Beef is very plentiful on Hawaii - there is a large amount of history about the paniolos, basically cattle ranchers on the Big Island and Maui. Parker Ranch, on the big island, is a huge supplier of beef. http://parkerranch.com/
Now it's fifth, IIRC.
Also interesting, the paniolos were the first US cowboys AND they have unique rodeo sports (including my favorite - ranch mugging).
