[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1765314, member: 498"] My neighbor raises purebred Wagyu to sell as breeding stock. The F-1 calves come from his commercial heifers which he breeds to Wagyu for calving ease. I have no idea how they look once put on feed because he sells them before that. I do know that as calves and short yearlings they look terrible. Compared to his commercial Angus and Charolais cross calves of the same age standing on the other side of the fence...... they look even worse. Much of the BLM will have multiple owners on the same area. So your neighbor's bull might very well breed your cow. Everyone tries to keep good bulls. Neighbor told another guy that he could turn out Wagyu bulls. Told the other guy he would get a premium for any F-1 Wagyu calves. The other guy said it isn't enough to make up for the light weight and the hassle keep new born calves alive. It went back and forth. The other guy said my FIL has some real ugly Brahma cross bulls I could turn out. The two of them decided to stick with well bred Angus and Charolais bulls. [/QUOTE]
