Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg has started raising cattle on his 600-acre ranch in Hawaii. The billionaire plans to feed the animals macadamia meal and beer, reports Business Insider.
“I started raising cattle at the Koala Ranch in Kauai and plan to produce the highest quality beef in the world. I am raising Wagyu and Angus breeds, which will be fed macadamia meal and beer produced right here on the ranch,” the publication quotes Mark Zuckerberg from his social media post.
According to Forbes, Mark Zuckerberg purchased land on the Hawaiian island of Kauai back in 2014, paying over $100 million for it. Then in 2021, he added another 290 acres to his existing 280-acre plot. His holdings now total about 600 acres and include public beach land.
Zuckerberg stated that his daughters are planting macadamia trees. Significant areas are planned to be planted to provide feed for the cattle, each of which, according to the billionaire, consumes between 2.3 to 4.5 tons of feed per year.
Japanese Wagyu beef is famous for its high marbling and rich flavor. In Japan, each animal is carefully tracked from birth to slaughter to ensure the authenticity of the meat. It is also noted that Wagyu cattle are sometimes fed beer to improve their appetite.
