Jump-Start Your Herd with Female Packages From Black Dog Ranch and Cattle Company

We pay close very attention to the females we use in our breeding program. We look very carefully at the milk production of the females as this is the most important piece of a calves upbringing with respect to producing a high marbling product. To accomplish this we refer back to the Japanese Wagyu approach of rotational breeding or rotating between sires, and dams that have high marbling characteristics, to high maternal genetics, to larger carcass weights.

These packages also include 1 breeding planning strategy session to answer such questions such as “Now what?”  “What do  I do next?” “How can I continue building a top performing Wagyu Herd?”  “What are the market and consumer opportunities with Wagyu?”

For additional information on packages and pricing feel free to call me at 503-803-3988 or email through our home page.
