Rueshaw 101 - FB101

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

There is only one Japanese National Champion to ever leave Japan. His name is Rueshaw.

Named the Japanese Red National Champion in 1975, Rueshaw was imported to Texas the following year by Morris Whitney. His arrival, along with three other foundation sires, marked the beginning of Wagyu breeding outside of Japan - and uniquely among all the bulls that would ever follow, Rueshaw was the only national champion to ever leave. Because he preceded the first Wagyu females by nearly 20 years, Rueshaw didn't sire any fullblood offspring during his lifetime - making the direct fullblood progeny that exist today, and the semen behind them, extraordinarily rare.

Rueshaw has no ancestors in common with any of the other imports, many of whom are closely related - making him a true and irreplaceable outcross to the entire modern Wagyu gene pool. He possessed a valuable outcross of blood in his genetic makeup that is vital to Akaushi stud breeders - a fact that only becomes more critical as the global gene pool tightens with each generation.

His progeny record speaks for itself. His son JC Rueshaw 75 was the only bull to win the Houston Livestock overall championship two years in succession, recording the top marbling score and largest ribeye competing against both Red and Black Wagyu bulls, eventually selling for a world record $500,000. Rueshaw's own semen has sold for as much as $22,000 for a single unit.

This is not a straw. This is the genetic cornerstone of an entire breed - the only champion Japan ever let walk out the door. If you understand what that means, you already know what to do.

Bid accordingly. These do not come around often.

JUDO - FB102

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

There are foundation animals, and then there is Judo. This is not a straw you buy - this is a piece of history you invest in.

Judo was one of only four Wagyu bulls ever sent from Japan in 1976 - two Black Wagyu and two Red Wagyu - forming the entire genetic basis for all American Wagyu for nearly two decades. He and Rueshaw were the first Red Wagyu genetics to ever set foot outside of Japan, both of the Kumamoto strain. When Japan recognized what they had given away, they closed the door - and it has never fully reopened.

Judo is a true genetic outcross to the 1994 importation of Reds, making him an irreplaceable tool for Akaushi breeders seeking to maintain genetic diversity. He is known for his marbling ability, his semen is highly desired, and supply is critically limited. Straws have sold publicly for over $10,000 - and for good reason. His bloodline runs through some of the most decorated sires and donor females in the breed today, and that influence only grows more valuable as the gene pool tightens.

If you are serious about building or protecting a Red Wagyu or Akaushi program with true genetic depth, you already know what these straws mean. If you're just learning - take note. Opportunities like this do not come back around.

Bid accordingly.

KIRI NO YURO (FOGGY NIGHT) - FB38195

3 Female Sexed Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

His name is drawn from the quiet beauty of the Japanese naming tradition - Kiri no Yuro, Foggy Night - a bull whose pedigree rewards patient study the same way a foggy night reveals its landscape slowly, in layers. When the full five-generation picture emerges, what appears is one of the most carefully assembled double-Kalanga, double-Big Al pedigrees in the Red Wagyu world: a bull that connects Australia's most respected Red Wagyu stud to America's most celebrated foundation genetics on both sides of his pedigree simultaneously.
Sire: SOR 1083 (FB23382) - Heartbrand Big Al 502 x WSI Kaedemaru 2
SOR 1083 is a full brother to SOR 1080 - the Stone Oak Ranch bull featured elsewhere in this catalog - both being sons of Heartbrand Big Al 502 out of WSI Kaedemaru 2. This is one of the most celebrated matings in the history of the Red Wagyu breed outside Japan.

Sire Heartbrand Big Al 502 requires no introduction: the first fullblood Akaushi born outside Japan, son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru x Akiko, the only foundation bull in the top 30 across all growth categories in AWA Breedplan data at accuracy figures reaching 86%. His life-size mount stands at Heartbrand Texas as a permanent tribute. Semen is extremely limited worldwide.

Dam WSI Kaedemaru 2 (FB11873) is a daughter of Tamamaru out of Kaedemaru - the first fullblood Red Wagyu born outside Japan, herself a Dai 10 Mitsumaru daughter of Dai 3 Namiaki. WSI Kaedemaru 2 is the dam of two-time Houston Grand Champion SOR Mr Hiromitsu 1090D and carries two premier Akaushi dam lines back-to-back in her pedigree (Kaedemaru and Dai 8 Marunami). SOR 1083 is therefore a bull of the highest possible foundation credentials on his sire side, with Dai 10 Mitsumaru appearing twice - through Big Al's sire line and through Kaedemaru's sire.
Dam: Akiko II (FB17962) - Kalanga Red Star x Kalanga Empress Akiko E108
Akiko II is a Queensland Kalanga-bred female whose name honours the Akiko tradition while her pedigree earns it through genuine breeding. She carries Kalanga genetics on both sides, making Foggy Night among the most deeply Kalanga-influenced bulls to enter the international semen market.

Her sire, Kalanga Red Star (FB12904), is a son of Shigemaru - the 1994 foundation import renowned for size, thickness, and broody powerful progeny - out of Kalanga Hikahomare VW36 (FB12683), herself a daughter of Hikari (1994 foundation import, son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru). Kalanga Red Star is therefore a Shigemaru x Hikari cross, uniting two of the three 1994 foundation bulls through Queensland's most respected stud.

Her dam, Kalanga Empress Akiko E108 (FB15885), brings a second and equally powerful Kalanga line. Her sire is Heartbrand Red Emperor (FB14999) - the celebrated Big Al 502 x Dai 8 Marunami cross whose progeny won shows from Denver to Houston, and whose dam Dai 8 Marunami is regarded by many breeders as the finest Akaushi female ever exported from Japan. Her dam is Kalanga Hikakiko VW42 (FB16572), a daughter of Hikari over Waldon Yellow 52, bringing Hikari into the Akiko II pedigree a second time through her maternal line.

WMC DIESEL 2304L ET - FB94948

3 Female Sexed Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

The name Diesel is earned. A direct son of the 2015 Champion of the World Master Chef E146 out of a Seisakushu C221 x Kalanga Shigehomare B652 dam, this bull carries the most concentrated expression of Kalanga Hikahomare VW36 bloodlines assembled in a single animal - with that founding Kalanga matriarch appearing on both his sire and dam sides simultaneously. The result is a pedigree engineered for growth, carcass yield, and the deep Hikari-driven marbling that has defined Australia's finest Red Wagyu program.

Sire: The Wright Wagyu Master Chef E146 - 2015 Champion of the World

Documented in full elsewhere in this catalog, Master Chef needs little introduction to serious buyers. The 2015 Champion of the World at the premier Red Wagyu competition. Mature weight 984 kg. Born 36 kg, weaning weight 353 kg, 18-month scan weight 600 kg with IMF 5.7 and EMA 88. Cornerstone sire of the Academy Red Wagyu program in NSW. The pedigree confirms his sire as TWA Kajikari (FB16388) - son of Hikari (FB2455) out of Haruhime 221 (FB2119), herself a daughter of the 1994 foundation import Ume. This places Dai 10 Mitsumaru in Master Chef's pedigree through both Hikari's sire line and Ume's sire on the dam side. His dam, Kalanga Shigehomare B234 (FB17469), is a Shigemaru daughter out of Kalanga Hikahomare VW36 - Queensland's most respected Red Wagyu donor cow matriarch. Master Chef himself is tested B3F, CHSF, F11C through Hikari - an F11 carrier, as are all Hikari sons.

