Depends if your own market/outlet for it ? Sell store or fat in the traditional fashion they waste of time .

We have been eating a wagyu cross for the last year, very good too

Suppose you d have to get them butchered and push them at the farmers market to get the best out of them if you done that with any beef it would pay better

What is a cross breed worth per kilo

 

[mo!]

We took one to market, the computer didn't declare it as wagyu so it sold as a p-2 would expect to. Someone got some nice steak out of it, but not me.

£7.50

I had a couple of Wagyu X steaks from @RobP in the Autumn. Bootiful it was too.?

We would be getting a extra £200/head for wagyu bulls/steers.

We just AI'd a batch of saler heifers. Treated wagyus same as our continentals, male calves killed around 16 months.

In my opinion the meat isn't anything special. We did a family blind taste test with wagyu steaks and morrisons best beef shorthorn steaks. Everyone preferred shorthorn!

The butcher said shoppers just like to tell everyone they're eating wagyu! He's not bothered as long as wagyu on passport.

Got some highlanders for him next.

Just sent our first Wagyu x Jersey in today. Unfortunately, it is all sold so we wont get to compare it with the grass fed Jersey we've got in the freezer (it is perhaps the best beef we have ever had). Sounds like some of the people doing grass fed wagyu off grass for a premium are taking 3 yrs to finish it. Looks like it may be gaining a foothold in NZ.

I've heard before that Jersey beef is very good. Just not a lot in the best places! Is yours well marbled?

 

[dogjon]

Yes it was well marbled. Jerseys are pretty much only surpassed by Wagyus when it comes to intramuscular fat.

There’s some Lincoln red cows and heifers in FG for sale along with a Wagyu bull. I think they are all in calf to him. Might be a nice little project for someone.

was told by a breeder you have to have a strong outlet for burgers as apart from the steaks that is where it goes

 

[Bob the beef]

Tried it once . Never again. Too dear and too fat, and I like a nice bit of fat round my steak

 

[Guiggs]

Apparently Aldi are about to start stocking it!

Once its through a mincer and into a burger you could be eating anything!

As i said before people just want to tell you its wagyu. Its a great brand. People instantly think if its wagyu it will be superior eating quality.

@dontknowanything is a bit of an expert.

Having looked into the breed lately, he definitely managed to hold of some good genetics.
