Why it's listed
Booth Creek Wagyu is a Kansas operation raising fullblood and F1 Wagyu on tallgrass prairie north of Manhattan. The company operates its ranch, feeding program, Meatworks of Kansas processing plant, retail stores, and distribution center within the same region. It sells beef directly online, ships to the lower 48 states, and operates branded retail stores in Kansas.
One company from pasture to counter
Booth Creek raises fullblood and F1 Wagyu on tallgrass prairie north of Manhattan, Kansas, and does something few producers of its size do: it owns the steps after the pasture. The ranch, the feeding programme, the Meatworks of Kansas processing plant, the distribution and its own branded retail stores sit within the same region and the same company.
That matters for a reader trying to check a claim. When a producer owns its processing, the chain from a named animal to a labelled package has no intermediary who could substitute a box, which is exactly where provenance is usually lost in American beef. It also means the breed statement on the package and the breed of the animal are maintained by one party rather than passed along.
The herd covers both fullblood and F1, so the label on the specific cut is what tells you which you are buying. Those are different products at different prices and a shop selling both is not a contradiction, it is a range.

Common questions
- Is Booth Creek Wagyu fullblood?
- Both. The operation raises fullblood Wagyu and F1 Wagyu-cross cattle, so the answer depends on the cut in front of you rather than on the brand. Check the product label for which one it is.
