Where the Wagyu Roam
A few yards down the gravel road from the Peeler Farms entrance, Ginger lies in the grass, swatting her tail under the South Texas sun.

Marianna Peeler, the owner of Peeler Farms, has become one of Texas’ premier purveyors of wagyu, a type of cattle originally from Japan that’s coveted for its tender, marbled beef.
