100% Fullblood Wagyu
We began with the end in mind, building a foundational herd with the best Wagyu breeders genetics we could find. Because life’s too short and you’ve worked too hard to waste time on unreliable traits. Take your breeding program to the next level with proven genetics and a program you can count on.
Our Program
Every thriving herd starts with strong genetics.
You’ll find that we do things a little differently around here. We’re a lot more concerned about the impression our product makes than how polished our shoes are. Our team works with certified embryologists and best-in-class geneticists to deliver well-rounded results.
Maternal Traits
We start with only the best, and then intentionally breed for well-rounded maternal capabilities. You can expect excellent milking traits, birth rate, and weaning abilities.
Marbling Score
Our proven bloodlines yield well-balanced percentages and excellent quality marbling.
Growth
We breed a well-balanced carcass with a large frame that yields both quality and quantity of meat to help you maximize the return on your investment.
Disposition
Raised in a stress-free environment to produce good nature with a balanced temperament. Most breeders also find that Fullblood Black Wagyu tend to adapt to new environments better than other breeds.
foundational
genetics
We believe you get out what you put in, which is why we started with the basics. You can expect well-rounded, expertly-bred cattle with the assurance of knowing that’s what we started with. Our foundational herd had the best genetics we could find, sired by names like Sanjirou, Hikari, Shigeshigetani, Michifuku, and Itoshigenami. As we build on those foundations by breeding the best with the best, our herd only gets better with each generation that has followed.
