[QUOTE="Jessica06, post: 1364892, member: 5612"] You would absolutely have to get a buyer lined up to sell to in order to make it worth your while. Cow type would be an issue, since they more than likely won't grade well enough to get the higher premiums. We've been using Wagyu semen to AI heifers for some of our customers, and have really been thinking about doing it ourselves and cleaning up with a Wagyu bull. If you wanted to invest a few years into breeding up some percentage Wagyu to sell freezer beef, that would be an option. The one downside is that you'd have to deal with...people! The higher quality Wagyu are actually nice looking animals. They look a lot like a cross between a Corriente and an Angus. Fwiw, I've always heard that the reds were more sought after and had the more desirable fat profile. [/QUOTE]
