Your exclusive supplier of first-class Wagyu meat from the picturesque Schwarzenegg region in the Bernese Oberland.
Our dream and its realization
Thomas Mühlemann had a dream: to produce the best meat in the world. After two years of preparation, our first pure-blooded Wagyu bull calf, "Theis," was born on December 26, 2007. The second calf, "Tyara," followed in February 2009, the foundation of our Wagyu herd, which has been growing steadily ever since. Today, our herd consists of 20 mother cows, 24 oxen and 26 calves.
Tradition and dedication
Our farm is run by Thomas Mühlemann, the fourth generation, who breeds around 46 Wagyu cattle with great passion and dedication. Thomas has been devoted to Wagyu breeding for 17 years. Inspired by the unique quality of Kobe beef, he began the ambitious project of bringing Wagyu cattle to Schwarzenegg in 2006. The path was not always easy, but today our herd has grown to an impressive 46 animals.
A family business with heart
Our company is run as a family business. Both Thomas and his children Yanik and Emily help out actively. Together we are committed to the welfare of our animals and the quality of our meat. Every animal is lovingly cared for and looked after in the family business. Our Wagyu herd is part of the family, which is why their well-being is particularly important to us.
Uniqueness of Wagyu beef
The even fat marbling of Wagyu cattle ensures incomparable tenderness and a slightly nutty taste that will delight every meat lover. Wagyu meat is also characterized by a high proportion of unsaturated, healthy fatty acids.
Animal welfare and feeding
Our Wagyu cattle live in animal-friendly free-range conditions and are fed grass, hay and minerals - a secret to the incomparable taste of our meat. We attach particular importance to gentle and animal-friendly husbandry that enables our animals to live a stress-free and species-appropriate life. Since January 2020, a new round-arch hall with BTS (particularly animal-friendly stable systems) has been on our farm. Our animals spend the whole year outdoors and can lead a species-appropriate life in the herd. All cattle keep their horns and are allowed to wear them proudly. We guarantee that every animal was born on our farm and is allowed to live a species-appropriate life in the herd until it is slaughtered. It is important to us to look after each individual animal.
Stress-free slaughter and careful processing
To ensure stress-free slaughter, the animals are taken to a small slaughterhouse just a few kilometers away. After slaughter, the halves of the body hang for 28 days before being sorted and vacuum packed. We inform our private and catering customers in advance so that most of the meat can be sent chilled to the meat aficionados.
Sustainability and complete recycling
Sustainability is a key issue for us. We ensure that our animals are slaughtered and processed in the local butcher's shop in the neighboring village. We attach great importance to using the entire animal, which enables us to fulfill special orders such as bones for sauces or oxtail for soups. Our oxen are not ready for slaughter until they are four to six years old at the earliest. Our "Best Age" cows, which have calved several times and offer a particularly fine and flavorful meat quality, are particularly rare but of outstanding quality.
our range
Our range includes a wide variety of products: fillet, sirloin, entrecôte, whole rump, steak, roast, dried sausage, minced meat, hamburgers, sausages and much more. Order conveniently through our online shop and have our high-quality meat delivered vacuum-packed and chilled directly to your home. Of course, you can also buy the meat directly from us on the farm - we look forward to your visit!
Dairy farming and cheese production
In addition to Wagyu breeding, we continue to operate a traditional dairy farm with 15 dairy cows. We deliver our milk to the Chrüzwäg Chäsi in the community, which uses it to make cheese, yoghurt, cream and Ziger.
