*** EXPORT ELIGIBLE***
We are very pleased to announce that we now have two bulls placed at Total Livestock Genetics in Victoria for semen collection: Lake Wagyu C87 and Lake Wagyu C86. Their semen is available NOW and accredited for the European Union and most other countries (including USA, China and Uruguay). Flush brothers, they are sired by the famous Michifuku, the long time number one bull for marbling and a bull who is renowned for his consistency. On their dam’s side they are from a daughter of Itozurodoi TF151 from Takeda Farms. TF151 produces large, well balanced calves with good marbling. C87 and C86 will both be the ideal bulls to use over other breeds for a significant lift in marble score and for full blood Wagyu production where a lift in marbling is needed.

These two bulls will be a very valuable addition to the genetics available for export to the EU.
Goshu Itomi!
In 2006, in partnership with Peter Falls from the famous Malton Shorthorns, we purchased an exceptional full blood Wagyu bull. He was bred by Barbara Benjamin at Goshu Wagyu and has outstanding credentials. On top of everything else, he has an excellent temperament – as do his progeny.
Born: 3-3-2002
Registered number: GOSFX 0132
Sire: TF148 – Itoshigenami
Grandsire : Kitateruyasudoi (Westholme 003).
Great Grandsire: Terutani J 2494 TF40
Both Itoshigenami and Westholme 003 are recognised as top marbling bulls. They reliably produce carcases that grade out very well indeed.
GENESTAR RESULTS
Goshu Itomi’s Genestar results are dazzling:
Marbling: M1 = 2 M2 = 2 M3 = 1
Tenderness: T1 = 2 T2 = 2 T3 = 3 T4 = 2
Thus his total Genestar rating is 13 out of a possible 14!! He is currently being tested for Genestar’s new markers and we expect even more stars shortly!
CARCASE RESULTS
A total of 24 steers by Goshu Itomi, bred from ungraded Angus females were feedlot fed. The results:
