[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1389722, member: 12607"] I've toyed with the idea of breeding some SimAngus, AngusXShorthorn (and now have a few BraunviehXAngus heifers coming along) cows in my herd - all selectively bred for above-average marbling/ribeye - to Wagyu sires. But... I suspect it would be less financially-rewarding for me than using a good 'growth' bull of almost any beef breed. My impression is that the Wagyu are slow-growing, and you'd better have a niche market or direct to consumer marketing plan that's going to command a significant premium for those halfblood Wagyu calves; marketing them through the local salebarn isn't going to reward you for the potential carcass quality - in fact, you may take a hit; if you look at most of the Wagyu bulls... they look kinda like a dairy bull - noassatall - but I've never seen halfblood calves - they may be super!
