About this episode

In this episode, Alan and Susie sit down with Aaron Startz, owner of Startz Cattle Company — the largest Wagyu ranch in Texas. Wagyu beef has a reputation for being some of the best in the world, but what actually goes into it? Aaron walks us through what sets Wagyu apart, from genetics to feed to the years of patient care it takes to raise these cattle, and why that process translates into the marbling and flavor Wagyu is known for. Whether you're a steak lover, a fellow restaurant owner, or just curious about where great beef comes from, this conversation is worth the listen.