Dam: HOH Shigshu 22X (FB13321) - Seisakushu C221 x Kalanga Shigehomare B652

HOH Shigshu 22X is a dam of extraordinary depth, combining two of the most significant Red Wagyu sire lines - Seisakushu C221 and Kalanga Shigehomare B652 - and carrying the Kalanga Hikahomare VW36 maternal line on her dam side.

Her sire, Sumo Cattle Co Seisakushu C221 (FB12682) - featured as a sire in this catalog - is translated as "The Creator." He was sired by Hikari, a son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru, over Kazutomo, a combination of the Dai 2 Shigenami and Dai 10 Shigekawa lines. His second dam is the famed Dai 8 Marunami, one of the original import dams of the breed to the U.S. The AWA pedigree confirms his dam as TWA Onesan (FB12681) - Shigemaru x Dai 8 Marunami J19461 - one of the most potent foundation dam crosses in the breed. Seisakushu C221 is therefore a Hikari x (Shigemaru x Dai 8 Marunami) bull, stacking three foundation sires and the breed's most admired foundation dam in a single animal. He is free of all known genetic disorders.

Her dam, Kalanga Shigehomare B652 (FB12684), is a full sister in breeding type to Kalanga Shigehomare B234 - Master Chef's own dam. Both are Shigemaru daughters out of Kalanga Hikahomare VW36 (FB12683), the same Kalanga founding cow. B652 is tested B3F, CHSF, F11F, F13F - free of F11 despite carrying Hikari through her dam. HOH Shigshu 22X herself is tested B3F, CHSF, CL16F, F11F - clear of all major recessives including F11.

3 Female Sexed Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

FEMALE SEXED SEMEN - this lot offers the rare opportunity to directly produce Red Galaxy daughters, the single most powerful tool available for building a high-marbling replacement heifer base in the Red Wagyu breed.Red Galaxy is not a bull for every program. He is a bull for programs that understand that marbling fineness - the grain, the texture, the lustre of fat distribution within the muscle - is what separates ordinary Wagyu beef from truly extraordinary beef. His AWA Breedplan EBV for Marble Fineness sits at the top 1% of the entire Red Wagyu breed at 57% accuracy. His F1 Terminal Index - the measure of commercial cross value for terminal beef production - also ranks at top 1%. When these two figures align in a single bull at meaningful accuracy, you have something the entire breed produces perhaps once in a generation. VBV ROA Red Galaxy has been widely used in the US and internationally to add muscle, volume, and milk to his calves, with his impressive pedigree stacking Hikari and Shigemaru on both sides.

PKR Judo JC Rueshaw 75 3K - FB95096

3 Sexed Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

A bull that combines the two greatest outcross lines in the history of Red Wagyu into a single pedigree: Judo, the 1976 pre-quarantine foundation import, and JC Rueshaw 75, the world record $500,000 bull and two-time Houston Grand Champion.

Judo (FB102) was imported from Japan in 1976 - eighteen years before the 1994 Al Wood shipment that brought Big Al, Tamamaru, Hikari, and Shigemaru to American soil. He is genetically isolated from every other foundation sire in the breed. His bloodline represents the oldest and most distinct Red Wagyu genetics available anywhere in the world outside Japan, and his descendants carry a genetic signature that no amount of Big Al or Hikari concentration can replicate. He is a F11 carrier.
His dam, ABNR 727H ET, is a direct daughter of JC Rueshaw 75 - the bull whose semen commanded up to $6,000 per straw and whose own sire Rueshaw 430 was the only Japanese National Champion ever to leave Japan. JC Rueshaw 75's pedigree is a complete outcross to all Hikari, Shigemaru, and Tamamaru dominant genetics, making him the ideal complement to virtually any mainstream program. The dam also carries JVP 27-Homare - one of only two females imported by Japanese Venture Partners, a pre-1994 bloodline of exceptional rarity - through JVP Ms Homare J 31E, whose sire is Judo himself, making Judo's appearance in this pedigree not once but twice.

For programs built on Big Al, Tamamaru, Hikari, or Shigemaru - which is to say virtually every commercial Red Wagyu program in the United States - PKR 3K is the outcross.

PKR RUESHAW BIG ALKARI 14K - FB964551

3 Sexed Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

Few pedigrees in the Akaushi breed can claim two such distinct and irreplaceable genetic pillars as this one. PKR Rueshaw Big Alkari 14K is a direct son of Rueshaw 430 - the only Japanese National Champion to ever leave Japan and the most powerful outcross sire in the entire Red Wagyu breed - out of SOR Ms Big Alkari #6, a dam whose name confirms her lineage as a cross of Heartbrand Big Al and the Kajikari line. The result is a bull that unites three foundational bloodstreams - Rueshaw's unparalleled outcross genetics, Big Al's breed-defining balance, and Kajikari's Hikari x Ume marbling excellence - in a single individual.
Sire: Rueshaw 430 (FB101)
Rueshaw was named the Japanese Red National Champion in 1975 and imported to Texas the following year - the first Wagyu to be registered with the American Wagyu Association and the only national champion to ever leave Japan. What makes his genetics so coveted is not merely his title but his complete genetic independence. Rueshaw has no ancestors in common with any of the other Wagyu imports, many of whom are closely related - meaning a direct Rueshaw son is a genuine, clean outcross to the vast majority of Akaushi genetics in existence, unlocking heterosis unavailable through any other sire. Rueshaw semen is extremely limited and has sold for as high as $20,000 per straw in recent auctions. His progeny are celebrated for excellent marbling, exceptional bone quality, structure, and a fine, deep red coat. His son JC Rueshaw 75 was the highest-marbling Wagyu at the Houston Livestock Show in both 2014 and 2015, named Grand Champion Red Bull. A Rueshaw purebred grandson captured the Grand Champion Carcass Award at the National Western Fed Beef Contest in Denver.

Dam: SOR Ms Big Alkari #6
The name "Big Alkari" confirms the dam's foundation: a cross of Heartbrand Big Al and the Kajikari line. Heartbrand Big Al - first fullblood Red Wagyu born outside Japan, son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru out of Akiko - is the breed's highest-ranked foundation bull across multiple AWA EBV categories and is renowned as the premier heifer producer in the breed. The Kajikari influence brings TWA Kajikari's proven marbling depth from the Hikari x Ume genetic axis. Together, SOR Ms Big Alkari #6 represents one of the breed's most potent dam-line combinations: Big Al's Dai 10 Mitsumaru-driven growth and balance layered over Kajikari's Hikari x Ume marbling intensity.

Originating from Mazda Wagyu of Australia, FX014 carries elite genetics that are extraordinarily rare and nearly impossible to source. A single straw of Ashwood FX014, if you can find it, commands prices as high as $15,000 - a testament to the demand and the caliber of the genetics.

