SHER WAGYU
Nick and Vicki Sher’s passion is to produce delicious, tender, juicy Wagyu beef with a superb and distinctive flavour.Their product is the culmination of 23 years of breeding and feeding Wagyu cattle. They have combined the finest Wagyu bloodlines with a carefully managed “conception to consumer” beef operation based at Ballan, central Victoria and Tallangatta Valley, North East Victoria.
Sher Wagyu run both full blood Wagyu and Wagyu cross cattle. Their full blood Wagyu herd is DNA registered with pedigrees on both sides traceable back to Japanese ancestors.
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 Prebred (94%) are also produced.
Cattle are grazed on pastures on their Victorian farms to 20 months of age, and then finished for 400+ days on a speciality formulated Japanese-style barley-based ration.
The full blood cattle are finished for 500+ days. This is a slow-growth ration to ensure optimum health of the cattle and beef of the most consistent quality & delicious flavour. Cattle are HPG (Hormone) free and the ration is all natural, free from antibiotics and growth hormones.
Sher Wagyu has been a finalist & medalist for 5 years running at the national delicious produce awards.
