Thread: Wagyu calves

Got myself some Wagyu calves, which is a first for us. Not by design they just happened to be available from a new guy who’s moved here from the Hawke’s Bay. Nice and cheap cash deal too.

Applied the rubber band and put them into a nice small house paddock with a daily feed of calf nuts and they seem happy as. Really quiet which is helpful.

So I see that generally this cattle breed is kept for longer than the standard black white or brown white face. Which isn’t a problem for us because we learned that in general leaving our steers until they were rising three-year-olds resulted in much better quality Homekill beef. In fact I’ve fed my black white face beef to Angus farmers and I have commented that they thought it was Waygu, such was the marbling.

Any of you fellas got any of these on your blocks, ready for conversion into your favourite dinner?