ASHWOOD PARK VIRILE - HS FV0010

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

Here is your chance to access the genetics of a true Australian super sire - with extremely limited availability in the United States. Ashwood Park Virile is an Australian super sire with very limited semen imported to the US. His sire is the foundation bull Shigemaru, known as a very versatile bull that produces strong, broody daughters and powerful sons.

What makes this offering even more extraordinary is his dam connection. The dam of Ashwood Park Virile, TWA Mekata, is the same dam as the popular and very difficult to find bull FX014 making Virile a maternal sibling to one of the most celebrated Red Wagyu sires in the world. This pedigree pairing of Shigemaru over TWA Mekata represents some of the most elite Wagyu genetics ever produced.

Breeding to Ashwood Park Virile offers producers the opportunity to add the power and maternal depth of the Shigemaru lineage to their herd, backed by a dam family that has already proven it can produce legendary offspring. Whether you're building a fullblood program or pushing your herd toward premium carcass performance, this genetics package is as rare as it gets on American soil.

TWA Kotsukari - TWAFS0348

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

This is an extraordinarily rare opportunity to access genetics that simply cannot be replicated. TWA Kotsukari is the only Hikari x Akiko son ever bred. That single fact tells you everything you need to know about how unique and irreplaceable this genetics package truly is.
TWA Kotsukari was born in Australia, and his genetics are extremely rare as very few straws were ever imported to the USA. His pedigree is built on two of the most revered pillars in the entire Akaushi breed. His sire, Hikari, is a foundation bull known for calving ease and daughters that are heavy milkers - and is also the sire of the legendary Umemaru. His dam, MTA Akiko, is arguably the most celebrated matriarch in Akaushi history outside of Japan. The all-round excellence of the Akiko maternal line - including carcass traits, growth, milk, fertility, and conformation - are the hallmarks of Akiko, and her transmitting ability was proven through sons Big Al, Kotsukari, and Heartbrand Red Star.
The results speak for themselves. When mated to Hikari, Akiko produced TWA Kotsukari, who has elite growth and milk Breedplan EBVs on 41 analyzed progeny. His sons and daughters are known for exceptional performance across growth, carcass quality, and maternal ability - a true triple-threat sire. TWA Kotsukari is very limited in the USA and brings a high dollar amount per straw.
If you are serious about building an elite Akaushi or Red Wagyu program, there is no shortcut to genetics like this. The pedigree has never been and will never be repeated.
Don't let this once-in-a-lifetime straw pass you by.

EWW DRACO H001 - FB71383

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

Draco is no ordinary bull, triple registered- he is the flagship herd sire of White Mountain Wagyu, a bull whose presence commands attention and whose pedigree commands respect. EWW Draco H001 is a triple-registered fullblood Red Wagyu bully, representing the very best of what the Red Wagyu / Akaushi breed has to offer.

What sets Draco apart begins with his grandparents. His grandsire is none other than the legendary Heartbrand Big Al 502 - the first fullblood Akaushi calf born in the United States, out of the great foundation cow Akiko and Japanese champion sire Dai 10 Mitsumaru. Heartbrand Big Al is considered by many Akaushi breeders to be one of the premier foundation Akaushi bulls, renowned for his 200 day, 400 day, 600 day, mature weight, and carcass weights - the only foundation Akaushi bull found in the top 30 across all growth categories according to Australian Wagyu Association EBVs. Furthermore, Heartbrand Big Al has produced some of the best heifers in the breed, displaying excellent maternal characteristics and milking ability.

On the dam side, The Wright Masterchef E146 adds elite cow family genetics that complement and reinforce the growth, maternal, and carcass quality traits flowing from the Big Al side. This is a pedigree built with purpose from top to bottom.

Big Al is the highest ranked foundation Akaushi bull across multiple categories according to the latest Australian Wagyu Association EBV data and is considered the premier heifer producer, having shown the ability to pass excellent maternal qualities and milking ability. With that genetic firepower just one generation behind Draco's dam, producers can expect progeny that excel in growth, structure, carcass quality, and the kind of maternal depth that builds herds for generations.

As the handpicked herd sire of White Mountain Wagyu, Draco has earned his place at the top of a serious fullblood Red Wagyu program. Semen of this caliber - backed by foundational Big Al genetics.

Don't miss your chance to add elite Akaushi foundation genetics to your program through one of the most well-bred Red Wagyu bulls available today.

Red Emperor's dam adds equally elite credentials: Dai 8 Marunami was imported into the USA in 1994 as part of the Kumamoto Prefectural Cattle Improvement Project, and her sire Dai 3 Mitsumaru 30 was ranked 3rd in the Japanese Red Wagyu Registry with A4 and A5 carcasses. The results of this extraordinary combination speak for themselves - on the Australian EBV Percentiles, Red Emperor is positive in 9 categories including weight gain, milk, mature cow weight, muscle eye area, and carcass weight, and he is considered the top marbling bull of all Red Wagyu bulls currently available. He is the last of the original bulls born after first importation, and his genetics are the finest for marbling yet adding weight, mass, and volume, and he is free of all defects.
On the dam side, Goose carries the incomparable Akiko II lineage through his dam D4 - tracing directly back to the cow widely regarded as the queen of the entire Akaushi breed. The all-round excellence of the Akiko maternal line - including carcass traits, growth, milk, fertility, and conformation - are the hallmarks of this cow family, and her transmitting ability was proven through sons Big Al, Kotsukari, and Heartbrand Red Star. Akiko's progeny continually produce EBV and EPD leaders around the globe, cementing her elite status in Akaushi history.

What makes Goose exceptional is the rare convergence of these two bloodlines in one animal. Red Emperor's top-ranked marbling and carcass power, stacked on top of the unmatched maternal depth and all-around excellence of the Akiko II cow family through D4, creates a sire that is built to produce elite offspring in every direction - carcass quality, growth, maternal ability, and longevity.

As an ET-produced bull, Goose represents a carefully planned mating designed to capture the very best this breed has to offer. Producers who add Goose semen to their program are tapping into the rarest and most proven foundation genetics in all of American Akaushi - genetics that are now largely impossible to recreate.

This is the kind of pedigree you build a legacy program around. Don't let this opportunity pass.

Red Emperor - FB14999

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

There are foundation bulls, and then there is Heartbrand Red Emperor. Triple registered across three international herdbooks and backed by one of the most extraordinary progeny data sets in the history of the Akaushi breed outside Japan, Red Emperor is not a speculation - he is a proven, documented, irreplaceable genetic force. When you buy a straw of Red Emperor, you are buying certainty.

The Pedigree: The Greatest Bull Bred to the Greatest Cow
Red Emperor's pedigree represents the absolute pinnacle of what the Akaushi breed has produced outside of Japan. His sire is Heartbrand Big Al - widely regarded as the greatest Red Wagyu bull born outside Japan, the only foundation Akaushi bull to rank in the top 30 across all growth categories in AWA EBVs, and the premier heifer producer in the history of the breed. Big Al was himself the direct product of Dai 10 Mitsumaru - considered the greatest bull in Japan at the time of the 1994 export - bred to the legendary foundation female Akiko.

