We are proud to offer one of the most exciting young Akaushi bulls to be produced in recent years: SOR Big Al. He is a long bodied, powerfully constructed, deep ribbed, and well footed son of Heartbrand Big Al (FB 2998) over UKB Ms Hikari Homare J30E (FB 11800). We are very excited about the potential of this outstanding son of HB Big Al and UKB Ms Hikari Homare J30E.
His remarkable pedigree boasts a combination of linebreeding with a smattering of outcross genetics which are not commonly seen in the US Akaushi herd. SOR Big Al is linebred to Dai 10 Mitsumaru, and Dai 2 Shigenami through Namimaru (half brother of Shigemaru). SOR Big Al's pedigree also boasts outcross genetics through his dam UKB Ms Hikari Homare J30E by original import dam JVP 27 Homare 128 (FB 2114) and No. 20 Homare (FB 374). The J30E maternal line consistently shows to pass on unsurpassed length and structure to progeny of this line. |

JVS Big Al E58 ET is a phenotypic powerhouse and everything we come to expect out of a direct Heartbrand Big Al son. The balance and structure of HB Big Al is on full display here.
Where this pedigree truly turns interesting is through the dam's pedigree. The dam of JVS E58 is ROA Miss Shige who is the full sister to VBV ROA Red Galaxy. Other full siblings to JVS E58's dam include VBV ROA Akahime who was the high selling Akaushi heifer of the 2012 TWA Steaks are High sale selling for $44,000. Additional full sibling and half sibling standouts include VBV ROA Akabana, VBV ROA Akabashi, IWG Ms Judo 82Z, ROA Kalanga Star of Maru, FAC Big Al, and BSF Prince Albert. This dam line pedigree is steeped with performance. |
Y2 Mitsumaru 5401 is a direct son of Heartbrand Big Al who combines Dai 10 Mitsumaru, the previous #1 Akaushi Japanese Akaushi bull, with original import dam Akiko. 5401's dam is none other than Kaedemaru 2, the direct daughter of Tamamaru, a son of original import cow Dai 8 Marunami bred by Dai 5 Tamanami, and Kaedemaru, herself a daughter of previous #1 Japanese Akaushi bull Dai 10 Mitsumaru and Dai San Namiaki Ni. Y2 Mitsumaru 5401 combines the potent cow families of Akiko, Dai 8 Marunami, and Dai San Namiaki Ni with multiple ties to Dai 10 Mitsumaru. The Japanese lines of Shigenami and Mitsutake play prominently in this breeding. |

Kunisakae Maternal Line |
Y2 Chisholm K30-1 ET is a direct son of Rueshaw 930, the only Japanese Grand Champion Akaushi to be exported. Rueshaw brings to the table phenotypical excellence while also upgrading meat quality. The dam of Y2 30-1 is none other that JC Ms Umemaru 30, a direct daughter of WSI Umemaru by JVP Kuniaso 6124F, herself a direct daughter of Judo by JVP Kunisakae 124. Kunisakae was an original import dam combining the famed Dai 10 Mitsumaru and Dai 10 Shigekawa. This exact breeding has produced Rueshaw II who syndicated for $100,000 and has arguably more carcass data than any other next generation US Akaushi bull, as well as JC Rueshaw 75, the 3 time open division IMF% Houston Grand Champion. |
Hikari came to America carrying on the strengths of the dominant Japanese sires Dai 10 Mitsumaru and Namimaru in one package. Hikari sons excel in calving ease and his daughters are some of the heaviest milking Akaushi females in the breed. His impact on the breed will be long lasting. Hikari is F11 carrier.

This is the most versatile foundation bull to make Akaushi cattle more dimensional and thicker. He has proven over the years to make broody daughters and powerful sons. Shigemaru is the paternal brother to Namimaru the famous cow maker who sired Akiko, Namiko, Kazutomo, and Ringo 117. Shigemaru is F11 carrier.
|
Tamamaru is one of the most widely used and predictable Akaushi bulls due to his consistency and his legendary mother, Dai 8 Marunami. There's no other foundation sire that can add the length of body and stoutness of structure. His sire, Dai 5 Tamanami Tokkyu 96 provides an outcross to the rest of the 1994 importation. Tamamaru is a paternal sib to the foundation cow Dai 9 Kobai 73. Tamamaru is F11 free.
|
Big Al was the first bull born outside of Japan in January of 1995. He is almost a full brother in blood to Hikari being sired by Dai 10 Mitsumaru and out of a Namimaru daughter (Akiko). One of the most popular foundation sires for many reasons. The proof is in his progeny. He generates tremendous performance without compromising calving ease and maternal strengths. Big Al is F11 free.

He was produced from the idea of concentrating the blood of FB424 – “Dai 10 Mitsumaru”. His sire, FB2455 – “Hikari” was born on February 25, 1993 in Kumamoto Prefecture and was one of the three Red Wagyu Bulls exported by Mannet for Englewood Farms in 1994. Breedplan shows that “Hikari” is a breed leading sire for 200 day weights, 400 day weights, and 600 day weights.
His dam, FB11873 – “Kaedemaru” was born on January 01, 1995 making her the first Fullblood Red Wagyu born outside of Japan. “Kaedemaruʼs” sire, “Dai 10 Mitsumaru” was proven in Kumamoto and his proof consisted of 73 head, where 41.1% graded higher than BMS of 5, ranking him first in 1998. The average age of the animals in his proof were 22.9 months with an average daily gain of 2.2 lbs. By intensifying the bloodlines of “Dai 10 Mitsumaru”, the progeny from this sire have been spectacular and physically appealing. Only a limited amount of semen is available on this sire. |
