First order from @ElkinsCattleCo just arrived. These porterhouses are massive. Marbling is on par with Wagyu I’ve seen from @snakeriverfarms or even Japan Wagyu. I am excited to eat these soon.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this!!! Made my day. ❤️
Who knew all it would take was a giant Wagyu brisket to get my teenage son excited to fire up the smoker with me?
He was home from school for Veterans Day when my @ElkinsCattleCo order showed up. He brought the box in, saw the Thanksgiving brisket he'd asked me to make, took one look at that marbling and said "Oh my gosh, that looks so good. I'm definitely helping you with this one."
I've been trying to get him into cooking with me for a while. This Thanksgiving we're learning to smoke a brisket together, and I couldn't be more excited.
X fam: I need a good Refferal of someone who can make custom white oak garage doors.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!🙏
🥩 WHAT IS AMERICAN F1 WAGYU? 🥩
We get asked this question a lot, so I figured I would offer a quick explanation:
American F1 #Wagyu is a 50/50 cross between Japanese Wagyu and American cattle, in our case…..our award-winning Angus+. It combines the best qualities of both breeds to produce some incredible beef!
🔥 Marbling: High to very high, delivering incredible juiciness.
🔥 Flavor: Rich, buttery, and bold with that traditional beef flavor.
🔥 Tenderness: Exceptional. Melt-in-your-mouth goodness!
So, what does “F1” mean?
🐂 F1: 50% Wagyu / 50% Angus (what we offer as well as believe is the best tasting)
🐂 F2: 75% Wagyu / 25% Angus
🐂 F3: 87.5% Wagyu / 12.5% Angus
WHY DO WE LOVE F1 WAGYU?
It’s the perfect balance of two outstanding breeds. You get the incredible marbling and tenderness of Japanese Wagyu combined with the bold, beefy flavor and desirable characteristics of American Angus.
The result? Beautifully marbled, exceptionally tender, flavor-packed AMERICAN BEEF! 🇺🇸🥩
At Elkins Cattle Co., we believe great #beef should deliver more than a meal. It should deliver an experience worth sharing!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hope y’all are having a great day!
MY WHY. ❤️❤️❤️
Tonight marks the 6th anniversary of my son Tyler’s passing.
I can tell you firsthand, it NEVER gets easier. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. But what I can tell you is WHY I wake up every morning and do what I do. And WHY it means so much more to me than just raising cattle.
Tyler LOVED eating steak. One of our favorite things to do together was go out and enjoy a good steak. Looking back, I realize it probably wasn’t the steak he loved most. It was sitting across the table from his Dad, laughing, smiling, telling stories, and making memories together.
MEMORIES.
I can’t begin to explain to y’all how badly I wish I could make just ONE more memory with Tyler. One more steak dinner. One more conversation. One more laugh.
But time is undefeated. And the memories we made together are now the most valuable things I have left.
That’s when I realized something. Creating memories isn’t just important to me anymore. It’s become my PASSION.
Think about it. Every time you sit down at the dinner table surrounded by the people you love, you’re doing something far more important than just eating a meal.
You’re making memories.
In those ordinary moments that most of us take for granted, memories are being created that can last a lifetime. And some of those moments become SO valuable that you don’t even realize their worth until they’re all you have left to hold on to.
That’s what makes what I do so special to me.
How incredibly blessed am I to work in an industry I’m so passionate about, where I get to help put food on the tables of families I’ve never even met? To know that somewhere, a father and son might be sitting down to enjoy one of our steaks, laughing, talking, and making the same kind of memories Tyler and I once made.
THAT is my WHY.
It’s not just about raising cattle. It’s not just about selling beef. It’s about being a small part of moments that might someday mean EVERYTHING to someone.
And looking back, I truly believe this is exactly where Tyler would want me to be.
Life moves fast. Faster than any of us realize. We get ONE shot at it, and none of us are promised tomorrow.
So please, make making memories a PRIORITY.
Put the phone down. Sit a little longer at the dinner table. Have that conversation. Share that laugh. Take that picture. Go eat that steak together.
Because one day, you may find yourself wishing you could have just ONE more steak dinner.
And when that day comes, you’ll understand that memories aren’t just something we make along the way.
They’re some of the most PRICELESS things we will ever own.
To my son, Tyler:
Thank you for blessing me with 17 years of memories. I’d give ANYTHING for even just one more minute.
Until we meet again, I’ll keep making memories, I’ll keep sharing your story, and I’ll keep finding ways to make you proud.
I will see you again, my son. I promise. ❤️
Love,
Dad
