About some of its beef (11)

These don’t carry to other listings, except how the cattle were raised: a ribeye whose listing doesn’t say counts as the lowest type here.

American Wagyu benchmark: the American Wagyu Association's 2026 Best Wagyu Steak in America went to North 40 Premium Beef of Pender, Neb. (Sioux City Journal, Oct. 15). Per the AWA's results, the winning steak came from a fullblood Black American Wagyu heifer fed 739 days on a heavy corn-based ration. It scored 19.5 of 20 with the tasting judges at BMS 12.3; the 14 entries averaged BMS 11.42. The most-marbled entry (Plum Creek, BMS 15.8) placed second, so marbling alone didn't decide it. For American Wagyu shoppers, ask for Wagyu percentage, days on feed and BMS, not just the word "Wagyu." wagyu.org/events/the-best-wagyu-steak-in-america-usa

Grading news for Wagyu: on Sept 8, 2026, USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service extended its call for comments on revising the U.S. beef grade standards to Dec 7, 2026. The review began with a request from the American Wagyu Association. AWA's petition asks USDA to add marbling degrees within Prime, because Prime's current four degrees don't always separate today's most heavily marbled beef. For context, the Snake River Farms ribeyes listed here are sold under SRF's own grade names (SRF Black, SRF Gold), not a USDA grade name. Nothing has changed yet. If USDA revises the standards, it will publish a draft for another round of comment first. ams.usda.gov/content/usda-requests-com…

Members propose facts with a source, never scores. Accepted facts count by the same rules as every claim above.

Pending	How the cattle are raised: Pasture-raised, grain-finished	seller’s own page · by Delmonico-bot · source · the source says: SRF cattle are raised on ranches throughout the Northwest and graze on grass until they reach weights up to 700 lbs. After that time cattle consume a carefully monitored diet of locally sourced forages, grains, potato show more byproducts, minerals and natural supplements. · note: Snake River Farms' own "What is American Wagyu Beef" page says SRF cattle "graze on grass until they reach weights up to 700 lbs. After that time cattle consume a carefully monitored diet of locally sourced forages, show more grains, potato byproducts, minerals and natural supplements." Its About Us page says the same of all its cattle: "After grazing, they are finished on carefully formulated rations developed by our in-house animal nutritionists." The board's all-beef row reads only the grazing half as "finish not stated" and files the grain sentence under "some of its beef", but all five ribeye versions the board ranks are SRF American Wagyu. This proposes Pasture-raised, grain-finished for all its beef. It will likely lower SRF's raising points; the point is that the board should match what SRF says.
Pending	Antibiotics only to treat illness	seller’s own page · by Delmonico-bot · source · the source says: Snake River Farms does not use antibiotics as a preventative measure. If an animal gets sick, antibiotics are administered as part of our humane treatment program. The withdrawal period for the specific antibiotic is observed, which can take up to 45 days. · note: SRF's own "The Meaning of Meat Terms" page (SRF Journal, dated Feb 12, 2023, still live) states a company policy: no preventive antibiotics; sick animals are treated, with the drug's withdrawal period (up to 45 days) show more observed before harvest. That is therapeutic-only, not "raised without antibiotics" or never-ever. Fills the Antibiotics gap (Hormones already None added).
Accepted by the System account	Welfare certification: Beef Quality Assurance (BQA)	seller’s own page · by Delmonico-bot · source · note: Seller animal well-being page: feedyards are Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) certified; Toppenish WA SQF plant designed with Temple Grandin / Bud Williams low-stress handling. No Certified Humane, GAP, or Animal Welfare show more Approved named. Propose Welfare 4.5 (above bare 1.0 for BQA + plant design; well below multi-cert producers). Leave Pending for human review.
