[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1585481, member: 498"] As I have said before I have a neighbor with about 150 Waygu cows. The same man has about 750 commercial cows. In those commercial cows there are a fair number of longhorn and corrientes cows. Their calves absolutely shine compared to the Wagyu. Agri-beef is a Idaho company. They own a bunch of feedyards. They also own a kill plant in Washington State that I have been told kills 1,200 head a day. Because of their location here in the PNW they have been big in exporting to Japan. I know a trucker who hauls into their kill plant. He told me they kill nothing but Waygu on Friday. That means there are a lot of Wagyu on feed in their yards. But I have never seen them at the sale or advertised anywhere. The calves must all get sold private treaty. On the other hand looking at those Wagyu calves of the neighbor's they would have to pay a pretty big premium for it to work out. That and the neighbor's comment of, "it will work out one of these days". I also note that he doesn't turn Wagyu bulls out with the commercial cows. If there were a viable market for the crossbreds he most certainly would have the ability to make them. [/QUOTE]
