According to the Economic Times, Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg keeps a herd of Wagyu and Angus cattle on his Ko'olau Ranch on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, part of a venture that reportedly got under way around 2024 to research how genetics and diet affect the animals. Among the diet's unusual elements: macadamia nuts harvested on the same property, used as a high-calorie feed supplement, and home-brewed beer, which Zuckerberg has said he offers the herd alongside plain water at room temperature so the animals can pick between the two. He calls the whole undertaking a private hobby rather than a business, with the explicit aim of producing what he has termed the world's best beef. Zuckerberg's Kauai land purchases date back to 2014, and the ranch is reported to be worth about $300 million. It has also drawn attention over its reported proximity to a Native Hawaiian burial site.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The account records specific inputs, macadamia nuts and brewed beer, and Zuckerberg's own framing of the ranch as a private, non-commercial pursuit of higher-quality beef, without independent detail on how the genetics and nutrition research is conducted or measured. The reported proximity to a Native Hawaiian burial site sits in the same account, with nothing recorded about what has followed from it. Published results from the genetics and nutrition study the project reportedly began around 2024 would be the first documented outcome from the ranch, beyond the account of how the cattle are fed.
