Mark Zuckerberg’s New Venture: Wagyu and Angus Cattle

We wrote a few lines on this site to talk about the secret project that tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg is building in Hawaii. A kind of bunker with a high level of security, luxury and comfort..

And now on his social networks, the Facebook founder and CEO Target announced that he was starting a new venture: raising cattle for the production of Wagyu and Angus beef, and also producing craft beer.

Mark Zuckerberg’s plan to achieve this goal involves subjecting livestock to a strict diet based on drinking local craft beer and macadamia nuts.

Zuckerberg noted that “each cow eats between 5,000 and 10,000 pounds.” [entre 2,2 y 4,5 toneladas] food every year, so that’s many acres of macadamia trees. My daughters help plant macadamia trees and take care of various animals. We’re still in the early stages of the journey and it’s exciting to improve every season. Of all my projects, this is the most delicious.”

This cow beer provides high levels of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals. This helps the fat penetrate the meat better, creating a more intense flavor and more tender texture than cattle that only drank water.

Wagyu meat is one of the most valuable and expensive in the world due to its unique taste, tenderness and juiciness. Its main distinguishing feature is the high level of fat that penetrates between the meat, giving it a marbled or marbled appearance. This fat is rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as omega 3, 6 and 9, which are beneficial for health. Wagyu meat comes from native breeds of Japan that were exported to other countries such as the United States or Australia, where they were crossed with other breeds. For meat to be considered wagyu, the animal must be of certified genetic purity, be fed grains, grasses, rice and corn, and be slaughtered between 24 and 36 months of age.

Angus beef comes from the Aberdeen Angus breed, native to Scotland, which has been raised for centuries to the highest standards of animal welfare and feeding. Angus beef has a high degree of marbling, which is intramuscular fat that melts when cooked and gives it a tender and juicy texture. This meat is highly prized by chefs and food lovers and can be grilled in a variety of styles, such as French rack, tomahawk, entranha, smooth loin or veined loin.
