breeding

Kobe Cuisine has breeding and feeder cattle supply agreements with selected Wagyu farmers right along the east coast of Australia. Most of these farmers use artificial insemination and embryo transplant technology to specially breed the Wagyu cross cattle. Over 80% of the Wagyu calves are born to Angus and Murray Grey cows in Australia.

Crossing a pure Wagyu bull over a Angus cow results in a F1 calf that contains 50% Wagyu. A second cross is known as a F2 and contains 75% Wagyu and so on. Kobe Cuisine has approximately 60% F1 Wagyu cattle, 30% F2 Wagyu cattle and 10% F3 and pure Wagyu.

All of these calves are reared on natural pastures by quality assured breeders. This ensures Kobe Cuisine can manage and identify the branded Wagyu beef from each ranch right to her customers cool room around the globe.
