Who is Booth Creek Wagyu?
At Booth Creek, we're on a mission to elevate the idea of farm to table, owning the entire process from start to finish. Our unique model of business is made up of different entities, including Booth Creek Wagyu Ranch, Wagyu Feeders, and Meatworks of Kansas, to create a vertically integrated Wagyu beef company. Without these instrumental pieces, we would not be the Booth Creek Wagyu company you know today.
The process all starts with our Ranch. Located in the Flint Hills of Kansas, this makes for the perfect place to raise our herd of Fullblood and F1, also known as American Wagyu. These cattle are raised on the Ranch until it is time to be moved to finish out their growth with our specialized feeding program, Wagyu Feeders.
After being raised on our Ranch, our Wagyu cattle are taken to our specialized Wagyu feeding program at Wagyu Feeders. Wagyu Feeders is ahead of its time with using data and metrics to provide the correct feeding to each individual Wagyu cattle to ensure proper growth before being processed at our processing facility, Meatworks of Kansas.
Once our cattle are fully grown and grain-finished at Wagyu Feeders, they are taken to processing at our facility, Meatworks of Kansas. Meatworks of Kansas provides custom Wagyu beef processing and purveying services, with products undergoing stringent USDA inspections. Once processed, product is sent to our distribution center.
After being processed at our custom Wagyu beef plant, product is brought to our distribution center. This is where all products are stored before being sent to our retail stores in Manhattan, Overland Park, Prairie Village, and Wichita, Kansas. Our distribution center is also where all the product we sell online stays until it is bought. Through this whole process, all of our locations are within 20-mile radius of each other, making for a higher quality of beef that isn't being transported on long trips, which can be extremely stressful for the cattle and affect the quality of the meat.
We pride ourselves on being your local Wagyu beef salesman at Booth Creek Wagyu, putting quality above all else. We are here to elevate America’s standard of quality beef, and we plan to continue to do that for generations to come.

Booth Creek Wagyu is Now Open in Prairie Village
The wait is finally over for the Prairie Village community, our Booth Creek Wagyu Meat Market is now open! This is second location in the Kansas City metro area, the first was opened in Overland Park in August of 2023.
Customers should expect to see similar faces as to those in Overland Park, with our Overland Park retail manager Jeff Jones stepping in to take over this new Prairie Village location. Along with familiar faces, we will still carry different grades of premium, Wagyu beef like our other retail stores. Items include steaks, hot dogs, burger patties, ground beef, roasts, and snack items, sourced from their Wagyu ranch in the Flint Hills of Kansas.
“We are thrilled to bring a second location to the Kansas City metro area,” said Dave Dreiling, Founder and CEO. “Booth Creek Wagyu has had great success in Overland Park, so we decided this was the perfect place to continue bringing the premium flavor of Wagyu to the public.”
Wagyu beef, originally native only to Japan, is world-famous for its marbling, which is what gives this beef much of its tenderness and flavor. This rich, buttery beef has only been raised in the United States since the late 1970s, and more recently has gained popularity. At Booth Creek Wagyu, we pride ourselves on finding the perfect taste for customers and allowing them to dial in on the perfect flavor profile, similar to chocolate or whisky.
This is location in Prairie Village is our fourth retail store. Other retail locations include Manhattan, Wichita, and Overland Park, Kansas. Booth Creek Wagyu is a vertically integrated beef company, meaning we own the process from start to finish. All operations are taken place within a 20-mile radius of each other in the Flint Hills, making for a unique, local foods experience for our customers. Online ordering with shipping throughout the continental United States is available at boothcreekwagyu.com.
