Akaushi Wagyu in the U.S. Started with HeartBrand® Beef.
You can’t out ranch us. We are fifth-generation Texas ranchers and own the largest herd of Akaushi cattle in the United States. HeartBand is the only ranch that can use the Certified Akaushi Beef® label.
We’re obsessed with excellence, which is why we founded the American Akaushi Association and have inspired ranchers across the world to add HeartBrand’s Akaushi genetics to their herds.
Why Choose HeartBrand?
Unmatched Consistency in Every Cut
From filet to flank, HeartBrand’s Certified Akaushi Beef® delivers unparalleled consistency. Thanks to the breed’s extraordinary genetics and our disciplined ranching practices, each cut maintains uniform marbling, tenderness, and flavor—no surprises, just pure excellence every time you cook.
A Healthier Indulgence
At HeartBrand®, our Akaushi cattle are raised on open pastures and provided with a meticulously crafted diet—because exceptional beef starts with intentional care. This dedication produces beef that’s not only rich in flavor and melt-in-your-mouth tender, but also aligns with the values of health-conscious diners. Certified Akaushi Beef® is naturally abundant in monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid—the same heart-healthy fat found in olive oil. It’s beef that loves you back, delivering indulgence without compromise.
Certified for Excellence
The Label That Means More
Every cut of HeartBrand Certified Akaushi Beef® carries more than just a name—it carries a promise. Each product must meet rigorous internal standards for marbling, flavor, and texture before earning the certification. It’s how we deliver an exceptional eating experience with every bite.
Traceability from Ranch to Table
We believe in transparency. Our beef is traceable all the way back to our Akaushi herd, ensuring customers and chefs alike can trust the quality and integrity of what they’re serving.

This is a PARTY in your mouth.
Having been in Houston, TX for the past decade, I was spoiled having this available at Kroger and Texas Star Grill Shop. Now that I’ve moved, the ability to ship this to my house is honestly amazing and it arrives still frozen! My friends and work colleagues in New England have stopped eating Italian sausage and ask for HeartBrand.

Best hamburger I've ever had!
Ground beef is the best I've ever had! I've tried other farm to table beef, and none compares!
