The Wagyu F1 herd is Wagyu x Holstein, the traditional Japanese F1. The Shers were the first breeders in Australia to produce Wagyu X Holstein.
Higher grade Wagyu cross cattle: F2 (75%), F3 (88%) and Purebred (94%) are also produced.
Cattle are grazed on pastures on their Victorian & Southern NSW farms to 18 months of age, and then finished for 400+ days on a specially-formulated Japanese-style barley-based ration. Fullblood cattle are finished for 500+ days.
The ration is developed for gentle slow growth to ensure optimum health of the cattle and the most consistent quality all year around. The rations are all-natural and free from growth hormones and antibiotics.
