Introducing the next generation of MAYURA L0010 – DOUBLE DOWN ON X. This bull was featured in the TOP 20 SELF REPLACEMENT INDEX MALES BORN IN THE USA as of March 2022. DOUBLE DOWN ON X is consistently ranked in the top 1% for marble score and marble fineness, and is maintaining above breed average EBV scores in milk and carcass weight. With bloodlines generated from ITOSHIGENAMI JNR and WORLD K’S SANJIROU, the sire of this bull (MAYURA L0010) is internationally known for outstanding carcass weight and marbling on his own. His progeny are proven to be leaders in the wagyu industry, setting records in EBVs across the world.

The dam of DOUBLE DOWN ON X adds a second dose of marbling traits to this bull’s pedigree from the TBR KIKUTNAMI 4051A (ET) line of KIKUTSURUDOI TF146. KIKUTSURUDOI was a son of the great Japanese bull, TANIFUKU DOI, a top TAJIMA sire in Japan. The sire of TANIFUKU DOI, YASUTANI DOI, is out of Japan’s most famous cow, KIKUTSURU, often referred to as “The Hyogo Cow.” KIKUTSURU is considered the most important cow in the Tajiri line. With pedigrees tracing back to some of the most influential original imports of the Wagyu breed, this bull is ready to produce revered progeny with sought-after marbling traits. The Wilders Wagyu program is excited for this first public offering of DOUBLE DOWN ON X semen as we know his genetics will be highly treasured for generations to come!

MFC HIKARI 2 1218H ET has an elite phenotype! He is full-shouldered, thick-necked, deep-ribbed with lots of expansion, and big-footed. 1218H really stands out amongst other bulls in the pasture. His dam from the MFC program has some of the “who’s who” within the wagyu breed nestled in her pedigree. Her sire, TF148 ITOSHIGENAMI, continues to establish himself as a sire that will increase IMF without limiting growth. The popularity in the ITOSHIGENAMI line lives on in many sons and grandsons of TF148, including the most popular MAYURA ITOSHIGENAMI JNR.

1218H’s dam’s mother combines MFC YASUFUKU JR 7-12, a son of WORLD K’S YASUFUKU JR, a bull known to add fine IMF, and MFC MS ITOZURU DOI 8-1, a daughter of TF151 ITOZURU DOI himself, who is known to add growth and excellent carcass quality! 1218H’s sire, HIKARI 2, a WORLD K’S MICHIFUKU son out of a WORLD K’S OKAHANA dam, combines some of the best of WORLD K’S genetic!. There are very few of OKAHANA’S progeny registered within AWA herd books. HIKARI 2 himself currently only has 24 offspring registered within the AWA herd book. HIKARI 2’s full sister, MFC MS KATO 448B, was one of the top selling females in 2017 at the MFC dispersion sale. HIKARI 2’s and MS KATO’s full sibling was mistakenly castrated over 25 years ago and then finished out and harvested. The resulting superior carcass graded A5!

A great testament to the SUMO CATTLE CO program out of Australia, P526 is stacked with multiple proven pedigrees out of the F154 and D066 lines. Her dam, SUMO CATTLE CO NAMI D066, has the powerful foundational sire, TF ITOSHIGENAMI 148, on both her top and bottom sides, adding the high Tajima throughout P526’s pedigree when coupled with F154. SUMO CATTLE CO FUKU P526 sold for $105,000 AUD as lot one in the 2020 Elite Wagyu Sale, while her embryos recently sold for as much as $5,000 a piece.
