Welcome to the world of Wagyu, a world too<br />

long shrouded in mystery and myth.<br />

This guide will help to make known the story of<br />

a fantastic breed of cattle. You’ll be introduced<br />

to the lineage of present-day Wagyu, allowing<br />

you to make breeding choices that will pay<br />

impressive dividends.<br />

<strong>The</strong> study of pedigree is important in any breed,<br />

but particularly so for Wagyu. By understanding<br />

the Wagyu breeding history, you will gain insight<br />

into how breeders have managed to bring the<br />

Wagyu herd to the pinnacle of meat quality today.<br />

We believe that this in-depth knowledge of<br />

Wagyu pedigrees will help to guide you in making<br />

valuable decisions affecting and refining the<br />

quality of your herd. <strong>The</strong> more you learn about<br />

this remarkable breed and move beyond mystery<br />

and myth, the more you will want to incorporate<br />

its superior genetics into your herd’s profile.<br />

<strong>The</strong> main sire lines exported from Japan in the<br />

1990s were Tajima (or Tajiri), Fujiyoshi (or<br />

Shimane) and Kedaka (or Tottori).<br />

Tajima sires are known for fine marbling<br />

and excellent beef quality, along with a<br />

smaller frame size, and a somewhat lower<br />

rate of growth. Tajima sires from the Hyogo<br />

Prefecture produce the only genuine Kobe<br />

Beef. Fukutsuru 068, Michifuku, Sanjirou,<br />

and Kitateruyasudoi J2810 (ETJ 003) are<br />

some of the elite marbling Tajima sires that<br />

provide the base of the <strong>Lone</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong><br />

Wagyu herd.<br />

Fujiyoshi sires produce well-balanced cattle<br />

that present larger frame size, good growth,<br />

and strong mothering abilities, though with<br />

somewhat coarser marbling. Dai 7 Itozakura<br />

J65 is the most famous sire in this line, and<br />

his descendants — TF Itomichi 1-2, Kitaguni<br />

Jr., and Itoshigefuji TF147, to name a few —<br />

are now used in the <strong>Lone</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong><br />

breeding program.<br />

Kedaka lines from the Tottori District descend<br />

from the sire Kedaka J7212. <strong>The</strong>y exhibit<br />

good growth and larger frames, and are<br />

known for their fine, loose skin. <strong>The</strong> most<br />

influential Kedaka sire is Dai 20 Hirashige<br />

J287, whose semen is still used in Japan,<br />

though it is extremely rare and very expensive.<br />

His son, Hirashigetayasu (ETJ 001) J2351, is<br />

being used at <strong>Lone</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong>; another son,<br />

Hirashigekatsu, is currently one of the most<br />

popular sires in Japan.<br />

<strong>The</strong> premier Japanese breeder, Shogo Takeda,<br />

describes the classic Japanese rotation<br />

breeding plan of mating a high-marbling<br />

female to a sire known for size or frame,<br />

and then back-crossing to a marbling sire as<br />

Modoshi Kohai, which produces a large<br />

animal of good marbling, milk production,<br />

and calf-raising potential.<br />

<strong>Lone</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong> wholeheartedly embraces this<br />

