Wagyu authority David Blackmore said this about Michifuku: His sire, Monjiro (DG 0.87 kg, BMS +3.3) is an excellent sire who received an honorable prize in the Fukushima Zenkyo Competition and his calves have received excellent demand in the market for his offspring s meat qualities. His grand sire is Tanishige (DG 0.92 kg, BMS 3.1, Yield Grade 72.7%) who was produced with the inbreeding of Tajiri descent. Tanishige s high rating in yield grade shows an excellent performance to his abilities as being a meat producer. From his well-balanced extended pedigree, Michifuku is an all-around genetic combination of high meat quality, body development and fertility. With Monjiro on the top and the bottom side of the pedigree, she will surely bring great carcass quality to bear. 3426A s dam is LMR Ms Fukutsuru 36H 721T, showed up with very promising 5.59% IMF on her 400-day ultrasound scan.

29 48 SHIGEFUKU J Units of Semen 05/30/1986 FB6538 Black Crescent Harbor Ranch LLC, Oak Harbor, WA KEDAKA 7212 DAI 20 HIRASHIGE 287 JAPANESE COW HAYANOBU J9627 MORIKITA J KITAFUJI J Crescent Harbor Ranch, Oak Harbor, WA Semen In Japan, a recent report shows the Kedaka strain s influence in current Wagyu produced is over 60%. Further, the influence of Kedaka in Black Wagyu now being produced is over three times that of all Tajima strains and sub strains combined. Careful record keeping and extensive testing and analysis have led their direction and progress. Japanese breeders have made progress in functionality and performance as well as carcass improvement. Many have heard that Kedaka progeny have good growth and improve milking ability in Wagyu. Less well known are the other qualities for which the Japanese use Kedaka genetics to improve Wagyu, such as better skeletal quality and better skin and hair quality. Recently a few US Wagyu breeders more aware of the real breeding going on in Japan, sought out, found, and began to use a very special Wagyu bull. A line bred bull that is predictable in his ability to pass onto his offspring genetics vitally needed for the long term improvement of Wagyu in the US. That bull is Shigefuku J1822 (also known as Westholme 005).Shigefuku J1822 is a unique sire among imported Wagyu bulls available to US breeders. Shigefuku is ¾ Kedaka and ¼ Tottori, and is the only bull available in the US with 100% Tottori and Kedaka genetics. Shigefuku was a large impressive bull with strong growth genetics; he weighed 1735# at 23 months. There are no registered Shigefuku offspring in the US that I have not had the opportunity to study. I have also analyzed all those I know of yet to be registered. The Shigefuku progeny are very consistent. Most are among the very most correct Wagyu I have studied. Beyond this I will even say after evaluating thousands of cattle, of all the sires I am aware of, I would not put any other beef sire ahead of Shigefuku for bone quality and bone structure. Shigefuku offspring also have excellent growth rate, calm dispositions, and show me the traits I look for as indicators of improved milking ability. In my opinion, he is not only the most important original Westholme bull to use but, he is more important than all other original Westholme bulls combined for improving Wagyu functionality and structure. Only a limited amount of semen was imported. Written by: Eldon Clawson Semen sells per unit times the number within the package. Semen located at Hawkeye Breeders Adel, IA.

Wagyu herd MONJIRO WORLD K S MICHIFUKU MICHIKO WORLD K S HARUKI 2 FUJIKO WORLD K S OKUTANI Lot 49 Bulls come and bulls go, but some definitely contribute more than others. I am continually searching for superior Wagyu genetics. When I find what I believe are useful needed sires I am pleased to help others be aware of and have access to those sires. Many are aware of a special cow Fujiko, not as many have studied or used the genetics of her offspring. I want to share with fellow breeders what I know about an outstanding son of Fujiko sired by Michifuku this bull is Shidoosha FB4464. Shidoosha was bred by Marcy Hammond and later used by subsequent owners. The best way for me to describe Shidoosha is by comparing his offspring to offspring of one of his brothers who is better known, that brother being Sanjirou an extraordinary bull I greatly value. Like Sanjirou Shidoosha progeny are balanced with good muscling where it needs to be, I find the Shidooshas to be a little larger with more volume and deeper rib. This difference makes sense to me due to the small amount of Itozakura and Kedaka genetics in his dam. In the herds that have Shidoosha progeny they are standouts due to their great volume and performance. If you like high volume easy fleshing cattle with very good performance you will benefit from using Shidoosha. Written by: Eldon Clawson Semen sells per unit times the number within the package.

B JVP YASUTANISAKURA 5 STRAWS OF SEMEN 07/30/1993 FB2102 Black YASUTANI DOI YASUKANE 1682 KANEKO TANIMIZU NAKATANI NAKAYOSHI According to Taiki Otsuka, national certified Wagyu Semen salesman in Japan, The Yasutanidoi line of tajima is considered THE hands down highest quality marbling and best tasting fat of ALL TAJIMA LINES in Japan, and is the most highly sought after luxury line for no expense spared marbling and fat quality, even more than the Nami line. The original Yasutani Doi is also the maternal sire of the Westholm Hongen bull 003 Kitateruyasudoi, and Doi blood is also a major influence of #1 all time marbling sire Fukusuru 068 top and bottom as well. JVP Yasutanisakura 931 also has Dai 7 Itozakara as his maternal grandsire, and that may be why he is also one of the best milk sires in the breed despite significant Doi influence. Extreme marbling and milk in one package anyone? Maybe there is a reason JVP chose to breed such a disproportionally high number of their original foundation cows to 931 and treated him like a special prize of their shipment?
