W8 Ranch

W8 ranch is a first generation, family-owned business that specializes in raising premium 100% full blood Japanese Wagyu beef in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. Our full-blood Japanese Wagyu cattle are the heart and soul of W8 Ranch. Each animal has undergone rigorous DNA testing and is registered in both the American and Australian Wagyu associations, ensuring that their genetics can be traced back 100% to the original Japanese exports. This provides the foundation for producing the most flavorful and delicious beef in the world. Our cattle are raised with a focus on regenerating the soil through holistic grazing practices that not only develop more natural animal instincts, but also enhances all the underground life for more nutritious grasses. These regenerative management practices prioritize sustainability, eliminate use of chemicals/pesticides/fertilizers/hormones, and preserve animal welfare, ensuring the highest quality meat with exceptionally rich flavor.
