A Legacy to be Proud Of – Great farmers do it right

Tajima Australian Wagyu Beef producers are renowned for their commitment to best practice, ethics, animal health and welfare, and sustainability. When their cattle go into backgrounding and then feedlots, they’re in superior environments, enjoying fresh, local feed daily with no added hormones; cared for by experienced teams with accredited animal welfare handlers.

By way of their partner JBS, they are working towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. They believe that agriculture can and must be a part of the global climate solution and are reducing their emissions through efforts such as moving to renewable electricity, conserving water and minimising waste.

Heritage

Tajima Australian Wagyu Beef was launched and since then has flourished through Australia and into international markets: seen on high-end restaurant and hotel menus in more than twenty countries.

Tajima is the most famous of all the Wagyu bloodlines, originating from the Hyogo prefecture in Japan. They are generally smaller-framed cattle with a slower growth rate, but produce excellent meat-eating quality with a large eye muscle and superior marbling, ideal for the production of F1 or cross-bred cattle.

Wagyu is described as the highest quality beef in the world, renowned for its distinctive marbling and flavour. Wagyu beef also contains a higher percentage of Omega-3 and Omega-6, and its increased marbling enhances the ratio of healthier monounsaturated fats when compared to regular beef.

Cattle going through the Tajima Australian Wagyu Beef branded program are carefully chosen by discerning livestock specialists. Starting with Australia’s leading Wagyu breeders and genetics, calves are hand-selected for performance, softness, confirmation and style.

Further selection is undertaken throughout the feeding, processing and carcase grading stages of the program, performed under the guidance of their strategic partner and the world’s leading meat processor, JBS Australia. It is only after this intensive selection process that a small percentage of exceptional, highly marbled beef can be branded Tajima Australian Wagyu Beef.

The end result is an incredible eating experience, rich in good fats. Tajima Australian Wagyu Beef provides a distinctive opportunity to encounter the earthy caramel flavour and silky texture of this highly sought-after beef.
