Why Wagyu x Angus Beef is the Best Choice for Your Table

At Six 9 Ranch, we believe that quality beef starts with quality breeding. That’s why we’ve carefully selected a Wagyu x Angus cross for our cattle, combining the best traits of two world-class breeds. Whether you’re a beef connoisseur, a home cook who appreciates high-quality ingredients, or simply someone who values knowing where your food comes from, here’s why Wagyu x Angus beef is in a league of its own.

The Perfect Balance of Marbling and Flavour

Wagyu cattle are famous for their superior marbling—the intricate webbing of fat within the muscle that creates an ultra-tender, juicy bite. But traditional Wagyu beef can sometimes be too rich for those who prefer a heartier, beefier taste. That’s where Angus comes in. Angus beef is known for its bold, robust flavour and firm texture, making it a favourite among steak lovers.

By crossing Wagyu with Black Angus, we’ve struck the perfect balance. The result? A steak that’s beautifully marbled yet still delivers that classic beefy flavour, with tenderness that melts in your mouth.

Tenderness Without Compromise

One of the biggest complaints about traditional beef is inconsistency. Some cuts are tough, others are tender, and you never quite know what you’re going to get. With Wagyu x Angus beef, every cut is consistently tender, thanks to the fine marbling inherited from the Wagyu genetics. Whether you’re grilling a ribeye, slow-cooking a roast, or pan-searing a sirloin, you can expect an elevated dining experience every time.

Healthier Fats for a Better Bite

Not all fat is created equal. Wagyu beef is rich in monounsaturated fats and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids—healthy fats that not only enhance flavour but also contribute to better heart health. By combining Wagyu with Angus, we produce beef that is both flavourful and nutritionally superior. Compared to traditional beef, Wagyu x Angus contains a higher ratio of these beneficial fats, making it a smarter choice for those who love great beef but also care about what goes into their bodies.

Raised the Right Way

At Six 9 Ranch, we take pride in raising our cattle with care. Our Wagyu x Angus cattle are raised on a nutritious, hormone-free diet and have access to fresh mountain spring water right here in the foothills of Alberta. We believe that happy, healthy cattle produce the best beef, which is why we focus on ethical, sustainable ranching practices.

Unlike mass-produced beef, which often comes from feedlots, our cattle are raised with space to graze and grow naturally. This results in better-quality meat with a richer flavour, free from the stress-related toughness found in conventional beef.

More Affordable Than Full-Blood Wagyu

If you’ve ever looked at the price tag on 100% Wagyu beef, you know it’s an investment. While Wagyu’s incredible marbling makes it one of the most sought-after meats in the world, it also makes it one of the most expensive. By crossing Wagyu with Angus, we offer a premium beef experience at a more accessible price point. You get the tenderness and marbling of Wagyu, paired with the hearty flavour of Angus, without breaking the bank.

The Ultimate Eating Experience

When it comes to beef, there’s no need to settle for ordinary. Our Wagyu x Angus cross delivers an eating experience that’s second to none. Whether you’re grilling for a weekend barbecue, preparing a holiday roast, or just looking for the best steak of your life, this beef checks all the boxes—tender, flavourful, juicy, and raised with care.

At Six 9 Ranch, we’re proud to bring this exceptional beef straight from our ranch to your table. Our first crop of finished Wagyu x Angus cattle will be available in spring 2025, and we can’t wait for you to taste the difference.
