Reply to comment by faptainfalcon in TIL that a 26-story skyscraper pig farm was built in China's Hubei province, and has the capacity to slaughter 1.2 million pigs a year. by DukeMaximum

As I understand it, “Wagyu” specifically implies that it was not raised in Kobe nor via the Kobe style. Wagyu is just the base breed of cow, and they can be raised however the individual farm wishes.

You're right I forgot, it's been a couple years. What I was describing was A5 Wagyu imported from Japan (hence $200/lb from a high end butcher shop). Fortunately I have a friend who's a great chef so I don't have to go to a restaurant to eat it because I'm too scared to cook it myself lol.