Wagyu breeding philosophy. We started our<br />

Full Blood Wagyu herd with selected Tajima<br />

bloodlines and are now out-crossing to both<br />

the Dai 7 Itozakura and Dai 20 Hirashige<br />

lines in order to add size and frame, with the<br />

intention of back-crossing those females to<br />

high-marbling sires.<br />

JVP Fukutsuru 068<br />

JVP Fukutsuru 068 is perhaps the most<br />

famous Wagyu sire in U.S. history, and<br />

certainly the prime example of Tajima<br />

bloodlines. He leads all sires in marbling<br />

in the 2006 U.S. Wagyu Sire Summary<br />

(published by Washington State University),<br />

outpacing all other Wagyu sires by a broad<br />

margin. He also headed the previous Sire<br />

Summary, published in 2001.<br />

Japanese Venture Partners (JVP) imported<br />

Fukutsuru 068 into the United States in 1994.<br />

Fukutsuru 068 has a current marbling EPD<br />

of +.752, with the next highest bull assigned<br />

+.534. And his lineage is a star-studded<br />

affair: Fukutsuru 068’s sire is the offspring of<br />

Yasumi Doi J10328 and Kikutsuru J978542,<br />

two of the most famous Japanese Wagyu.<br />

(Kikutsuru J978542 was nicknamed the<br />

Hyogo Cow, Hyogo being the home prefecture<br />

of genuine Japanese Kobe Beef.) Fukutsuru<br />

068 traces twice to Kikutsuru J978542, who<br />

was born in 1967 and gave birth to 16 calves,<br />

seven of whom became famous.<br />

Fukutsuru 068 also traces twice to<br />

Yasumi Doi J10328, the sire of Yasutanidoi<br />

J472 and Monjiro 11550, and grandsire<br />

of Yasufuku 930.<br />

Yasumi Doi J10328 is considered to be one of<br />

the most prominent members of the Tajima/<br />

Tajiri line, cattle descended from Tajiri, a<br />

sire born in the Mikata District of Hyogo<br />

Prefecture. <strong>The</strong> Tajiri is an influential sire<br />

line to which almost all strains within Hyogo<br />

Prefecture are related. This lineage is known<br />

for good temperaments, demonstrated by its<br />

large number of influential sires. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

