Red/Black 100% Fullblood Wagyu Bulls

YYW Y2 G$ Grid Maker: Coming Soon!

Sire: Mayura Itoshigenami Jnr
Black Wagyu - FB41654

Mayura Itoshigenami Jnr is a Australian standout and the foundation of the Mayura Station Fullblood Wagyu herd with thousands of progeny and a litany of impactful sons and grandsons in both Australia and the U.S. According to Mr. De Bruin, "... Junior is the best carcass sire used in the Mayura branded beef operation... consistently grading Ausmeat 9+ with herd leading eye muscle and carcass weight at a young age, his continually excellent performance is reflected in the accuracy of his EBV’s MS +3.3 (97% Accuracy), EMA +8.7 (97% Accuracy) CWT +22kg (98% Accuracy)." Mayura Itoshigenami Jnr has become the benchmark for Wagyu performance outside of Japan and consistently produces superior carcass performance through his progeny.

Dam: JC Ms Umemaru 30
​Akaushi - FB12815

JC Ms Umemaru 30 is a  direct daughter of WSI Umemaru and is the dam of powerhouse Akaushi bulls such as two time open division IMF% Houston Grand Champion JC Rueshaw 75 who sold for $500,000, phenotypic standout JC Rueshaw 92, the lesser known but equally phenotypically impressive JC Rueshaw 90, and last but not least Rueshaw II who syndicated in 2018 for $100,000 after impressive carcass results in F1 through Fullblood. She is a direct daughter of WSI Umemaru bred over a direct daughter of Judo by a Dai 10 Mitsumaru daughter in JVP Kunisakae 124. JC 30 is steeped in foundation genetics through linebred Dai 10 Mitsumaru, the previous #1 Akaushi bull in Japan.
We expect this marriage of the benchmark carcass performance of Black Wagyu paired to the penultimate dam of the Akaushi breed to result in high heterosis, high outcross ability, and an extreme carcass performance bull specifically bred for commercial beef herds and beef-on-dairy operations.

Promising Young Red Wagyu (Akaushi) / Black Wagyu Cross Bulls

JC Rueshawsan 65 (FB 14154)
B3FU, CHSFU, CL16FU, F11FU

This impressive specimen is bred and owned by Jim and Joan Chisholm of Chisholm Cattle Company and has sired the 2016 Houston Grand Champion JC Ruenami 140. JC Rueshawsan 65 is a son of Rueshaw who was the only Japanese national champion bull to leave Japan. His dam is JC Ms Sanjiyasu 018 who was sired by SR Y13 Sanji known for consistently passing his growth to his progeny. The Dam of JC 018 is UKB Kunisakae 124 who was a 50% red wagyu through JVP Kunisakae 124, a daughter of the famed Akaushi bull Dai 10 Mitsumaru.

At 3 1/2 years JC Rueshawsan 65 weighted 2,170 lbs and is quite impressive in person boasting a wide top line, great depth, and sound structure. JC 65 had a birth weight of 70#, a 400 day weight of 1,028#, and mature weight of 2,170#.

We currently have several pregnancies sired by JC 65 we will have hit the ground in the Fall of '17 and Spring of '18.

VBV Popeye (FB 16679)
B3F, CHSF, CL16F, F11F

VBV Popeye is 50% Red Wagyu (Akaushi) / 50% Black Wagyu. This fullblood wagyu bull was sired by WSI Umemaru who is a fullblood Red Wagyu known for his combination of growth and marbling abilities. Popeye's dam is VBV Shigejirou who is a fullblood Black Wagyu which stacks a combination of some of the best foundation genetics available in the U.S. including WKS Shigeshigetani, WKS Sanjirou, JVP Fukutsuru 068, WKS Michifuku, JVP Kikuyasu 400, Yasukane 1682, and Dai 7 Itozakura's son Itofuji 483.

This potent combination of marbling and growth which outcrosses through WSI Umemaru is sure to add growth and maternal traits while increasing carcass traits.

Look for more information to come available on VBV Popeye. We currently have calves scheduled to hit the ground out of Popeye in the Fall of '18.

UKB Mr Kurobeni L6124 (FB 21172)
B3F, CHSF, CL16F, F11F

UKB Mr Kurobeni L6124 comes courtesy of Ultimate Kobe Beef, LLC. Kurobeni is a 5/8ths Akaushi - 3/8ths Black Wagyu bull that stacks some of the best of Akaushi genetics with amazing marbling and growth Black Wagyu genetics combining for ultimate heterosis.

L6124 traces his Akaushi genetics to mainstays of Red Wagyu lore through Shigemaru, Hikari, Judo, Namimaru, Dai 10 Mitsumaru, and the venerable lesser known cows families of Kunisakae and 27 Homare both of which provide outcross potential to the majority of Akaushi genetics available in the US.
On the Black Wagyu side of the family tree, we find the #1 US EPD marbler JVP Fukutsuru 068, JVP Yasutanisakura who ties back to Japanese mainstay Yasukane 1628, former US REA #1 JVP Kikuyasu 400, and finally JVP Fukutomi 990 who ties back to several Japanese top 100 cows such as Mitsufuku & Fukuyo and renowned Japanese foundation bulls such as Kikumi Doi and Yasumi Doi.

Combining Akaushi and Black Wagyu genetics not only provides a way in which to add much needed diversity to both breeds, it also allows for the potential of the best of boths worlds combining the foraging diversity, uniform structure, and maternal upside of Akaushi with the unlimited marbling potential and feed efficiency of Black Wagyu.

Lastly, I have been up close and personal with UKB Mr Kurobeni and he is one of the most impressive bulls I have seen of any breed. I truly believe that bulls such as him will find their way into the mainstream of Wagyu genetics in the near future.
