[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1752517, member: 42463"] "WAG" (Japanese) "yu" (beef/cattle/cows) means nothing more than "Japanese beef". There are four main breeds of Wagyu. It is not necessarily well marbled much less "Kobe" (extreme marbling). Breeding a typical "Wagyu" to anything is only going to result in a small calf that will never be "Kobe". Good heifer bulls, but I wouldn't expect much at the sale barn. Maybe good prices advertised in a niche market due to people not knowing but enthused with the hype, but they may be disappointed once they open the packages. There seems to be a lot of confusion associated with "Wagyu"... but if people are breeding for the extreme marbling and get it to show up in crossbreeding it will be interesting. If that happens people will be getting the hype they were expecting. [/QUOTE]
