Hello!
Just joined, and look forward to taking part in some good discussion . . . and primarily learning.
I am by no means a BBQ expert. I attended my first BBQ competition this Summer, and I started to learn how passionate you folks are about all things BBQ.
I joined the club to learn more about BBQ, and to see what my partners and I can do to become more involved in the world of BBQ.
I am one of five partners in Fellers Ranch, which is based in Freeborn County, MN. We bought a herd of purebred and fullblood Wagyu from a rancher in the state of Wyoming in early 2021.
Ever since then, we have been feeding, raising, processing, and selling Wagyu meat. All of those steps happen here in Freeborn County.
We have found that diehard BBQ connoisseurs are some of our best customers, and I have enjoyed getting to know several of them. We now sponsor a couple of competition teams, and I got to answer a bunch of questions about our business on a BBQ podcast.
Here is a bit more about us:
One of our partners owns Conger Meat Market, and he is very knowledgeable in judging and grading meat, about the different cuts and how they can be different for different uses, processing of the cattle, etc.
Another partner owns and runs the ranch on which our cattle are raised, so he is good at answering questions about the feed rations, ages, etc. of our cattle.
I've also been involved with raising cattle most of my life . . .but, as mentioned above, the BBQ world is somewhat new to me. From paging through this forum, I can see I have lots to learn. I look forward to it!

I'd love to have my own personal Wagyu guru to hit up when I need a brisket or some tri-tip or beef ribs, etc. 
You and your partners are on the frontend of the process. Question, when you say you sell meat are these butchered and ready to cook? It looks like a local operation. Any thoughts of expanding say online? I know a few folks here that most likely check you out.