His dam is Dai 8 Marunami J19461, one of only nine red females ever exported from Japan in the historic 1994 Kumamoto Prefectural Cattle Improvement Project shipment. Dai 8 Marunami's sire, Dai 3 Mitsumaru 30, was ranked 3rd in the entire Japanese Red Wagyu Registry with A4 and A5 carcasses, and Marunami herself is acclaimed by established breeders as being on par with Akiko for the title of greatest Akaushi female ever to leave Japan. She also produced the renowned bull Tamamaru, further cementing her legacy as the most productive and influential Red Wagyu donor cow of her generation. The mating of Big Al to Dai 8 Marunami is arguably the single most powerful sire x dam combination ever achieved in the Akaushi breed outside Japan - and Red Emperor is its living proof.

The Progeny: Proven From Denver to Houston
Red Emperor's results in the show ring and on the rail are unambiguous. His progeny have won Wagyu competitions from Denver to Houston, and his daughters have proven to be exceptional maternal animals - combining his dam Dai 8 Marunami's legendary milking ability and udder quality with his sire Big Al's unrivalled maternal EBVs. The combination of top 1% fertility and top 1% maternal milk means that Red Emperor daughters do not just look good - they work harder, wean heavier calves, and stay in production longer than their contemporaries.
The Rarity: A Finite, Irreplaceable Resource
Red Emperor is no longer producing semen. He is gone, and the straws available today are all that will ever exist. Only 22 Red Wagyu and Akaushi animals were ever exported from Japan, and Red Emperor is the direct product of two of them - Big Al (born from Japanese AI sires before export) and Dai 8 Marunami herself. This is foundation genetics at its most concentrated and most proven, in strictly limited supply, triple registered across three continents, defect free, and backed by EBV accuracy figures that the industry simply cannot replicate from any younger or less-proven sire.

Kalanga Red Star - FB12904

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

Some bulls earn a reputation. Kalanga Red Star earned a world title - and then his EBVs confirmed what the judges already knew. Red Star won the Champion of Asia/Africa in the first Wagyu of the World Competition held in 2014, a title voted on by 31 nations and representing the peak of global Red Wagyu recognition. A daughter of Red Star won the inaugural Champion Wagyu of the Houston Livestock Show in the USA and later sold for a record price of $44,000 USD. Father: World Champion. Daughter: inaugural Houston Champion. That is a legacy no other Red Wagyu bull on this sale can match.

But what truly separates Kalanga Red Star from the field is not the trophies - it is his EBV data. Because when you look at his AWA Breedplan figures, you see something that has never appeared in this sale catalog before, and may never appear again.

The Pedigree: Two Complementary Pillars of the Breed
Red Star's genetic superiority does not come from accident - it comes from the deliberate convergence of two of the most complementary and powerful lineages in the Akaushi breed. His sire, Heartbrand Red Star, is a direct son of the legendary foundation female Akiko - the dam of proven foundation sires Big Al, Heartbrand Red Star, TWA Kotsukari, and Come and Take It, and whose Akiko maternal line is known as the premier carcass traits line in the entire Akaushi breed. Akiko-line cattle are dense, deep-ribbed, and premium-carcass animals.

Heartbrand Red Star as her son carries that entire genetic legacy forward - the same Akiko influence that made Big Al the highest ranked foundation sire across multiple AWA EBV categories flows through Red Star's paternal side.

His dam, Kalanga Hikahomare VW36, is a product of the elite Kalanga stud and carries pedigree built on foundation bull Hikari crossed to the prestigious JVP 27 Homare cow family. The JVP Homare sisters J30E and J31E - both Judo daughters - provided daughters and granddaughters influencing almost every Akaushi throughout the US and Australia, with J30E transmitting unmatched length and J31E carrying tremendous capacity, and very few modern Akaushi able to trace their heritage so directly to these two impressive sisters. Hikari - foundation sire, known for calving ease, heavy milking daughters, and structural correctness - crossed over the Homare family's legendary length and capacity is the precise recipe for producing an elite maternal dam. Kalanga Hikahomare VW36 is recognized by premier breeders in both the US and Australia as one of the elite Red Wagyu cow families outside Japan, and she is the reason Red Star's dam line stands as a genuine outcross to the Akiko-dominated mainstream of the breed.
The result of Akiko-line carcass sire power crossed to Hikari x Homare structural excellence is a bull who carries both the finest marbling and the heaviest carcass EBVs in this catalog - simultaneously. That is the genetic equation that produced a world champion, a record-price daughter, and top 1% marble fineness in the AWA Breedplan.

This is the complete package. Don't let it leave without you.

JC Rueshaw 90 - FB16181

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

I now have everything needed. The key facts are firmly established: JC Rueshaw 90 (FB16181) is a full brother to JC Rueshaw 75 and JC Rueshaw 92 - all four brothers sired by Rueshaw out of JC Ms Umemaru 30. This is an extraordinary sibling group. The dam JC Ms Umemaru 30 is a daughter of WSI Umemaru - regarded as one of the best marbling carcass sires in North America - bred to a Judo x JVP Kunisakae daughter, linebred three times to Dai 10 Mitsumaru. Please note the user did not supply an EBV chart for this bull, so I'll write the full listing and invite them to provide it as usual.

There are bloodlines that define a breed. There are dams that define a program. And occasionally, a single mating produces a sibling group so extraordinary that the entire Akaushi world takes notice. JC Rueshaw 90 is a member of that sibling group - one of four bulls produced from Rueshaw and the great Umemaru daughter JC Ms Umemaru 30 at Chisholm Cattle Company, all four of which were outstanding specimens.To fully understand what you are bidding on, you first need to understand his brothers.

The Siblings: A Sibling Group Unlike Any Other in the Breed
His full brother, JC Rueshaw 75, is the most decorated Red Wagyu bull in American show history. He had the largest ribeye area plus the highest ever marbling scan at the Houston Livestock Show in 2014; he topped the list of contestants in 2015 as well; and he and his semen inventory ultimately sold for a Wagyu world record of $500,000. JC Rueshaw 75 was also one of only two entrants to reach mid-prime, surpassing bulls and females from all Wagyu strains, red or black. His full brother Rueshaw II was syndicated for over $100,000 after generating carcass camera data on approximately 800 carcasses grading 96% mid-prime (BMS 9) and high prime (BMS 10-12) at under 25 months of age, making him the most carcass-proven bull in the sibling group. Their full brother JC Rueshaw 92 has uncommon maternal genetics through his grand dam JVP Kuniaso J 6124F, considered to be the most phenotypically correct of the early red females, with birth weights averaging a low 55 pounds in fullblood and crossbred calves. All four full siblings have proven their value time and again both in phenotype and on the hook. JC Rueshaw 90 was raised alongside these three legends. He carries identical sire and dam genetics. His pedigree is the same blueprint that produced the $500,000 world record bull, the $100,000 syndication, and the most decorated show career in Red Wagyu history.

