WSI Red Rum - FB16443

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

WSI Red Rum represents one of the most genetically rare combinations available anywhere in the Red Wagyu breed outside Japan - a direct son of Judo, the 1976 import widely regarded as the best marbling of all original Akaushi sires, out of WSI Dai 2 Momigi, a direct Momigimaru daughter from the Wagyu Sekai Naomi cow family. This is a genuine union of two genetic threads that the vast majority of the Akaushi world can never access: the pre-1994 Judo marbling bloodline and the Canadian Naomi-Namimaru foundation cow family, held and carefully preserved for over three decades by the Kurosawatsu family at Wagyu Sekai in Ontario.

Sire: Judo - 1976 Foundation Import, Breed's Premier Marbling Sire
Judo arrived in North America in 1976 alongside Rueshaw 430 as one of only four Wagyu imports of that era. Judo is considered the best marbling of all the original Red Wagyu/Akaushi sires. He is a genuine outcross to the bulls imported in 1994, his semen is highly desired and in limited supply.His semen commands $5,000 or more per straw when available. Judo's daughters are widely credited with foundational influence across North America and Australia - JVP Ms Homare J 30E and J 31E, his daughters through the JVP import cow 27 Homare, are present in the vast majority of Akaushi herds worldwide.

Dam: WSI Dai 2 Momigi - Naomi x Namimaru Cow Family, Wagyu Sekai
WSI Dai 2 Momigi is a direct daughter of Momigimaru - the calf born in North American quarantine from the 1994 foundation import cow Naomi, sired by Namimaru (the Japanese proven sire who ranked second in the Kumamoto proof with 29.6% of his 71-head progeny exceeding BMS 5). Naomi was one of the nine original 1994 Kumamoto foundation females, and the Naomi-Momigimaru cow family was taken to Canada by the Kurosawatsu family after quarantine and carefully maintained at Wagyu Sekai for decades. WSI Dai 2 Momigi is the second Momigi-prefix cow from this line at Wagyu Sekai - a carefully curated daughter retained because of her direct genetic value to the program. This makes WSI Red Rum a son of Judo out of a granddaughter of Naomi - a combination of 1976 and 1994 foundation genetics that virtually no other living animal in the breed can claim.

The Cross and Its Significance
This is a profoundly outcross animal. Judo predates the 1994 Al and Marie Wood shipment entirely, and the Naomi-Momigimaru line represents one of the rarest surviving branches of that shipment - taken to Canada rather than remaining in the Texas Heartbrand herd. The result is a bull with a genetic distance from the mainstream Heartbrand-descended population (Akiko, Ume, Haruko, Dai 8 Marunami, Fuyuko lines) that is effectively unmatched among living Red Wagyu. For programs built on Hikari, Shigemaru, Big Al, Tamamaru, Samsung, or the standard Heartbrand cow families, WSI Red Rum represents a clean, high-marbling outcross backed by Judo's legendary marbling reputation and the proven Naomi maternal depth.
