a needed to grow their food. Just feedinghumans plant material would require much less land and resource use.
Seems like they really care of cattle, seemes like they even show the cattle love, but it's all for the green backs. Little do the cows know a perfectly sharpen knife is waiting for them to dismember every part of their delicious little body. I like the background music though. Inspiring.

Leo Waisanen hmmm the guy is Japanese, he talks about Japanese culture, and wagyu translates into “Japanese cow”. You can also see Japanese buildings. I really don’t know where this possible could be
Great video
Those are some beautiful looking cows
Well, I came here to learn wagyu and I left with a life lesson: stop listening to people and stick with your grind
I think what he meant was do not let people distract you and focus on your goal.
Chalton Mumo your a shmuck
Yeah, it's natural until the day x of no return. i'm in between a steak lover and an animals friend here. This is a tought thing to decide. Still i think it's way better to eat a steak of that kind, rather than a steak produced for the mass market. The animals had a better life by far but the question remains. How much is the market share of Wagyu not in terms of it's price but it's quantity compared to all other?
how does the meat get into the packages? Do the cows just donate it? I watch a lot of Disney. Can someone help?
7:58 ok yeah, this is just the promised neverland cow edition
@ 7.25-the American farmer’s results looks great, but still doesn’t have the same level of marbling like the Japanese farmer is producing.
That’s because it’s prime plus, not A5. It takes years and years to develop the A4 to A5 marbling
I love japan...
@3:53 sounds like a hell of a birthday 😂😂😂
more and longer videos on cows please
That's so awesome
Man if all cattle were raised this way I would happily pay the increase in price for a steak. For now I have high blood pressure and avoid red meat but a happy cow is good
This model should be standard. All living organisms thrive best in their natural habit. The most detrimental factor to any system being financial or organic is human greed. Greed is a contaminant to all systems. If would just let go and flow with nature the reward to ones wallet and spirit will be everlasting.
But how did the cows get to Japan!?!?!?!?
If I'm this mans son, I'm like WTF are we doing...the genetics stay in Japan!!! It's famous now, you make as much money and don't let others steal your hard work.
Very nice 👍 i would like to buy few🤔 how can I please 🤔😳
1:52 they were not eating beef prior to that? Were they only drinking its milk??
fulaan1 He said they were being used as draft animals.
Wagyu is much like wine, takes on the flavor of the enviroment.... Taste different with all the suttle nuances, has extreme quality of taste no peer. Italian white are far second place...
And that’s probably the happiest meat you will ever eat
Promised neverland 😴😴😴😴😴
Only dislikes are from those who have never ate wagyu
Bows...to a wise man.
the cows are taken care almost like a baby.. btw i wanna taste wagyu one day
My biggest dream is to have wagyu farm in my beloved motherland the philippines sooner than later🤲
I don't discount vegetarianism, but I'm curious how much landmass will need to be used to generate the non-animal based biomass necessary to feed 7 billion people.
CyclingSJH the biggest problem is that people dont know what they want. Too much resource used, then activists jump in. Cut down on meat consumption, then people cry job and profit lost. Most have chosen short term money over long term sustainability.
Eloise Tugwell heeeyyy someone gets it! We would save so much water, food, and transportation gas fuels that are wasted on the animal agriculture if we didn't eat meat. Humans could easily survive without animals and would overall be better for the environment. Have you watched cowspiracy? Super interesting movie. Stay education eloise 👏🏻👏🏻
Livestock are able to use lands that cannot support agricultural (poor or thin top soil, hillsides, rocky ground. low rain fall, etc). They do not need grain to thrive or finish well. The grain fed to livestock is there solely to accelerate growth rate and white marbling of the meat in a confinement industrialized agricultural environment. Herbivores should be raised on herbs. The current industrialized model is based totally on cheap hydrocarbons. The problem is not with the cows but the way they are managed and the mindset of those that consume them (cheapest price per pound always wins). It is a complex modern problem that has a simple ancient solution. Graze animals where crops won't grow. Use animals to increase fertility of marginal ground to produce crop lands. Use animals to manage weeds and pests in crops.
Consider that the cattle have land to live,but also land is a needed to grow their food. Just feedinghumans plant material would require much less land and resource use.
You use and therefore lose biomass by raising cattle
Like to tell what people prefer to hear. ..
Seems like they really care of cattle, seemes like they even show the cattle love, but it's all for the green backs. Little do the cows know a perfectly sharpen knife is waiting for them to dismember every part of their delicious little body. I like the background music though. Inspiring.
Where can I purchase this beef?
What is the food for fattening male cattle??
