“A long time ago, Japan imported Jersey Cattle from Australia. Thanks to this, the Japanese people can now enjoy drinking tasty milk and eating tasty yoghurt. After I exported my Wagyu cattle to the US in the early 1990’s hoping that people in the world would enjoy eating Wagyu beef, the first people who purchased my genetics were Australians.”
Shogo Takeda, pioneer of the Wagyu in Japan, spent most of his life dedicated to the development of the Wagyu industry. His attention to detail, and mentoring regarding the breed is pivotal to the success now experienced by Australian breeders.
For 50 years the Takeda family has been breeding Japanese Black Wagyu, the Takeda Farm of such fundamental importance has no peer in Japan.
We offer our sympathy & note the legacy of this Master Breeder, not only in Australia but Worldwide.
Our most deep condolences to his family and friends.
