Wagyu cattle.
Wagyu is a broad term which literally means Japanese cattle. While Kobe beef is the term which is used for beef actually raised in the province of Kobe. There are other regulations that beef in Kobe must follow in order to be certified Kobe beef. Wagyu can be raised anywhere in the world and still use the term Wagyu.

please answer this ???
Wagyu cattle are the most common breed that is used for Kobe beef.
Wagyu beef is often considered more tender than Angus beef due to its high marbling and unique fat composition. The intramuscular fat in Wagyu contributes to its rich flavor and buttery texture, making it exceptionally tender. Additionally, certain cuts of beef from the tenderloin, like filet mignon, can also be more tender than Angus, regardless of the breed.
Of course there are both. But for the beef the bulls are castrated and they are called steers. The females are also sometimes used for beef but they are called Heifers. That just means that they have not had babies.

Because they are beef cattle raised so that their muscles can be eaten by humans.
Wagyu cattle are typically slaughtered between 28 to 30 months of age. This age range allows for the optimal development of the marbling that is characteristic of Wagyu beef, which contributes to its rich flavor and tenderness. Some producers may extend this period to achieve even greater marbling, but generally, 28 to 30 months is standard in the industry.

Wagyu beef is best known for beautiful fat marbling throughout the cut of meat that, when cooked, increases desired characteristics like flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. Wagyu cattle, especially those raised in Japan, live some of the most luxurious lives of any livestock animal. Their lives include daily massages and alcohol (beer or sake) mixed in with their food.
