WAGYU SHOW - 9TH ZENKYO - TOTTORI

I WILL CLEAN UP THESE CAPS LOCK SOON - PLEASE EXCUSE...

THE MOST INTERESTING PART FOR ME WAS THE EXAMINATION OF THE PEDIGREES - THERE WERE NUMEROUS YASUFUKU AND YASUFUKU SONS THAT WERE MATED TO KITAGUNI 7-8. SOMETIMES THE SIRE WAS YASUFUKU AND THE DAM WAS KITAGUNI 7-8 AND OTHER TIMES (IN THE TYPICAL ROTATION SYSTEM)THE PATTERN WAS REVERSED, WITH 7-8 BEING THE SIRE AND YASUFUKU THE SIRE OF THE DAM.

OTHER POPULAR SIRES SEEMED TO BE DAI NANA ITOZAKURA SONS. THE JAPANESE ARE NOW FAVORING THE LARGER SIZED BULLS - THE MARBLING SEEMS TO BE INHERENT IN THE GENETIC MAKEUP - AND THEY ARE PAID WELL FOR THE SIZE THAT THEY GET FROM THE BIGGER BULLS.

THE WAGYU LOOKED IN GREAT CONDITION - SHINY COATS AND AND FULLNESS THAT DID NOT FAVOR A SLIGHT RUMP AND A SWAYED BACK.

TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELVES. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO FOR ANOTHER REASON, WHICH I DO NOT YET UNDERSTAND - I HOPE TO POST THEM WHEN I GET TO KYOTO.
