Wagyu Beef

Renowned for its rich flavour due to its exceptional marbling, Wagyu beef is the collective name for several Japanese cattle breeds, made from crossbreeding native Japanese cattle with European cattle. The result of careful genetic selection and breeding, Wagyu meat bears extensive intramuscular fat, known as marbling, that infuses the meat with a rich, buttery flavour when cooked.

Depending on the amount of Wagyu in the cattle's genetics, the Wagyu may be Pureblood Wagyu (>93.75% pure Japanese Wagyu), Full-blood Wagyu (100% Wagyu) or Crossbred Wagyu ranging from F1 to F3 (F1 meaning 50% Wagyu , F2 meaning 75% Wagyu, and F3 meaning 87.5% Wagyu).

Moco Food Services supplies Australian Wagyu from a variety of different brands. Learn more about these brands here:

      

Grain Fed

Grain fed beef is sourced from cattle that is typically predominantly fed on pasture and grass, but finished on grain for a number of days, typically between 100 days and 400 days. Cattle that is fed on a grain is given a carefully balanced diet of grain, usually barley, wheat and sorghum, as well as protein, fibre and fat to create consistent marbling throughout the meat. Due to the higher level of intramuscular fat, grain-fed beef has rich, buttery taste.

Grass fed

Grass fed beef is sourced from cattle that has not been finished on grain, meaning they eat only grass, clovers and other plants for their entire lives. Most beef in Australia is fed on grass for a period of time, but only some cattle are grassfed from start to finish. Grass  fed beef is regarded as a premium beef, with a complex flavour profile, less fat overall and a firmer, leaner texture. The meat is easily recognisable at a glance due to its soft, creamy and yellowish coloured fat.

Pasture fed

Pasture fed cattle are similar to grass fed cattle, except pasture fed cattle roam and graze on open paddocks, free to move around naturally. As these cattle are not finished in grain in feedlots and feed based on natural factors, the flavour profile of pasture fed meat is complex and regarded as premium beef. Like grass fed beef, pasture fed beef is has a firm, lean texture and has a soft, creamy and yellowish fat.

Marble Score

Marblescore refers to the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat within a cut of beef, which directly influences its tenderness, juiciness, and flavour. The Meat Standards Australia (MSA) grading system measures marbling on a scale from 0 to 9+, with higher scores indicating more visible fine white flecks of fat evenly dispersed through the meat. Cuts with higher marbling scores, such as those from Wagyu or premium grain-fed cattle, are prized for their rich, buttery texture and superior eating quality, making marbling a key indicator of premium Australian beef.
