Who Are We?

Lake Wagyu has been involved in the Wagyu industry since 1997 when, even in those early days, we could see the enormous potential for the breed to achieve great advances in the Australian cattle industry as a whole.  Indeed, there is every reason to believe that Wagyu genetics will improve the entire world beef herd.  (But we’re not given to big claims!)

Our company, Lake Wagyu, began in 1997 with a successful Wagyu F1 (first cross) herd, selling weiner steers for live export to Japan.  We developed an interest in full blood cattle production and soon had a small herd of very good Wagyu full blood heifers and some bulls.  In 2004 we ceased F1 production and began to concentrate on creating a full blood donor herd with the best possible available genetics.  Through embryo transfer we soon had a good sized herd of excellent donor heifers.  Lake Wagyu seedstock has grown from that beginning.  We also had a Secret and it is the application of that secret that stood us in such great stead.  See the “Secrets of Our Success” page to find out why our herd and profits are so abundant…
