Premium American Wagyu
Raised Here
In the Ozarks

Buttery flavor, tender texture, and slow
aged beef cuts from our family to yours.

What is American Wagyu?

American Wagyu is the perfect blend of Japanese heritage and American craftsmanship. It comes from cattle bred from Japanese Wagyu genetics — prized for their intricate marbling and unmatched tenderness — and raised on U.S. ranches with the care, space, and natural diet that define American ranching traditions.

The result is a steak that combines the luxurious texture of Japanese Wagyu with the bold, hearty flavor of premium American beef. At Ozark Natural Steak Co., our Wagyu is raised locally in Arkansas pastures, free from added hormones, and finished on a natural feed program to develop its signature marbling and buttery richness.

Unmatched Quality

Buttery Flavor

Exceptional marbling delivers a rich, buttery flavor that melts in your mouth with every bite.

Tender Texture

Melt-in-your-mouth tenderness achieved through low-stress handling and careful aging—never rushed, always perfect.

Clean & Slow-Aged

Patiently aged to develop deep, complex flavors while preserving the pure, clean taste of premium American Wagyu.

The Family
Behind the Beef

For over 20 years, Dustin, Denise, Sawyer, and Kenley Smith have put animal well-being first—raising cattle with care to deliver steaks that exceed expectations.

What started with grit and stewardship has grown into a full cattle operation, then a commercial beef business, and eventually Ozark Natural Steak Co.

We believe great beef starts with stewardship, low-stress handling, clean feed, and the patience to do it right. Every decision is made with the animals' well-being in mind.

“ We are extremely grateful for the land, the cattle, and the families we serve.”
