Farmers
Currently there are over 60 farmers across NSW, Victoria and South Australia that we work with to supply into our Tajima Wagyu program. We focus on these cooler, more temperate climates as this is the environment that we have found Wagyu thrive in. In these areas there is a predominance of Angus female herds which is the preferred Dam for the Tajima Wagyu program. These farmers are chosen for their focus and dedication to animal husbandry, nutrition and superior maternal genetics.
Wagyu calves are raised on grass until approx. 350-400kg. The Tajima program has a dedicated Wagyu Livestock buyer with over 10 years experience, selecting and purchasing Wagyu Feeder cattle.
Genetics
We work closely with each farmer to ensure the Wagyu genetics used are of the highest quality possible. In addition we have developed an exclusive collection of genetics via our specially selected high performing sires- which have been tested to be of superior high marbling performance.
Regular DNA testing of carcasses is done to assist farmers in selecting the best genetics and guarantee consistency of product moving forward. All available information is used to help farmers make the best decisions possible. Tajima is the most famous of all the Wagyu Bloodlines originating from the Hyogo prefecture in Japan. They are generally smaller framed with slower growth rates but produce excellent meat eating quality, with a large eye muscle and superior marbling. They are thought to be ideal for the production of F1 cattle.
