Twin Oaks Angus/Wagyu Farm

Twin Oaks is the Winall family's farm at Powhatan, west of Richmond, running about a hundred head on 225 acres. It began in 2012 as a registered Angus operation and moved to primarily fullblood Wagyu in 2016, which is a substantial commitment: changing the genetic base of a herd means replacing breeding stock and waiting years for the results.

Its association standing is documented several ways over. It is an American Wagyu Association member with a registered fullblood sire entered in the association's first progeny test, and it was a beef sponsor at the 2025 annual meeting. A progeny test entry is the most useful of those, because it means the sire's offspring are being measured against other sires rather than described.

This farm's store does something almost no other producer does, and it makes the whole breed-percentage question concrete. The same cut is sold at three different genetic levels, each labelled with the actual ratio: American Wagyu at 50/50 Wagyu to Angus, American Wagyu Plus at 75/25, and a Black Label line that is 100 percent Japanese genetics.

That is the ladder written out in full. An F1 is half. Each further generation bred back to Wagyu roughly halves the remaining Angus, so 75 percent is the next step up, and fullblood is the top. Nothing else on this pillar lets a reader see all three from one farm, from one herd and one feeding programme, with the only variable being the genetics.

It also quietly answers the question everyone asks, which is whether more Wagyu is better. The farm sells all three rather than pushing everyone to the top, and there is a reason for that: fullblood is extraordinarily rich and best in small portions, while a 50/50 eats like a very good steak. They are different products, not a good, better and best.

Beef is born and raised on the farm and sold through an online store with free farm pickup and local delivery within about fourteen miles. Orders can be placed against a future animal, with notice when it is ready and a delivery time agreed then.

There is no evidence of nationwide shipping, so this is a Richmond-area proposition. Given the price of freight on frozen beef, a farm this close to a city of that size does not particularly need one.
