At Abatti Ranch, Prime is just the beginning. Abatti Ranch Prime is USDA Prime American Wagyu, raised in California’s Imperial Valley and selected to the ranch’s Sapphire BMS 4–5 standard. Beautiful marbling delivers the tenderness, juiciness and rich flavor steak lovers expect from Prime, elevated by the distinctive character of American Wagyu.
What makes Sapphire particularly special at Abatti Ranch is its rarity. Thanks to exceptional Wagyu genetics, a carefully developed diet and dedicated cattle care, approximately 60% of current Abatti Ranch cattle grade Diamond BMS 8+, 30% grade Emerald BMS 6–7, and only 10% fall within Sapphire BMS 4–5. That makes this USDA Prime-graded Wagyu a surprisingly rare expression of the Abatti Ranch program.
Three generations of agriculture meet a new generation of American Wagyu. Raised in California’s Imperial Valley under the dedicated leadership of Daniella Abatti, Abatti Ranch carries forward the experience of a third-generation agricultural family while building a new legacy in American Wagyu. Daniella’s commitment to cattle care, nutrition and quality is at the heart of a program producing exceptional levels of marbling.
The Abatti Ranch Prime Porterhouse brings that story to one of America’s great steakhouse cuts, combining the bold, beefy flavor of the New York Strip with the exceptional tenderness of the Filet Mignon. It is a unique opportunity to experience California-raised, USDA Prime American Wagyu at Sapphire BMS 4–5, and a delicious introduction to a Wagyu program where Prime is just the beginning.