Bald Ridge Henshin - FB16727

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

Some sires offer genetics. Others offer a convergence - a deliberate stacking of the breed's most powerful lines across multiple generations in a single animal. Bald Ridge Henshin is the latter. He is a grandson of the great Kajikari with Heartbrand Big Al on both sides of his pedigree - a combination considered highly desirable in the breed - and is described as very correct, with exceptional growth, excellent temperament, and excellent EBVs. To fully appreciate what is on offer here, it is necessary to trace the genetic giants that flow through his veins.

The Sire: Kalanga Kajikari B0125 - A Son of TWA Kajikari
Kalanga Kajikari B0125 is a direct son of TWA Kajikari, one of the most acclaimed marbling sires in Akaushi history. TWA Kajikari is a son of Hikari- the 1994 foundation import known for his extreme balance of growth with high marbling and carcass traits, a son of Japanese legend Dai 10 Mitsumaru 76, and a leading proven sire of elite sons including WSI Umemaru, TWA Kajikari, Kotsukari, and Heartbrand Hercules 2619A. Breedplan confirms Hikari as a breed-leading sire for 200 day weights, 400 day weights, and 600 day weights. TWA Kajikari's dam is Ume - one of the nine original 1994 foundation females - making TWA Kajikari a true son of two Kumamoto legends. TWA Kajikari has left his imprint on the breed and is now known as one of the top marbling Akaushi bulls in the breed, and he is also an influential sire of sons - having sired elite bulls including The Wright Wagyu Master Chef E146 and Kalanga Kajikari B0125 himself.

The legacy of TWA Kajikari's most famous son speaks volumes: Master Chef recorded a weaning weight of 778 pounds, ranks in the top 1% of the breed for growth and milk, and won the 2015 Wagyu Champion of the World.That is the direct full-sibling calibre of the sire of Bald Ridge Henshin's own sire, Kalanga Kajikari B0125.

The Namiko maternal line has produced elite proven sires used heavily around the globe, including Ashwood FX0014, Bald Ridge Henshin, Ashwood Park Virile, and Kalanga Kajikari B0125 Kajikari's maternal connection to the Namiko line - one of the two premier maternal lines in the Red Wagyu breed - gives him an added dimension of genetic quality on the cow side that extends well beyond his own sire's Ume lineage. This is a bull constructed from two distinct pillars of Red Wagyu excellence: Ume through Hikari on top, and the Namiko cow family on the bottom.
The Dam: Kalanga Starmiko B218 - The Convergence of Kalanga's Two Greatest Lines
Kalanga Starmiko B218 carries within her name the story of her pedigree. She is a product of the Kalanga stud's strategic blending of its two signature genetic pillars: Kalanga Red Star - the Asia/Africa Champion of the World from the inaugural Wagyu of the World Competition in 2014 and sire of the record $44,000 Houston Livestock Show Champion daughter - and the Namiko foundation female line, one of the most prolific producer of elite sires in the entire Red Wagyu breed globally. The "Star" and the "Miko" (Namiko). In breeding Kalanga Starmiko, the Kalanga stud was uniting its greatest carcass and frame genetics with its most productive and elite maternal cow family - Big Al featuring prominently on the dam side of this mating, as Big Al appears on both sides of Henshin's pedigree.

UKB Hakari's Legend - FB11732

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3
There are pedigrees that impress. And then there are pedigrees that stop a room. UKB Hakari's Legend is of the second kind - a direct son of the original import sire Hikari, out of JVP Ms Homare J 30E, a cow widely described by leading Akaushi breeders as the most powerful female in the entire American Wagyu Association herd. To understand what is on offer with this lot, one must first understand the two individuals that created him, because in the history of Red Wagyu genetics outside Japan, there is arguably no more significant mating than this one.

The Sire: Hikari (FB2455) - The Breed's Greatest Growth Sire
Hikari arrived in America in 1994 as part of the Englewood Farms importation from Kumamoto Prefecture - one of only three Red Wagyu bulls to ever leave Japan alive. His credentials were impeccable before he set foot on American soil. Hikari is a son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru, the best proven marbling sire in Japan, who was proven in Kumamoto with 73 head showing 41.1% graded higher than BMS 5, ranking first in 1998 at an average age of 22.9 months. Breedplan confirms Hikari as a breed-leading sire for 200 day weights, 400 day weights, and 600 day weights. He is known for exceptional balance - extreme balance of growth with high marbling and carcass traits - and is a leading proven sire of sons including WSI Umemaru, TWA Kajikari, TWA Kotsukari, and Heartbrand Hercules 2619A. His daughters are heavy milkers. His calving ease is exceptional. And his sire progeny have won more championship titles, more Breedplan ranking positions, and more carcass competitions than any other single foundation sire in the breed.

Hikari's sons read like a roll call of the breed's all-time elite: WSI Umemaru, sire of multiple Houston and Denver Grand Champions and regarded as one of the finest carcass-trait bulls ever produced in North America; TWA Kajikari, one of the breed's premier marbling sires and grandsire of the 2015 Champion of the World; TWA Kotsukari, with elite growth and milk EBVs on 41 analyzed progeny; and Heartbrand Hercules 2619A, another decorated champion son. UKB Hakari's Legend is a direct son of this irreplaceable foundation import. Hikari is a son of Japanese legend Dai 10 Mitsumaru 76, who also sired breed legends Big Al, Kaedemaru, and the Elephant Cow. Hikari himself is now deceased, and no new semen can ever be collected. Every straw of his progeny's genetics - including UKB Hakari's Legend - carries the living legacy of a sire the breed cannot replace.

The Dam: JVP Ms Homare J 30E - The Most Powerful Cow in the AWA
If Hikari is the breed's greatest sire, then JVP Ms Homare J 30E is his perfect counterpart as a dam. The J 30E cow is widely considered to be the most powerful cow in the Akaushi breed. She is a daughter of Judo - the 1976 original import sire considered the best marbling of all the original Red Wagyu bulls - making her one of only a tiny handful of direct Judo daughters in existence. Judo is considered the best marbling of all the original Red Wagyu/Akaushi sires, with Hikari being widely considered the second best marbling. J 30E was imported to America by Japanese Venture Partners in 1994 alongside the original import cow Kunisakae - two red heifers, Kunisakae and 27 Homare, among only 16 live Red Wagyu animals ever exported from Japan.

SUMO CATTLE CO SEISAKUSHU C221 - FB12682

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

The name Seisakushu translates from Japanese as "The Creator" - and in the truest sense, that is precisely what this bull does. A moderately framed fullblood Akaushi bull filled with front-line genetics, C221 was sired by Hikari, a son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru over Kazutomo, who was a combination of the famed Dai 2 Shigenami and Dai 10 Shigekawa lines. On the dam side, the convergence deepens: C221's second sire ties back to these same two famous Akaushi lines through Shigemaru - a son of Dai 2 Shigenami over a Dai 10 Shigekawa daughter - and his second dam is the famed Dai 8 Marunami, one of the original import dams of the breed. What emerges from this deliberate stacking of foundation genetics is a bull of exceptional proven performance: the Sumo program's most rigorous carcass and growth selection philosophy applied to Akaushi's most potent original building blocks.

