Half Carcass
A half carcass represents the allocation of one side of a single Wagyu animal, processed once and distributed to a single buyer. This offering provides access to a broad range of cuts while reducing total volume, making it a practical option for restaurants and private buyers seeking consistency without full-carcass scale.
Intended Buyer: Designed for restaurants and private buyers seeking a meaningful commitment to a single animal, with the capacity to manage processing decisions, storage, and utilization at a reduced scale.
Purchasing a half carcass is a commitment to one side of a single Wagyu animal and its resulting yield. This allocation includes a diverse range of cuts determined during processing and requires planning around storage and utilization. While offering reduced volume compared to a whole carcass, half carcass buyers should still be comfortable with natural variation, seasonal timing, and coordinating details directly with the ranch and processor.
