The conditions come from the designated goods of the regional collective trademark: beef from Miyazaki fattened on a feed blended with herbs. There is no breed condition (the holder is a dairy-steer fattening cooperative, but its producer profiles include a Wagyu farm). The holder's own site writes the name as みやざきハーブ牛.
