Small-batch, slow-raised, and serious about standards to bring you truly unforgettable, high grade beef. Fellers Ranch™ produces the highest quality Wagyu beef in the Midwest. Our cattle are fed a custom diet and are raised in a low stress environment . Following 14 days of dry aging, the result is amazing tenderness, marbling, and flavor. Fellers Ranch™ is a partnership between a third-generation
family farmer, a 75-year-old family-owned (USDA-inspected) meat processing facility, and several seasoned ranchers. That vision is based on decades of raising cattle and processing meat. We are all located in south-central Minnesota, which is where our cattle are raised.We are made up of family farmers, and we support small business. Fellers Ranch™ does not utilize commercial feedlots or corporate processing plants. We believe that the best breeding, calving, raising, processing, and delivery is done by local people that we know and trust. Numerous studies show that Wagyu is among the healthiest of all beef produced. Wagyu contains higher levels of monounsaturated (“good”) fat and oleic acid than other beef. Not only does Wagyu provide tremendous flavor and tenderness, but it can also be an integral part of a healthy, well-balanced diet. Commercial feedlots are all about maximizing feed intake and quick delivery to the slaughtering plant. We are all about stress-free, healthy animal growth, resulting in tremendous flavor and marbling. The unsaturated fats that give Wagyu its world-renowned marbling and tenderness can melt quickly. Therefore, Wagyu should be cooked at higher temperatures, but with less time on the grill or stove top. When grilling, a solid grill plate is suggested rather than an open grate directly over the flame. This reduces the loss of intramuscular fats, which is what gives Wagyu its excellent flavor and tenderness. Fellers Ranch™ recommends bringing Wagyu to room temperature prior to placing it on the heating surface. We also suggest smaller cuts to promote more rapid, even cooking.