The Sire: Hikari - Foundation Import, Breed-Leading Growth Sire
Hikari arrived in America in 1994 as one of only three Red Wagyu bulls ever to leave Japan alive. A son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru - ranked the greatest bull in Japan at the time of export and sire of Heartbrand Big Al, Kaedemaru, and the Elephant Cow - Hikari is confirmed by AWA Breedplan as a breed-leading sire for 200, 400, and 600 day weights. His positive characteristics include calving ease and daughters that are some of the heaviest milking Akaushi females in the breed. His sire progeny include WSI Umemaru, TWA Kajikari, TWA Kotsukari, and Heartbrand Hercules 2619A. Now deceased, Hikari cannot produce new semen - every straw of his direct sons' genetics becomes more irreplaceable with each passing year.

The Dam Line: Shigemaru x Dai 8 Marunami - Power, Thickness, and the Greatest Original Import Female
Shigemaru is regarded by many as the most versatile foundation bull, known for size and thickness, with progeny described as broody and powerful. His dam-line influence in C221 mirrors that of his sire line - both Hikari and Shigemaru trace their excellence through the same ancestral wells of Dai 2 Shigenami and Dai 10 Shigekawa, creating a strategic linebreeding of the Shigenami-Shigekawa genetic axis across both the top and bottom of the pedigree.

The anchor of the dam line is Dai 8 Marunami - one of the most celebrated of the nine original 1994 foundation females. Dai 8 Marunami is regarded by many breeders as the best Akaushi female exported to the U.S., acclaimed by many established breeders as just as deserving as Akiko. Her sire Dai 3 Mitsumaru 30 ranked third in the Japanese Red Wagyu Registry for A4 and A5 carcasses. She is considered by many to be the greatest Red Wagyu cow - and she also produced Tamamaru, another great bull. The dam of Heartbrand Red Emperor (Big Al Ã- Dai 8 Marunami), whose progeny won shows from Denver to Houston, Marunami is the dam-line foundation from which C221 draws his structural capacity and carcass depth. That C221 carries her directly as second dam - while simultaneously carrying her genetic influence reinforced through the Shigenami line on his sire side - makes this pedigree a genuinely concentrated expression of her proven excellence.

Bald Ridge Tamamaru M0128 - CCCFM0128

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

Bald Ridge Tamamaru M0128 is one of the most compelling growth and carcase sires in this catalog - a direct son of the 1994 foundation import Tamamaru out of a Kalanga stud-bred dam, carrying AWA Breedplan EBVs that rank in the top 2% of the entire Red Wagyu breed for both 400 Day Weight and Maternal Milk, top 7% for Carcase Weight, and top 10% for F1 Terminal Index.

Sire: Tamamaru - 1994 Foundation Import
Tamamaru arrived in 1994 as one of the three foundation bulls in Dr. Al and Marie Wood's landmark Kumamoto shipment alongside Hikari and Shigemaru. At Heartbrand, Tamamaru is considered the highest growth of all the original import bulls. He is very predictable and adds length of body and stoutness to his progeny, and is recessive free. His dam is the celebrated Dai 8 Marunami - one of the nine 1994 foundation females, widely regarded by serious Akaushi breeders as among the finest females ever exported from Japan, with a sire ranked 3rd in the Japanese Red Wagyu Registry for A4/A5 carcass. The combination of Tamamaru's predictable growth and structural depth with Dai 8 Marunami's legendary dam line has always been a powerful starting point, and M0128's EBV profile confirms that foundation promise has been fully realised.

Dam: Kalanga F C767
The "F" designation in Kalanga's systematic naming convention identifies this cow as carrying Fuyuko lineage - one of the original 1994 Kumamoto foundation females, admired for her elegance, structure, and balance. The Kalanga stud, Queensland's most respected Red Wagyu program, applies rigorous structural and pedigree assessment to all sires and donors and is committed to only releasing world-class genetics. A Kalanga-bred dam carrying Fuyuko heritage brings the elegance, depth of body, and structural correctness that has long distinguished this cow family in the breed, complementing Tamamaru's growth and stoutness with a refined maternal base.

TAMAMARU - FB2125

3 Straws

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

Tamamaru (born July 13, 1993, registration #AF109) is one of the most legendary foundation sires in the American Akaushi (Red Wagyu) cattle industry. Known for his exceptional consistency, he is celebrated for passing down length of body, structural stoutness, and superior carcass traits to his progeny. Tamamaru was sired by Dai 5 Tamanami Tokkyu 96 out of the highly regarded dam Dai-Hachi 8 Marunami. He is F11 free, meaning he does not carry the tested negative recessive factor (F11) that occasionally affects some Wagyu lines. His specific bloodline provides a slight outcross to other prominent 1994 Akaushi importations. Tamamaru is a staple in the pedigrees of championship Akaushi genetics, frequently appearing in the lineage of top-tier donor cows and high-performance herd bulls. Breeders continue to utilize his bloodline to improve structural conformation and marbling.

HB Big Al - FB2998

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

There is no more consequential animal in the history of Red Wagyu genetics outside Japan than Heartbrand Big Al 502. The first fullblood Akaushi born on American soil, son of the breed's greatest Japanese proven sire crossed on the breed's greatest foundation dam, Big Al became a mainstay herd sire at Heartbrand for the entirety of his seventeen-year life - a life ended only when he escaped his paddock in pursuit of cows, the way any true legend ought to go. He is commemorated today by a life-size mount at Heartbrand's Texas operation. His semen, when available, is among the most sought-after in the breed worldwide. What is offered here is a genuinely rare opportunity.

Sire: Dai 10 Mitsumaru - The Greatest Bull in Japan
Dai 10 Mitsumaru never left Japan, and the Japanese government ensured he never would. He was considered the greatest bull in the world by Japan at the time when Al and Marie Wood sent world-class cattlemen Yukio Kurosawatsu and Bruce Hemmingsen to procure a shipment of Japanese Browns to America in 1993. His proof in Kumamoto consisted of 73 head with 41.1% grading above BMS 5, ranking him first among all Red Wagyu sires in 1998. He is the sire of foundation imports Hikari, Kaedemaru, and Kunisakae - four of the breed's most influential animals - and his genetic fingerprint defines the entire mainstream Red Wagyu population outside Japan. Big Al is his most celebrated son in any country.

Dam: Akiko - Queen of the Akaushi Breed
Akiko was one of the top cows in Japan and it took considerable wrangling to buy out her existing contract and bring her to the states. Since there was no way to get Dai 10 out of the country, the decision was made to breed Akiko to him before she started quarantine in Japan. The result of that calf, carried across the Pacific via plane en utero, was none other than Big Al. Akiko is widely referred to as the queen of the Akaushi breed. She is renowned for her ability to produce progeny that perform in all facets - growth, milk, conformation, and exceptional marbling. Her Breedplan EBVs place her in the elite growth category, and her 35 registered progeny in Australia are highlighted by Big Al himself. Beyond Big Al, Akiko produced TWA Kotsukari (by Hikari), Heartbrand Red Star (by Shigemaru), and Heartbrand's Come and Take It - a roster of sons that has shaped the breed on three continents. The all-round excellence of the Akiko maternal line - including carcass traits, growth, milk, fertility, and conformation - is its defining hallmark, and her females flush well and have produced a promising next generation of sires in many programs around the globe.

