Australian Wagyu — Westholme
Westholme is one of Australia's leading Wagyu producers, raising fullblood and crossbred Wagyu cattle from Japanese genetics on vast Australian stations. The result is beef with significantly more marbling than standard Angus but at a more accessible price point than Japanese A5.
It's worth understanding how Australian Wagyu differs from Japanese. The breed genetics originate from the same Japanese bloodlines, but the farming environment, feed programmes, and scale are different. Crucially, the grading systems are not equivalent. Japan uses the JMGA scale — A1 through A5 with a Beef Marbling Standard (BMS) of 1 to 12 — which captures fine distinctions at the very top end. Australia uses the AUS-MEAT system, which scores marbling from 0 to 9+. The Australian system is less granular at the upper end, meaning there's a wider spread of quality within the top scores than in the Japanese system. Australian Wagyu is excellent beef in its own right — richer and more marbled than any conventional breed — but it's a different product from Japanese A5. For our Japanese Wagyu and Kobe range, see the Japanese Kobe & Wagyu collection.
We carry Westholme as sirloin steak and tomahawk — both impressive cuts with visible marbling and rich, buttery flavour.
Stockyard Australian Black Angus
Stockyard is one of Australia's premier grain-fed Angus programmes, producing beef with consistent marbling, tender texture, and clean beef flavour. Grain-fed for a minimum of 150 days, Stockyard cattle develop even fat distribution and a depth of flavour that grass-fed Angus alone doesn't always achieve. We carry Stockyard ribeye, fillet, and sirloin — all excellent everyday premium steaks that deliver reliable quality without the price point of Wagyu.
Omugi Beef
A newer addition to the range. Omugi — meaning barley in Japanese — is a barley-fed beef programme producing well-marbled, flavourful steaks with a distinctive character derived from the grain finishing. We carry sirloin and ribeye. A strong option for anyone looking for something a step above standard Angus with interesting provenance.
