THE LOTTERY
The Browsey Acres model is simple: 1. WE raise. 2. YOU select. 3. WE deliver.
For more information on how we raise our meat, check out Meet the Meat.
Taking care of our herd here on the ranch will always be our top priority. As we raise our Wagyu steers over the next couple of years, we intend to learn and evolve our practices in order to expand our operations responsibility. Because of this, our supply will be limited. We are presenting our lottery system as a fair way to offer access to our specially-curated Wagyu boxes.
The Process
The lottery process is simple:
- Once a lottery opens, it will remain open for the allotted time and allow you to enter to purchase our curated Wagyu boxes:
-
- If you enter for 2 or more boxes and win: You are expected to purchase all boxes you win.
- There are limited supplies, so we encourage you to enter for each lottery round as they open.
- No payment is required for entry.
- But to reiterate, if you win: You are expected to purchase all boxes you win.
- A valid email address and mailing address are required to enter, along with a valid cell phone or landline number.
- Winners are chosen at random. There’s no way to promote your position in the lottery process—it’s luck of the draw!
-
Winners will be notified immediately upon selection, 1 day after the lottery closes:
- If you’re selected as a winner, you’ll receive an invoice via email which you’ll have 2 days to submit payment in full. Otherwise, you forfeit your allocation.
- If you forfeit your allocation, a new winner will be notified after the 2nd day. Don’t worry, we’ll reach out to you before your seat is lost. However, forfeiting might possibly prevent your from future access to our lotteries.
- You will receive an email indicating that your access to the box is about to expire. If your access does expire, Browsey Acres will immediately select a replacement winner who will be contacted by a Browsey Acres representative. Replacement Wagyu box purchases will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis, so please try to answer ASAP!
- For now, we are only shipping to all 50 U.S. states.
- Non-winners will still have access to Browsey Acres merch and our single cuts of Wagyu.
We will be holding multiple lotteries on a regular basis, so it’s important to sign up for our emails, follow us on social media, and stay tuned. But don’t worry, we know waiting is tough, so we’ll be releasing single cuts of Wagyu that you can purchase from the site on a first-come-first-serve basis. Be sure to check your email frequently, as you’ll want to know the moment you’re able to access our delicious, one-of-a-kind Fullblood Wagyu.

The Cuts
The cuts below (and accompanying images) is an example of the array of cuts you will find in your box.
Tier 1: Sandan Box
Features Prime Cuts.
Approximately 10 Pounds of Wagyu Beef.
Actual cuts, weights, and prices may vary with each lottery.
2 Ribeye Steaks
A Wagyu ribeye is a cut meant for serious steak lovers. One of the most commonly found cuts of steak, the ribeye comes from the beef rib primal cut. This steak is cut from the same portion where you’ll find the prime rib roast. So needless to say, a Wagyu ribeye is full of intensely flavored, tender, juicy meat—with just the right amount of marbled fat. The muscle in a ribeye steak is the longissimus dorsi (LG). This long muscle runs from the hip bone to the shoulder, and doesn’t get much use, giving the ribeye its succulent texture.

2 Sirloin Steaks (pictured above)
The sirloin steak is the most popular steak cut and can be served in a variety of ways. Sirloin steaks come from the sirloin, located in the rear back portion of the cow. It continues off the short loin where T-bones, porterhouse, and club steaks are also cut. The top portion of the sirloin is slightly more tender than its counterpart, the bottom sirloin. Most cuts labeled solely “sirloin steak” are bottom sirloin, but both are virtually interchangeable in recipes.
Ground Beef (3 pounds)
Ground beef from Browsey Acres' Fullblood Wagyu is not like the trays of ground chuck you pick up from the grocery store. Ground beef made from Wagyu has a rich, buttery texture that you have to taste to believe. But just like commercial ground beef or hamburger meat, you can use Wagyu ground beef in all your favorite ways.
Tier 2: Nidan Box
Features Prime & Secondary Cuts.
Approximately 10 Pounds of Wagyu Beef.
Actual cuts, weights, and prices may vary with each lottery.
2 New York Strip Steaks (pictured above)
The New York Strip steak comes from the short loin subprimal, which is also part of the loin primal. The cow’s loin primal is the main source of quite a few coveted steak cuts, including the filet mignon. The New York Strip steak is one of the most popular cuts sold in restaurants and steakhouses for its hearty appearance and bold beef flavor. In fact, this cut’s huge popularity in New York City steakhouses is what gave it its name.
2 Sirloin Steaks
The sirloin steak is the most popular steak cut and can be served in a variety of ways. Sirloin steaks come from the sirloin, located in the rear back portion of the cow. It continues off the short loin where T-bones, porterhouse, and club steaks are also cut. The top portion of the sirloin is slightly more tender than its counterpart, the bottom sirloin. Most cuts labeled solely “sirloin steak” are bottom sirloin, but both are virtually interchangeable in recipes.
Ground Beef (5 pounds)
Ground beef from Browsey Acres' Fullblood Wagyu is not like the trays of ground chuck you pick up from the grocery store. Ground beef made from Wagyu has a rich, buttery texture that you have to taste to believe. But just like commercial ground beef or hamburger meat, you can use Wagyu ground beef in all your favorite ways.
Tier 3: Shodan Box
Features Family Cuts.
Approximately 10 Pounds of Wagyu Beef.
Actual cuts, weights, and prices may vary with each lottery.
1 Chuck Roast (pictured above)
The chuck roast comes from the shoulder and neck area of a Wagyu steer. The meat of a chuck roast is extremely versatile and can be cut into steaks, chunks, or roasted as it. While the meat is slightly fattier than other Wagyu roasts, it also has a richer taste and a texture that melts in your mouth.
1 London Broil
The term London Broil can be used to describe a type of roast preparation or a specific cut. Our Wagyu London Broil is a top round roast, coming from the upper thigh portion of the hindquarters. It is not a muscle that is heavily used by the animal, resulting in a more tender cut than other portions of the hindquarter. For this reason, top round roasts are traditionally used in the classic London Broil dish, where a hearty beef roast is cooked under an oven broiler.
Ground Beef (3 to 4 pounds)
Ground beef from Browsey Acres' Fullblood Wagyu is not like the trays of ground chuck you pick up from the grocery store. Ground beef made from Wagyu has a rich, buttery texture that you have to taste to believe. But just like commercial ground beef or hamburger meat, you can use Wagyu ground beef in all your favorite ways.

Delivery Details
All of our Browsey Acres Wagyu beef is shipped frozen in dry ice and can be thawed and frozen again up to three times without affecting the quality and taste of the meat.
To maintain quality and taste of the meat, the technique for thawing matters. If you use warm water to thaw the meat, that will affect the taste if you choose to refreeze it. You can read more about how to properly handle frozen Wagyu here.
For now, we are only shipping to all 50 U.S. states.
