Australian Wagyu Association

Australian Wagyu Association Wagyu offers the finest quality of beef available in Australia. Highly prized for the exceptional meat quality and exquisite marbling!

Wagyu is a unique breed that has amongst its key attributes, other than the exquisite marbled beef quality, a high calving ease, excellent (docile) temperament, resilient in the feedlot and has a high (dressing percentage) carcass yield. Most important is the economic value derived from each animal, which is currently 100% more than pastoral cattle, sold at either the farm gate or as a long fed ca

rcass. Wagyu breeding requires patience as it takes time to build up a viable herd and end markets, this then becomes your own economic moat.
