Wagyu cattle.
A wagyu is any of a group of Japanese breeds of cattle which are predisposed to marbling when made into meat.
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. Both Kobe and Wagyu are well marbled beef but Wagyu a bit less so and is priced less expensively.

Depends where you live and how common Wagyu cattle are in your area. Usually the less common the breed, the more expensive it can be. Wagyu may be cheaper in Japan than in America, for instance. Also, it depends on what a Wagyu producer will sell their animals for, and what gender/sex you are looking to purchase. As such, no exact number nor even a ball-park estimate can be written on here. It is best to contact a few Wagyu breeders near you to see if they're selling what you're looking for and what their asking price would be.

It is pronounced "wah-gyu."
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.
Wagyu is literally just a breed of Japanese cows. The meat itself is generally of much better quality standard, healthier, leaner, and has more omega-3/omega-6 than other types of beef.
The average yearling weight of a Wagyu bovine is around 700 lbs, depending on sex (bulls>steers>heifers). Relatively speaking, these yearling weights are comparable to other similar-sized British breeds like Hereford, Shorthorn and even Angus.
