Beautiful cuts of meat, but these were nowhere close to 7-8 pounds. In fact, both of them came in under four pounds each. Somewhat disappointing considering what was claimed in the description.

Wagyu Grading System
Carmelita Meat Company's exclusive grading system represents our commitment to premium Wagyu quality. Each grade reflects the exceptional marbling that defines the Wagyu experience: C20 features hints of buttery flavor with exceptional tenderness (20-29% intramuscular fat), C30 delivers maximum richness and world-class steak experience (30-39% intramuscular fat), while our rare C40 offers truly extraordinary beef comparable to Japanese Wagyu (40%+ marbling). All Carmelita boxes come standard with our exceptional C20 grade, but customers can elevate their experience by upgrading to C30 or C40 for those special occasions that demand nothing but the finest beef available.
C20: Hints of buttery flavor to go with exceptional tenderness. Intramuscular fat percentage of 20-29%.
C30: Maximum richness, tenderness, and buttery flavor create a world-class steak experience. Intramuscular fat percentage of 30-39%.
C40: An elusive class of truly extraordinary beef, consistent with the quality found in Japan and rarely found in America. Intramuscular fat percentage of 40%+.
