What is Hook & Cleaver Ranch?

Hook & Cleaver Ranch is a family-run American Akaushi Wagyu brand. Cattle are raised free range with no hormones or antibiotics, hand-trimmed by in-house butchers, and sold direct to customers online with nationwide shipping and at two Southern California retail butcher shops in Temecula and Murrieta.

Where does the beef come from?

Every cut is 100% American Akaushi Wagyu, raised without hormones or antibiotics — never feedlot or commodity beef.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. Hook & Cleaver ships to the contiguous United States. Orders leave the butcher shop frozen, packed in insulated coolers with dry ice.

Is the beef hormone-free and antibiotic-free?

Yes — no added hormones and no antibiotics, ever.

What is American Akaushi Wagyu?

Akaushi is one of the four Japanese Wagyu breeds (Japanese Red). American Akaushi is raised in the United States from Japanese genetics and is known for deep marbling, higher monounsaturated fat, and a beefier flavor than A5 Japanese Wagyu. Hook & Cleaver Ranch cattle are 100% American Akaushi.
