FB94946 — PGWR MR KIKUHANA 105L1

FB94946 was a registered fullblood Japanese Wagyu steer, born on this homestead in Punta Gorda, FL and out on open pasture every day of his life. He was registered with the American Wagyu Association as PGWR MR KIKUHANA 105L1, registration number FB94946, owner of record AWA member #3602. Fullblood means 100% Japanese genetics with no crossbreeding. He finished more than 600 consecutive days on grain and was harvested in August 2026.

Shares of him were never pre-sold — this beef stayed with the family. The page stays up as the first-harvest record; share estimates on the site are now built on the most recent harvest (104J). Live offers are on the current pipeline, not on this animal.

“Wagyu” is not a protected term on an American label. A registration number is a claim that can be failed. Take registration FB94946 and member #3602 to the American Wagyu Association — both are the association’s records, not ours.

Why 600+ days mattered

Marbling is deposited over time. Fat inside the muscle is the last thing an animal lays down, so the length of the finish is most of what separates a Wagyu carcass from a Wagyu pedigree. Genetics set the ceiling; days on feed decided how close he got to it.

He never carried a growth implant, never had antibiotics in feed and none routinely, and never was given a beta-agonist. He was born here, had the same handlers his whole life, and never went through a feedlot or a sale barn. The full husbandry position is on how we raise them.

Share math from this carcass

Share estimates on this site are built on the most recent measured carcass (104J: 756 lb hanging, 510 lb packaged, processed at Fussell Meat LLC for $1,356). At program rates a quarter prices at about 128 lbs packaged, estimated all-in $2,229 (~$17.41/lb), and an eighth about 64 lbs at $1,209 (~$18.89/lb).

Live animals still invoice per lb hanging weight against the weight the processor reports for that animal. These numbers are the honest translation of this measured carcass into the unit people compare.

Cut to the Ranch Standard Cut:

  • Ground beef, 1 lb packages — about 57 lbs in a quarter, 28 lbs in an eighth
  • Steaks — ribeye, NY strip, sirloin, filet, flank, skirt — about 24 lbs in a quarter, 12 lbs in an eighth
  • Roasts — chuck, rump, brisket, round — about 37 lbs in a quarter, 19 lbs in an eighth
  • Short ribs, oxtail, stew meat, soup and marrow bones, organ meats (liver, heart, tongue, kidney, cheek) — about 10 lbs in a quarter, 5 lbs in an eighth

What this page does not claim

  • No USDA grade. Custom-exempt carcasses are not graded, so there is no USDA Prime and no Japanese BMS score.
  • Not grass-fed. He was pasture-raised and grain-finished. Those are different claims and the finish was the point.
  • Not organic. We hold no organic certification.
  • Not currently for sale. This is a harvest record. Current shares are on the homepage pipeline.