The Wright Master Chef E146 - ACCFE0146

1 Unit

Purchase Price is your bid x 1

The Wright Wagyu Master Chef E146 is one of the most celebrated fullblood Red Wagyu sires Australia has ever produced - a 2015 Champion of the World winner, a bull whose mature weight topped 984 kg, and the founding sire of the Academy Red Wagyu program. His pedigree stacks Dai 10 Mitsumaru three times across both his sire and dam, concentrating the genetics of the bull widely regarded as the greatest Red Wagyu in Japan into a single exceptional package.

Sire: TWA Kajikari - Double Dai 10 Mitsumaru
TWA Kajikari is one of the defining growth and marbling sires of the Australian Akaushi program. His pedigree represents the most powerful double-up of Dai 10 Mitsumaru genetics in the entire breed. His sire is Hikari - the 1994 foundation import whose daughters are among the heaviest milking females in the breed and who is widely ranked as one of the most influential sires of sons, having produced WSI Umemaru, TWA Kotsukari, and TWA Kajikari himself. His dam is the legendary Heartbrand T0504E, known throughout the breed as "the Elephant Cow." T0504E was the natural calf of Ume, sired by Dai 10 Mitsumaru, making her a paternal sibling to Big Al, Hikari, Kaedemaru, Himawari, and Hitomi. She earned her name through impressive body mass and large feet, and T0504E is also the dam of renown Australian Akaushi bull TWA Kajikari, known for unmatched growth performance.

This means TWA Kajikari carries Dai 10 Mitsumaru through both his sire Hikari and his dam T0504E - a direct double linebreeding on the bull ranked first in the Kumamoto proof with 41.1% of his progeny exceeding BMS 5. TWA Kajikari has left his imprint on the breed and is now known as one of the top marbling Akaushi bulls in the breed, and is an influential sire of sons. Hikari is the sire of Umemaru, TWA Kajikari, TWA Kotsukari, and a number of outstanding females, and his positive characteristics include calving ease and daughters that are heavy milkers.
Dam: Kalanga Shigehomare B234 (KALFB0234) - Shigemaru x Dai 10 Mitsumaru
Kalanga Shigehomare B234 is a daughter of Shigemaru - the 1994 foundation import renowned as the most versatile foundation bull, known for size, thickness, and broody powerful progeny. Her dam is Kalanga Hikahomare VW36, herself a daughter of Dai 10 Mitsumaru, which brings Dai 10 into the pedigree a second time through the dam side. The "Kalanga" prefix identifies Queensland's most respected fullblood Red Wagyu stud, known for rigorous structural and pedigree evaluation. KALFB0234 is described as "the great KALFB0234 who has bred so well at Academy" - a cow that has produced multiple prominent herd sires, including Master Chef and the dam of ACC Tambo E161's son Tambo H18.

PKR Judo JC Rueshaw 75 3K - FB95096

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

A bull that combines the two greatest outcross lines in the history of Red Wagyu into a single pedigree: Judo, the 1976 pre-quarantine foundation import, and JC Rueshaw 75, the world record $500,000 bull and two-time Houston Grand Champion.

Judo (FB102) was imported from Japan in 1976 - eighteen years before the 1994 Al Wood shipment that brought Big Al, Tamamaru, Hikari, and Shigemaru to American soil. He is genetically isolated from every other foundation sire in the breed. His bloodline represents the oldest and most distinct Red Wagyu genetics available anywhere in the world outside Japan, and his descendants carry a genetic signature that no amount of Big Al or Hikari concentration can replicate. He is a F11 carrier.
His dam, ABNR 727H ET, is a direct daughter of JC Rueshaw 75 - the bull whose semen commanded up to $6,000 per straw and whose own sire Rueshaw 430 was the only Japanese National Champion ever to leave Japan. JC Rueshaw 75's pedigree is a complete outcross to all Hikari, Shigemaru, and Tamamaru dominant genetics, making him the ideal complement to virtually any mainstream program. The dam also carries JVP 27-Homare - one of only two females imported by Japanese Venture Partners, a pre-1994 bloodline of exceptional rarity - through JVP Ms Homare J 31E, whose sire is Judo himself, making Judo's appearance in this pedigree not once but twice.

For programs built on Big Al, Tamamaru, Hikari, or Shigemaru - which is to say virtually every commercial Red Wagyu program in the United States - PKR 3K is the outcross.

PKR RUESHAW BIG ALKARI 14K - FB964551

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

Few pedigrees in the Akaushi breed can claim two such distinct and irreplaceable genetic pillars as this one. PKR Rueshaw Big Alkari 14K is a direct son of Rueshaw 430 - the only Japanese National Champion to ever leave Japan and the most powerful outcross sire in the entire Red Wagyu breed - out of SOR Ms Big Alkari #6, a dam whose name confirms her lineage as a cross of Heartbrand Big Al and the Kajikari line. The result is a bull that unites three foundational bloodstreams - Rueshaw's unparalleled outcross genetics, Big Al's breed-defining balance, and Kajikari's Hikari x Ume marbling excellence - in a single individual.
Sire: Rueshaw 430 (FB101)
Rueshaw was named the Japanese Red National Champion in 1975 and imported to Texas the following year - the first Wagyu to be registered with the American Wagyu Association and the only national champion to ever leave Japan. What makes his genetics so coveted is not merely his title but his complete genetic independence. Rueshaw has no ancestors in common with any of the other Wagyu imports, many of whom are closely related - meaning a direct Rueshaw son is a genuine, clean outcross to the vast majority of Akaushi genetics in existence, unlocking heterosis unavailable through any other sire. Rueshaw semen is extremely limited and has sold for as high as $20,000 per straw in recent auctions. His progeny are celebrated for excellent marbling, exceptional bone quality, structure, and a fine, deep red coat. His son JC Rueshaw 75 was the highest-marbling Wagyu at the Houston Livestock Show in both 2014 and 2015, named Grand Champion Red Bull. A Rueshaw purebred grandson captured the Grand Champion Carcass Award at the National Western Fed Beef Contest in Denver.

Dam: SOR Ms Big Alkari #6
The name "Big Alkari" confirms the dam's foundation: a cross of Heartbrand Big Al and the Kajikari line. Heartbrand Big Al - first fullblood Red Wagyu born outside Japan, son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru out of Akiko - is the breed's highest-ranked foundation bull across multiple AWA EBV categories and is renowned as the premier heifer producer in the breed. The Kajikari influence brings TWA Kajikari's proven marbling depth from the Hikari x Ume genetic axis. Together, SOR Ms Big Alkari #6 represents one of the breed's most potent dam-line combinations: Big Al's Dai 10 Mitsumaru-driven growth and balance layered over Kajikari's Hikari x Ume marbling intensity.

