Four bulls were sent from Japan by Morris Whitney in 1976.<\/p>\n\t\t

In 1976, Morris Whitney imported four Wagyu bulls from Japan: two Black Wagyu (Mazda from Tottori and Mt. Fuji from Hyogo) and two Red Wagyu (Rueshaw and Judo from Kumamoto). Initially, the bulls were sent to Colorado University for semen collection before being purchased by Wagyu Breeders Inc. Because there were no Wagyu females in the United States at the time, these bulls were bred with Angus, Holstein, Hereford, and Brangus cows in Texas.<\/p>\n

By 1991, the highest-percentage Wagyu bull in the United States was rated 63\/64, and there were fewer than 300 crossbred Wagyu females of breeding age at 3\/4 Wagyu or higher. Around the same time, the narrow genetic base began to widen when semen from a fifth bull, Itotani, was brought to Canada by Lakeside Industries in Brooks. Over subsequent generations, Wagyu genetics continued to spread, and by the fourth generation, the American Purebred (15\/16) contained 93.75% Wagyu genetics.<\/p>\n\t\t

Mannett Group (later to become World Ks) imported three Black Wagyu females and two bulls.<\/p>\n\t\t

In 1993, the Mannett Group (later to become World Ks) imported three Black Wagyu females\u2014Suzutani and Rikitani (both Tajima) as well as Okutani (75% Tajima, 25% Shimane)\u2014alongside two bulls, Michifuku and Haruki II. The first Fullblood Wagyu born outside Japan resulted from second-generation embryos sired by Haruki II.<\/p>\n

On June 19, 1994, Rikihari (from Rikitani) became the very first Fullblood Wagyu calf born in Canada. Shortly thereafter, Genjiro was born from Okutani on June 23, followed by Okuharu on June 24. That same day, the USA welcomed its first Fullblood Wagyu calf, Fujiko, along with her brother Beijirou, both also from Okutani. Later in 1994, the first live Wagyu exports left the United States for Wally Rae in Australia, marking another milestone in the breed\u2019s global expansion.<\/p>\n\t\t

Mannett Group imported four black femalesand two black males<\/p>\n\t\t

In 1994, the Mannett Group imported four Black Wagyu females\u2014Okahana, Nakayuki, Kanetani, and Nakagishi 5\u2014along with two Black Wagyu males, Kenhanafuji and Takazakura. After their arrival, calves such as Tanitsuru, Nakazakura, Kitaguni Jr, and Reiko were born. During this period, the Red Wagyu (Akaushi) bull Dai 10 Mitsumaru also sired a few calves from foundation heifers that had been exported from Japan.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, Dr. Al and Marie Wood imported Red Wagyu to the United States, guided by Mr. Yikio Kurosawatsu and Dr. King in Kumamoto Prefecture. Their consignment included nine Red females (Namiko, Ume, Namoi, Akiko, Haruko, Fuyuko, Dai 3 Namiaki, Dai 9 Koubai 73, and Dai 8 Marunami) and three Red bulls (Shigemaru, Tamamaru, and Hikari). Calves born via AI from Japanese sires Namimaru and Dai 10 Mitsumaru included Big Al, Kaedemaru, Momigimaru, 504, and 505. After the required 180-day quarantine, Namoi, Dai 3 Namiaki, Kaedemaru, and Momigimaru were sent to Ontario, Canada, while the remaining Red Wagyu\/Akaushi herd in the United States was sold to Englewood Farm in Texas. Later, most of those animals were transferred to HeartBrand, creating one of the largest Red Wagyu\/Akaushi herds outside Japan.<\/p>\n

In another significant development, Japanese Venture Partners imported three Black Wagyu bulls\u2014Kikuyasu, Fukutsuru, and Yasutanisakura\u2014ten Black Wagyu females (Chisahime 662, Chiyofuku 992, Fukutomi 990, Kikuhana 298, Shigehime 208, Tokuhime 486, Yasufuji 1\/4, Yoshifuku 2, Yuriko 1), and two Red Wagyu heifers (Kunisakae and 27 Homare). These imports further broadened the genetic foundation of Wagyu cattle outside their native Japan.<\/p>\n\t\t

n 1997, the Mannett Group imported seven Black Wagyu females\u2014Taguchi 9, Nakahana 5, Mitsutaka, Okuito 9, Hanateru 9, Rabito, and Hisako\u2014along with a single Black bull, Yasufuku Jr. Their calves, which included Taguchifuku, Kotomichan, and Kousyun, further strengthened the growing Wagyu foundation outside Japan.<\/p>\n

That same year, Chris Walker of Westholme brought 25 Black Wagyu females and three Black Wagyu bulls\u2014Hirashigetayasu, Itomoritaka, and Kitateruyasu Doi\u2014from ET Japan Company in Hokkaido to the United States. In 1998, an additional 59 females arrived, along with semen from three Black bulls (Shigefuku, Dai 6 Seizan, and Kitatsurukiku Doi). Of the 84 females, 63 were pregnant upon arrival. Bulls 001, 002, and 003 were subsequently used heavily in Australia, while 004, 005, and 006 remained more prominent in the United States.<\/p>\n

This consignment showcased notable diversity, comprising 44 Shimane, 28 Kedaka, and 12 Tajima lines\u2014thereby introducing both size and milk production with marbling potential. Among the dams that bred successfully in Australia were: Hatsuko, Itoreiko, Kazuaki, Kitahikari 97\/1, Kitakazu, Kitaokumi, Kitasakaedoi, Kitasekitori, Kitatizuru 2, Kunikiku 96, Masako, Masatoshi 2, Sakaehikari, Sekinakada 22, Sekiyuhou, Takakuni, Takashigedoi, Yamafuji, Yamaketakafuji 3, and Yuriyuhoi.