also express smaller frames and a lower<br />

growth rate.<br />

With these bloodlines and lineage, it is no<br />

wonder that Fukutsuru 068 has been proven<br />

by Washington State University as the number<br />

one marbling bull in the Sire Summary.<br />

Michifuku<br />

Michifuku is thought to be the best<br />

carcass bull ever to leave Japan. Even with<br />

smaller framed offspring, his progeny’s<br />

carcass characteristics are superb.<br />

Michifuku was formerly the number<br />

one marbling bull in the U.S. Wagyu Sire<br />

Summary, and consistently ranks second<br />

in ribeye area (REA) and fourth in<br />

backfat thickness (EPD).<br />

Michifuku’s sire, Monjiro 11550, is linebred<br />

to Tajima J105, great-grandsire of Yasumi<br />

Doi J10328. Michifuku’s dam, Michiko<br />

J655635, was sired by Tanishige 1526 and<br />

grandsired by Yasutanidoi J472. Yasumi Doi<br />

J10328 and Yasutanidoi J472 are considered<br />

to be two of the most famous of the Tajima/<br />

Tajiri line.<br />

Yasumi Doi J10328 sired Yasutanidoi<br />

J472, as well as Dai 2 Yasutsuru 774, sire<br />

of Fukutsuru 068. Yasumi Doi J10328 also<br />

grandsired Yasufuku 930, sire of Yasufuku<br />

Jr. and grandsire of Takazakura. Yasumi<br />

Doi J10328 appears twice in Michifuku’s<br />

pedigree. This lineage supports Michifuku’s<br />

high standing in the U.S. Wagyu Sire<br />

Summary.<br />

According to World K’s Group data on<br />

Michifuku’s progeny in Australia:<br />

12,000 F1 calves were fed 540 days<br />

[ADG = 2.31 lbs].<br />

85 percent graded 9+ on the Australian<br />

scale [grading above 12.9 on a numerical<br />

scale, which is three full grades above the<br />

highest USDA grade of Prime].<br />

15 percent graded 7-9, on a numerical<br />

marbling scale 10-12.9. [On the USDA<br />

scale, numbers 7-9 would be considered<br />

Prime+ and Prime++.]<br />

Descendants of Monjiro 11550 produced<br />

carcasses that sold at auction for $16,000,<br />

$18,000 and $21,000 at the 2007 All-Japan<br />

Sanjirou<br />

Sanjirou has the potential to become<br />

one of the most influential sires of the<br />

Tajima line, having great meat quality,<br />

large ribeye area, thick rib and high<br />

yields. In the 2006 U.S. Wagyu Sire<br />

Summary, Sanjirou ranks third highest in<br />

marbling, behind Fukutsuru 068,<br />

but ahead of his sire, Michifuku.<br />

Sanjirou is a linebred Yasumi Doi<br />

J10328 bull. Yasumi Doi J10328 sired<br />

Yasutanidoi J472 and grandsired both<br />

Fukutsuru 068 and Yasufuku 930.<br />

Sanjirou is out of the prominent<br />

Japanese cow Suzutani, who represents<br />

one of the most potent bloodlines in<br />

Japan. Her great-grandsire, Yasumi<br />

Doi J10328, is widely known for his<br />

ability to produce excellent meat<br />

quality and size. Suzutani’s sire was<br />

Tanishige 1526, whose progeny test<br />

results demonstrate that he has heritable<br />

traits with a BMS score +3.1 (above<br />

the national average of +2.1) and a<br />

yield grade of 72.7 percent.<br />

Suzutani’s mother was Suzunami and<br />

her grandsire was Shigeshigenami J10632,<br />

who, though largely unknown in the United<br />

States, has a reputation for producing the<br />

best genetics in Japan (see Shigeshigetani).<br />

Sanjirou’s genetic background suggests that<br />

he will have ideal meat production efficiency,<br />

with great meat quality, large REA, thick rib<br />

and high yield rate.<br />

<strong>The</strong> World K’s Group has proven this<br />

genetic prediction accurate, as reflected<br />

by the collection of his progeny data:<br />

6,800 F1 calves fed 540 days<br />

[ADG = 2.09 lbs].<br />

88 percent graded 9+ on the<br />

Australian scale [grading above 12.9<br />

on a numerical scale, which is three<br />

full grades above the highest USDA<br />

grade of Prime].<br />

12 percent graded 7-9, on a<br />

numerical marbling scale 10-12.9.<br />

[On the USDA scale, numbers 7-9<br />

would be considered Prime+ and<br />

Shigeshigetani, while virtually<br />

unknown in the United States<br />

and Australia, represents a very<br />

powerful genetic strain of the<br />

Wagyu breed.<br />

Shigeshigetani is Sanjirou’s<br />

half-brother, but more closely<br />

bred than most half-siblings:<br />

Shigeshigetani’s mother is<br />

Suzutani, Sanjirou’s dam. And<br />

Shigeshigetani’s sire is Haruki II<br />

(half-brother of Michifuku, sired<br />

by the same bull, Monjiro 11550).<br />

As noted earlier, Suzutani’s<br />

maternal sire was Shigeshigenami<br />

J10632, and her maternal<br />

grandsire was Shigekanenami,<br />

the bull that made the Kumanami<br />

line famous. <strong>The</strong> Kumanami<br />

family is known to have extremely<br />

potent marbling genes. (<strong>The</strong>re are<br />

three key families in the Tajima<br />

line: Nakadoi, Okudoi and<br />

Kumanami.)<br />

According to World K’s<br />

is listed as the sire of the three<br />

highest marbling sires in Japan:<br />

number one, Yasufuku 165-9;<br />

number two, Fukusakae; and<br />

number three, Yasuhira.<br />

In the ninth Zenkyo (2007<br />

All-Japan Wagyu Competition,<br />

which is held once every five<br />

years), Yasufuku J930 bloodlines<br />

dominated the contest, siring one<br />

champion and grandsiring two<br />

others. Yasufuku J930 was also the<br />

maternal grandsire of two<br />

runners-up and grandsire of<br />

the other runner-up. Yasufuku<br />

J930’s name appeared on all three<br />

runners-up.<br />

Yasufuku J930 is linebred to<br />

Yasumi Doi J10328.<br />

Offspring of Yasufuku J930<br />

produced one carcass that sold at<br />

auction for $97,000 at the 2007<br />

DAI 7 ITOZAKURA J65<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dai 7 Itozakura line, begun<br />

