The Story of Our Beef
Welcome to Pleiades Ranch Oasis, where our 4th-generation ranching family is deeply rooted in the tradition of raising animals the right way. Located in the heart of Campbell, Texas, our ranch is a testament to our commitment to offering you the finest Wagyu Beef, Dorper Lamb, Meishan Pork, and 100% pasture-raised Chicken. Every animal here roams our lush pastures, grazing on nutrient-rich grasses, nurtured by our regenerative farming practices.
Why Wagyu?
In our quest to find the perfect breed that embodies our rich heritage, we discovered the Japanese "Wagyu"—a breed once reserved for emperors and known for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and flavor. At Pleiades Ranch Oasis, we’ve carefully honed our herd's genetics over generations, ensuring that every cut of beef you enjoy is of the highest quality.
Our Unique Approach
At Pleiades Ranch Oasis, we take pride in doing things differently. Our Wagyu cattle are rotationally grazed on the best grasslands Texas has to offer, ensuring they live stress-free lives from birth to harvest. Unlike conventional operations, our cattle never leave the ranch for processing. This means they’re never subjected to the stressful conditions of a meat barn or butcher facility where they might be fed grains or other substances that go against our principles. We raise our Wagyu cattle with meticulous care, from their first breath to the day they are humanely harvested, ensuring they remain GMO-free, antibiotic-free, and hormone-free.

The Art of Raising Wagyu
Our Wagyu cattle are the heart of our ranch, and we treat them with the utmost respect. By following traditional Japanese methods, we create an environment where the cattle are incredibly well-cared for, leading to superior marbling and the rich, tender flavor that Wagyu Beef is famous for. Our cattle graze freely on pasture and are never fed medicated feed, ensuring that the beef you receive is pure, natural, and absolutely delicious.
The Cut That Counts
We take the time to perfect every detail of our beef, including dry-aging it for 21 days to enhance its flavor and tenderness. The careful control of humidity, airflow, and temperature during this process allows the natural enzymes in the beef to break down, creating a product that is not only rich and flavorful but also melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Ranch Life at Pleiades
Life on the ranch is a harmonious blend of hard work, dedication, and a deep respect for our animals and the land. Our calves are born and raised here, spending their days grazing and exploring our expansive pastures. Through rotational grazing, we maintain the health of our grasslands and ensure our cattle receive the best nutrition possible, resulting in the highest quality beef for your table.
A Focus on Black Wagyu
Wagyu is not just one breed but an umbrella term for several Japanese cattle breeds. Our focus is on the Black Wagyu, renowned for producing the most premium cuts of beef in Japan. The intense marbling and rich flavor of Black Wagyu make it the centerpiece of our ranch. However, we also appreciate the unique qualities of other Wagyu breeds, such as the leaner Japanese Brown (Akaushi) and the milder Japanese Shorthorn and Polled breeds.
Transportation & Processing
To preserve the integrity and quality of our Wagyu Beef, we minimize transportation. Our cattle remain on the ranch until the very end, preventing the stress and cortisol spikes that can occur during long transport. This commitment ensures that our beef maintains its exceptional quality from pasture to plate.
Why Wagyu Beef is Better
Wagyu Beef is celebrated not only for its unparalleled flavor and tenderness but also for its health benefits. Studies show that Wagyu Beef has higher levels of monounsaturated fats and oleic acid—beneficial fats that help reduce bad cholesterol levels. With a higher concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids, our Wagyu Beef offers a heart-healthier option that’s as good for your body as it is for your taste buds.
