Abatti Cos. launch new American Wagyu beef line
New Abatti Ranch Wagyu boxed beef goes to worldwide distribution in July 2024.
The Abatti Cos., with a 100-year family farming history, have expanded globally, exporting to over 20 countries. The Abatti family is introducing Abatti Ranch Wagyu boxed beef to expand their family agribusiness portfolio.
Over the past 30 years, Alex Abatti Jr., the founder of the Abatti Cos. and a third-generation farmer, has been researching the Japanese Wagyu feeding style to meet the feedstock export requirements of his Japanese Wagyu-producing customers. In 2018, the Abatti Cos. started feeding American Wagyu cattle and applied the same Japanese feed style principles. In 2022, the Abatti Cos. established LVS Cattle Feeders with a one-time feeding capacity of 13,000 head, focusing exclusively on finishing high-quality American Wagyu cattle.
LVS Cattle Feeders, in California’s Imperial Valley, experiences ideal year-round feeding conditions for their family’s American Wagyu cattle. Daniela Abatti, cattle manager and a fourth-generation farmer, said, “Our Abatti Ranch Wagyu cattle are genuinely happier ... Our Wagyu cattle have dry, consistent weather, access to deluxe feed, generous spacing, ample shade, and snowpack-sourced river water. These conditions, combined with our genetics, result in unmatched consistency for marbling, tenderness, and a luxurious umami flavor. Other American Wagyu cattle typically endure two harsh winters in unprotected pens and extensive transport, impacting efficiency and quality.
The exclusively branded Abatti Ranch Wagyu boxed beef is grain-fed for a minimum of 550 days and raised without the use of hormones. All cattle are born, raised and harvested in California. Abatti Ranch Wagyu will be available for worldwide distribution in July 2024.
