Loomis, WA

Agri Beef takes pride in managing the wagyu seedstock operation on the Double R Ranch in Loomis Washington. Wagyu cows and heifers are bred using artificial insemination and embryo transfer technology to supply genetics for the Snake River Farms feeder cattle supply. Wagyu bull calves and heifers are born in the spring and weaned in the fall, they are then sorted and selected based on specific program needs.

Selected Attributes:

  • Carcass Qualities
  • Feed Efficiency
  • Calving Ease

Bulls meeting the requirements are kept for the bull battery. Heifers meeting the requirements are kept as replacements and go back in to the cow herd.

These bulls are then leased to the cow-calf producers throughout the West and shipped from the Bull Development Center when a rancher is enrolled in the Snake River Farms Wagyu breeding program.
