country. But when herds and ranchers continued to move further west for better grazing lands, the larger stockyard and processing facilities followed. This left Iowa farm-feeders without a place to send their cattle. Rising to meet the new local demand, several small processing facilities began emerging all over Iowa, giving those farmers a place to have their corn-fed cattle processed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-white-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\"><html><head><\/head><body><div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"border-radius:20px;margin-top:0\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exceptional Marbling. Extraordinary Flavor.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the heart of that high-quality cattle country, the Iowa Premium facility has been in operation since 1971. Iowa Premium preserves the heritage and tradition of its agricultural community and is committed to supporting those local, small family farm-feeders. Iowa\u2019s natural topsoil allows these farm-feeders to grow an abundance of nutrient-rich corn to feed their cattle for a longer period of time than in other parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to their corn-fed diet, Iowa Premium\u2019s black Angus cattle supply offers a product with high marbling and a bold, rich flavor. By hand-selecting cattle that exhibit superior characteristics, Iowa Premium produces the consistent quality beef that our Japanese customers demand.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nationalbeef.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/tama-marble_img.jpg\" alt=\"Box of Iowa Premium Angus beef with a vacuum-sealed beef primal placed in front.\" class=\"wp-image-1898 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nationalbeef.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/tama-marble_img.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.nationalbeef.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/tama-marble_img.jpg?resize=300,208 300w, https:\/\/www.nationalbeef.com\/jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/tama-marble_img.jpg?resize=600,417 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group alignfull wp-pattern-footer-contact-bar has-white-color has-nb-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-c3e41732a541d110ac69444616dd9759 is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-877c468d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-heading-3-font-size\" style=\"margin-bottom:0\">Contact National Beef Today!<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:160px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-d445cf74 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a tabindex=\"0\" class=\"wp-block-button__link has-nb-primary-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"\/jp\/en\/customer-service\/contact-us\/\">Contact Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Heritage Of Agriculture As more people moved west, Iowa soon became the #1 cattle-producing state in the country.
