Our supply chain
Warrendale Wagyu is a fully integrated supply chain, working in partnership with farmers across the country. The scheme is flexible to fit with each individual farm and their system. We strive to continuously improve the quality of livestock throughout the chain from day one to slaughter, working hard to create localised supply chain triangles wherever possible. There are opportunities in our supply chain for current farmers to expand and for new farmers to join the Wagyu group.

Frequently asked questions
No - each farm can participate in whichever aspect of the supply chain suits their farming system, whether that just be calf rearing or taking them on at the growing stage through to finishing. If you are able to take the animals right through the chain, then that is great!
No - there is no correlation between back fat and marble. Backfat is controlled by protein levels and marble controlled by starch.
The Wagyu cattle, up until late store, are fed the same as any other commercial animal. It is only in the latter store stage and finishing period that the diet is specific.
The marble is graded using the Australian system, graded from 0 (no marble present) to 10 (highly marbled).
