Chef Steve Salle at The Spring Foodshow With Snake River Farms

Steve Salle, Center of the Plate Specialist from US Foodservice San Francisco checked in from the US Foodservice Spring Foodshow in Sacramento.

Hello all,

We had so much interest yesterday about Snake River Farms beef, here are a few fun fact to ponder !!!!

During the second century A.D., a legendary breed of cattle -called Wagyu- were brought from their home on the Asian mainland to a new life in Japan.
The breed was refined in the Kobe region of Japanover hundreds of generations and has become famous around the world for its intense flavor and supreme tenderness.
This ancient breed from Japan is the foundation for the elite quality of Snake River Farms American kobe beef.

Japanese Wagyu are often crossed with dairy cattle in Japan. SRF crosses its premiere Wagyu cattle with premium American Black Angus to create exceptional American Kobe Beef

SRF has adopted many aspects of the heritage-steeped Japanese feeding method, including a slow-paced, all natural production method. The cattle are fed a all natural diet of barley, golden wheat straw, alfalfa hay and Idaho potatoes...never any growth promoting hormones or animal-by products in the feed

Cheers,


Steve Salle
