Minami Beef Cattle are the crossbreeds of Japanese Wagyu bulls and Holstein cows.
They are the first-generation hybrids, which inherit favorable characteristics from both the parents or have potentially superior performances than those of their parents because of heterosis.
Depending on the bloodline of the Japanese Wagyu bull used, the resultant hybrids may show traits more similar to Japanese Wagyu than to the Holstein, thereby inheriting high-performance genes from the fathers.

Minami Beef has a tender texture with just
the right level of marbling.
It is healthy and highly satisfying beef.
