West Virginia Wagyu

02/16/2025

What is American Wagyu?
Wagyu simply translates to Wa = Japanese and, Gyu = Cow. There are four (4) breeds or strains of Wagyu with only the Japanese Black and Japanese Brown (Kumamoto line) available outside Japan (see below). The Japanese Black and Japanese Brown are referred to as Black Wagyu and Red Wagyu, respectively, by the American Wagyu Association.

In the US they are bred for superior meat quality traits and their superior calving ease ability. Wagyu are also used in terminal breeding programs and crossed with breeds like Angus and Holstein to increase the meat quality of the F1 progeny.

Hadn't herd this one yet.

So God made a Farm Kid

God looked out at the dried, lifeless fields on the 8th day and He thought, I need someone who will ride buddy seat in the combine and sneak all the jelly beans.

So God made a Farm Kid

He said, I need someone to take snacks to the field and hang out in the combine tire while repairs are being made.

So God made a Farm Kid

He said, I need someone who can entertain the farmers when the hours are long and the bushels are few.

So God made a Farm Kid

He said, I need someone who can cut corn on the living room floor and give the best snuggles when the harvest day is over.

So God made a Farm Kid

He said, I need someone whose laugh can melt the heart of the exhausted farm wife, who's been scrambling around - making meals, moving equipment and filling in the gaps.

So God made a Farm Kid

He said, I need someone who can take over this legacy, when farmers become withered and tired; someone who can love this life with all their heart; someone who can carry on the values of the farming way of life.

God looked out in the bountiful crops about to be picked, and He knew that even though the growing season was coming to a close, a new one was just beginning in the heart of a Farm Kid🤍
