Wagyu cattle are prized for their exceptional marbling, tenderness, and flavor profile. The breed's unique genetics produce intramuscular fat (marbling) that gives Wagyu beef its characteristic buttery texture and rich umami flavor. Many Iowa producers focus on maintaining high genetic standards through registered breeding programs.
