Our Story
Welcome to Beyond Beef a vertically integrated Wagyu company.
We are a family owned enterprise where honesty and integrity are our non negotiable values. We are so dependent and thankful to our FATHER for all the blessings we enjoy. It’s a privilege to be stewards of the land and the animals entrusted to us. We have an absolute passion for meat and the Wagyu breed.
We called ourselves Beyond Beef………… as this is exactly what we aim to do.
Breeding cattle, Retail butcheries, Wholesale Fabrication Plants, Abattoirs, feedlotting and Crop Farming has always been a way of life for us. We introduced Wagyu genetics into our cattle herds in 2009. Our first Full bloods were born in 2011. With various embryo and semen imports from America and Australia, our South African Wagyu bloodline is now among the best in the world.
We take great care in each production process from genetic imports, breeding, cattle husbandry, feedlot production, slaughter process, fabrication and distribution to live up to our name …. going beyond.
The production of Wagyu beef in South Africa is highly regulated, DNA verification on all registered animals and progeny testing are mandatory. Only the very best proven genetics are imported for breeding allowing us in SA to produce this world renowned beef. Performance data is used to select dams and sires in the production bulls, females, semen and embryos to ensure optimum results for our clients.
Our Philosophy
Is to ensure that the final product meet the consumer’s expectations.
Continually studying Wagyu genetics to find and breed new generation bulls that can outperform their sires.
Our breeding goals need to translate to a more affordable final product.
Farm management and animal husbandry must be of the highest standard – not negotiable.
Research, trial and error of perfecting a feed ration, and the study of genetics and differrent bloodlines are all ongoing criticals for our seedstock production.
We are committed to keeping our clients on the cutting edge of only the most outstanding functional genetics available in the world. In this way adding value to everyone’s business that partners with us.
