The going rate in Australia for Blackmore Wagyu is $160/kg. So many people are willing to pay that much that David actually has to say "no" when people ask for more.

That had better be some <i>good</i> steak. The guy's approach to farming is interesting, although I'd hesitate to call what he does farming, seems much more like a white-collar management job. I can see ways that this could be an interesting way to help save small farmers, but how big can the market really be? There just aren't that many people who would pay 150-600 a kilo for beef.