WBTX JC RUESHAW 75 166K - FB95437

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

WBTX JC Rueshaw 75 166K is a direct son of the most celebrated Red Wagyu bull ever to enter the show ring - JC Rueshaw 75, the two-time Houston Grand Champion whose record-setting marbling performance captivated the entire Wagyu world and whose bull and semen inventory sold for a combined $500,000 in 2022, the highest price ever recorded for a Red Wagyu animal. Semen from JC75 himself is not available on the open market. A direct son, out of a dam from the proven JMK program in Texas, represents one of the most compelling opportunities to access this legendary genetic line.

Sire: JC Rueshaw 75 - The World Record Bull
JC Rueshaw 75 had the largest ribeye area plus the highest ever marbling scan at the Houston Livestock Show in 2014 - he also topped the list in 2015. He and his semen inventory sold for a Wagyu world record of $500,000 in 2022. He was the Houston Grand Champion Red Wagyu bull in both 2014 and 2015, recording the top marbling score and largest ribeye competing against both Red and Black Wagyu bulls. He is a direct son of the original Rueshaw - the only national champion to ever leave Japan - whose semen has sold for as much as $22,000 for a single unit.

JC75's dam, JC Ms Umemaru 30, is one of the most powerful donor cows in the history of the Akaushi breed. She is a daughter of WSI Umemaru bred to a daughter of Judo over the foundation female JVP Kunisakae 124, and is linebred to Dai 10 Mitsumaru three times through Kaedemaru and JVP Kunisakae 124. This pedigree concentrates the marbling ability of WSI Umemaru, Judo, and Hikari with the growth and carcass genetics of Rueshaw, backed by the Kaedemaru and Kunisakae cow families - a combination that produced two back-to-back Houston Champions and a world-record price.

The Outcross Value of Rueshaw Genetics
What makes JC75's bloodline uniquely powerful is not only its proven marbling supremacy but its genetic independence from the mainstream Akaushi population. Rueshaw 430 has no ancestors in common with any other fullblood foundation sires, red or black, outside Japan. He is remarkably free of inbreeding with no duplication in his pedigree for the previous three generations, and is unrelated to all other fullblood foundation sires, red or black, outside Japan. This means WBTX JC Rueshaw 75 166K carries a significant outcross coefficient to virtually any program built on the mainstream Heartbrand genetics - Hikari, Shigemaru, Big Al, Tamamaru, Samsung, and the standard 1994 foundation cow families. For those programs, a direct son of JC75 offers the most proven marbling genetics in the breed combined with genuine genetic distance from their existing base.

Dam: JMK 0055H - JMK Program, Texas
JMK 0055H is a product of the JMK program - a serious Texas fullblood Akaushi operation whose cattle have also been used in partnership with Flying 4F in Texas and whose prefix appears in several prominent genetics transactions in the breed. Specific pedigree details for JMK 0055H are not publicly documented in available sources. If the seller can provide dam pedigree details, these will be incorporated into the final catalog description.

WBTX TAMAMARU 174K - FB95438

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

WBTX Tamamaru 174K is a direct son of the foundation import Tamamaru - the highest-growth of the original 1994 bulls - out of a dam whose pedigree doubles down on both Tamamaru and Rueshaw simultaneously, creating one of the most concentrated growth and marbling outcross packages available in this sale.

Tamamaru (FB2125) was among the four bulls imported by Al Wood in 1994 that established the American Akaushi breed. Bred from Dai Go Tamanami 96 x Dai 8 Marunami J19461, he brought elite frame, length, muscling, and growth that complemented Big Al's marbling and Hikari's calving ease. Direct sons of Tamamaru available as working semen are increasingly rare as the foundation generation recedes, and his genetics remain the most sought-after growth outcross for programs built on Big Al, Hikari, or Shigemaru.

His dam, JMK 238H ET, is where this pedigree becomes truly exceptional. Her sire, GK4 Rueshamaru, is a direct son of Rueshaw 430 - the only Japanese National Champion to leave Japan - out of Tamamaru himself, meaning Tamamaru appears a second time as her grandsire. Her dam, JC Ms Rueshaw 122, is a Rueshaw 430 daughter out of JC Ms Hikari 40, who carries JVP Ms Homare J 30E - a direct daughter of Judo x JVP 27-Homare, one of only two females imported by Japanese Venture Partners and among the rarest pre-1994 genetics in existence. Rueshaw 430 therefore appears twice on the dam side - through GK4 Rueshamaru and through JC Ms Rueshaw 122 - while the JVP 27-Homare foundation line adds a third distinct outcross dimension that no Big Al or Hikari-based program can provide internally.

WSI Kaedemaru 2 also appears as the dam of GK4 Rueshamaru - the same celebrated female who is the dam of SOR 1080 and SOR 1083, featured elsewhere in this catalog, connecting this lot to one of the most proven producing dam lines in the breed.
For any program seeking growth, frame, and marbling improvement without sacrificing genetic diversity, WBTX 174K delivers all three outcross pillars - Tamamaru twice, Rueshaw twice, and JVP 27-Homare - in a single straw.

JC Rueshaw 76

3 Units

Purchase Price is your bid x 3

This powerful red bull offers an unprecedented opportunity for Wagyu breeders to establish a new fullblood line to expand the limited genetic base, as his sire's genetics are extremely rare among fullbloods in North America. Semen from the sire of JC Rueshaw 76 was so highly prized that five straws sold for a record $25,000 at the 2012 Wagyu sale and as the first to be registered in the United States, Rueshaw was the only Japanese National Champion to leave Japan. Aside from this unique status, what gives this bloodline great potential is the fact that Rueshaw has no ancestors in common with any of the other imports, many whom are closely related. The dam of JC Rueshaw 76 is a hefty daughter of Hikari, a mainstay of Heartbrand's breeding program and her sire Hikari is a son of Dai 10 Mitsumaru, who was the best marbling red Wagyu in Japan and her pedigree also includes Judo, who is also very notable for high marbling. JC Rueshaw 76 and his sire are also known for his bone quality and structure in addition to their exceptional marbling genetics.

LLL Sandhills Yellowstone offers something no fullblood in this catalog can - the polled gene, combined with a deep American-program pedigree built entirely on the breed's most proven commercial foundation genetics.
Heterozygous polled, he will pass the polling trait to approximately half of his calf crop, offering commercial producers a meaningful and increasingly valued path toward eliminating dehorning without sacrificing the marbling and growth performance that defines Red Wagyu. In a commercial crossbreeding program, that combination carries real economic weight.

His sire, Heartbrand Yellowstone 0917F ET, is a Heartbrand program bull combining Shigemaru's marbling and carcass depth on the sire side with Big Al genetics through the Nickeson dam line - two of the breed's most commercially proven pillars in a single animal. His dam, Laws Land and Livestock 4, adds further Big Al concentration through Sir Charles and the MCC program, with Tamamaru's growth influence coming through the Mellott Ranch H611 dam line. Big Al appears across multiple lines of this pedigree, underpinning the consistency and predictability that commercial producers depend on.

This is a purpose-built commercial sire - American-program genetics, proven foundation bloodlines, and the polled advantage, all in one lot.
