A long-fed crossbred programme at Glen Innes
Rangers Valley described itself as one of the world's most respected premium marbled beef producers, specialising in long-fed pure Black Angus and Wagyu cross breeds from Glen Innes in the New England country of New South Wales. The wording is worth keeping precisely: the Angus is described as pure and the Wagyu as a cross, which settles the breed question in one sentence.
Its beef reached buyers under several brand names rather than the company name, which is the usual source of confusion here. WX is the Wagyu line; Black Onyx is the Angus one, alongside Black Market and Infinite. A menu naming Black Onyx is not offering Wagyu at all.
Read the marble score, not the brand
The same rule applies as to every Australian producer in this directory. Rangers Valley marketing quoted specific marbling, MB7+ among it, but the brand name alone carries no score. A kitchen citing the producer has told you where the beef came from; the AUS-MEAT number tells you what grade arrived.
Its own website no longer resolves to it
This entry is written from an Internet Archive capture dated 25 December 2025, because the live domain no longer serves the company. As of 17 August 2026 both rangersvalley.com.au and rangersvalley.com redirect to the website of Stanbroke, a separate Queensland beef business, and Stanbroke's own site does not mention Rangers Valley anywhere on it.
What that means is genuinely unclear and this page will not guess. A redirect is not an announcement, no first-party statement of a sale or closure has been found, and inventing one would be worse than saying nothing. It is recorded here because a reader who tries to check this producer will hit the same wall, and because a directory that quietly kept citing a brand whose own site had gone would be failing at the one job it has.

Common questions
- Is Rangers Valley Wagyu fullblood?
- No. The company described its Wagyu as cross breeds and its Angus as pure, in that wording, and long-fed. Its Wagyu was sold under the WX brand rather than under the company name.
- What is the difference between Rangers Valley WX and Black Onyx?
- WX was the Wagyu line and Black Onyx is the Black Angus one. They are different breeds from the same producer, so a menu naming Black Onyx is not offering Wagyu.
- Why does the Rangers Valley website not work?
- As of August 2026 its domains redirect to Stanbroke, an unrelated Queensland producer whose site does not mention Rangers Valley. No first-party explanation has been published, so this directory records the redirect as a fact and draws no conclusion from it. The description here comes from an archived copy of the company's own site from December 2025.