in 1970, is derived from Fujiyoshi<br />

cattle in Okayama Prefecture and<br />

known widely for frame size, good<br />

weight gain and gentle nature.<br />

This line is quite popular and<br />

used everywhere in Japan. Dai 7<br />

Itozakura J65 was so famous, in<br />

fact, that his picture was placed on<br />

a Japanese telephone card.<br />

His renowned sons and grandsons<br />

include Itomichi J1158, Kitaguni<br />

7-8 and Itozurudoi TF151. When<br />

these bulls are crossed with highly<br />

marbling cows, the Itozakura line<br />

bulls will enhance growth. <strong>The</strong>n<br />

when the cows are mated back to a<br />

highly marbling Tajama bull, the<br />

results are larger framed animals<br />

that marble extremely well. This<br />

rotation breeding plan is known as<br />

Modashi Kohai in Japan.<br />

KITAGUNI 7-8 J1530<br />

Kitaguni 7-8 J1530 is a significant<br />

Fujiyoshi/Shimane sire, a son of<br />

Dai 7 Itozakura J65. Kitaguni 7-8<br />

J1530 sired the Grand Champion<br />

at the seventh Zenkyo held in<br />

Iwate Prefecture in 1997.<br />

Kitaguni 7-8 J1530’s name<br />

figures prominently in current<br />

Japanese pedigrees, often crossed<br />

with sons or daughters of the<br />

Yasufuku line of Wagyu. <strong>The</strong><br />

quality of the meat produced by<br />

Kitaguni 7-8 J1530 is considered<br />

to be consistently excellent.<br />

Kitaguni 7-8 J1530 was the<br />

maternal grandsire of record for<br />

carcasses that sold for $32,000<br />

and $26,000 at the 2007 All-Japan<br />

Wagyu Competition.<br />

ITOZURUDOI TF151<br />

Itokitazuru J1081<br />

Dai 7 Itozakura J65<br />

FB226<br />

DOB 03.12.1991<br />

Itozurudoi TF151’s grandsire<br />

is Dai 7 Itozakura J65 and his<br />

maternal grandsire is Yasumi Doi<br />

J10328. He is known as a fabulous<br />

composite bull in the industry.<br />

Itozurudoi TF151 is 50 percent<br />

Tajima, 25 percent Fujiyoshi, and<br />

25 percent Kedaka. He has<br />

an extremely big frame, weighs<br />

2,420 lbs., carries early maturing<br />

traits that produce great Full<br />

Blood mothers with excellent milk,<br />

and is the best marbling bull of the<br />

Fujiyoshi bloodlines.<br />

Notes<br />

According to noted Wagyu expert,<br />

Shane Lindsay, Itozurudoi TF151<br />

beat Michifuku in every statistical<br />

category of comparison in Full<br />

Blood Wagyu carcasses. By the<br />

time his progeny were tested<br />

and his value was discovered,<br />

Itozurudoi TF151 was deceased,<br />

leaving a very limited supply of<br />

semen.<br />

<strong>Lone</strong> <strong>Mountain</strong> Ranch has over 20<br />

pregnancies by Itozurudoi TF151<br />

due in 2007 and 2008; the resulting<br />

bulls and heifers will become a<br />

significant supplement to our<br />

Tajima-based herd.<br />

DAI 20 HIRASHIGE J287<br />

Kedaka J7212<br />

Housan J5150<br />

Dai 20 Hirashige J287 is an<br />

important sire of the Kedaka line,<br />

which was formed in the Tottori<br />

Prefecture from descendants of<br />

the sire Kedaka born in 1959. <strong>The</strong><br />

Kedaka/Tottori strain of Wagyu<br />

has the genetic potential for higher<br />

growth rates combined with high<br />

meat quality, as well as good<br />

conformation, temperament, and<br />

fertility. Kedaka bulls are known<br />

for their fine hair and loose skin.<br />

Notes<br />

Dai 20 Hirashige J287’s semen<br />

is still used in Japan, although in<br />

scant quantity, and the price per<br />

straw is well in excess of $1,000.<br />

He was awarded the highest honor<br />

in Japan of Ikushu-Toroku.<br />

his maternal grandsire is<br />

Takarakatsu (Dai 8 Kedaka x<br />

Kedaka x Kedaka) out of a dam<br />

by Fukuhana 5. Hirashigekatsu’s<br />

pedigree is saturated with<br />

Kedaka bloodlines.<br />

Hirashigekatsu is a unique bull,<br />

having ability in size, growth,<br />

ribeye and marbling. He is<br />

currently the most fashionable<br />

and admired bull in Japan.<br />

Hirashigekatsu was a winning<br />

pedigree throughout the most<br />

recent Zenkyo in Tottori in<br />

2007. His genetics are currently<br />

unavailable outside of Japan.<br />
