About Wagner American Blues

We are a family owned farm in Parkston, South Dakota, and we strive to bring you the best meat. We love our American Blue meat and want to share our love for it with everyone.

American Blues are a double muscle breed of cattle, meaning they have a gene called the Myostatin Gene. The American Blue crosses contain more short muscle fibers than traditional beef. This significantly contributes to meat tenderness.

Since there is minimal fat content, American Blue beef has greater moisture content. These two items together help establish a base for an exceptionally flavorful product. Not only is it flavorful it is also very tender. Once you try American Blue meat your mouth will water for more.

Not only does their meat taste wonderful, the breed is great to work with. They are a docile and quiet breed which makes them easy to handle and to work with.

Our meat is hormone free, drug free, and grass fed, grain finished.

Why American Blues?

If you're not familiar with American Blues yet, you're in for a treat! This unique breed of cattle contains more short muscle fibers than traditional meat - resulting in moist and tender meat. Check out the graphics below for more info!
