Brunolem Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) As I already explained in another thread, we are looking for Thai wagyu cattle in Sisaket province. Right now we are in contact with a very big farm in Ubon province, which has sent the photos below. At first sight, they look like the real deal. What's your take on those? Also what are we supposed to check, and what questions are we supposed to ask, in order to make sure that these are the right cows? Thanks for your input.

northsouthdevide Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I have never owned cattle, but can identify one or two breeds by sight, and the cows on those pics look real to me, if not a little bit skinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kickstart Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 They look like all heifers ,so they will be sold for breeding . So, first thing how old are they ,looking at those horns I would say 20-24 months, are they in calf yet,if not have they come on heat yet,if not, and they should have by now ,shows the diet is poor , low in energy . What are the crossed with , they will not be 100%, a popular cross would be Angus ,these I would say are not Angus crosses ,legs to long ?, could well be Brahman, but I could be wrong ,almost look if they have been crossed with dairy cattle . Where has the Wagyu breeding come from .most in Thailand has come from imported Australian semen ,and again that would be a cross-breed ,so find out what percentage is actually Wagyu blood . You have got them what bulls are you going to use ,you can get Wagyu semen in Thailand I have been told Thai DLD now has Wagyu semen , or are you going to have your own semen tank or use a DLD AI guy ,or if you have one a local independent guy that does AI. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
