Wagyu

[Taurus]

Well I see no harm in it doing a small experiement on two or three cows since it's only for our freezer....only if I know how to AI on the cows since I have zero experiences on AI.

Speaking of Angus crosses, do the horns show up on F1 Wagyu crosses?

Where are you located? Surely someone in your general area can AI.

Unless your cows are homozygous polled there is always a chance for horns on the Wagyu calves but why would it matter if you plan to butcher them?

It is easier to AI heifers than cows because there is no calf to mess with.
Also, wagyu sires small calves with less growth capacity than most breeds. This makes for an easy calving to "open" the heifers. While a less growthy calf on a cow is a little sad, because she does not need a supereasy calving. There should be marbling on the crossbreds whether the heifers are angus or not, the sire provides lots of it, and neither of the breeds mentioned are "zero" marbling.

Some pictures of my visit to Briggs Genetics looking at available Tuli genetics, Larry North was the manager at the time.
