Late Fall at Georgia Mountain Wagyu

Even in the rain, late fall at Georgia Mountain Wagyu is beautiful. Here you can see some contented cows eating or digesting their feed under the cover of a beautiful rainbow.

Speaking of feed, pasture grass grows slowly this time of year, so the cattle get some high-energy ryegrass hay to help them “beef up” (sorry) for the winter. This hay is supplied by our neighbor Brookshire Farm and maintains our high standards for organically fertilized feed. They also get a supplement of grain to round out their nutritional needs.

We often get questions about the differences in our Pure Blood (93.75+% Wagyu genetics) and our Full Blood (100% genetics). Here is an excellent article on this. To summarize, not much difference in taste or texture, but a BIG difference between these two and the “American Wagyu” you may encounter in supermarkets or restaurants which is usually a 50/50 cross between Wagyu and Angus and tastes like Angus.

We have noticed in the August calves the Pure Bloods are growing a little faster than the Full Bloods. We are in the process of registering the Full Bloods with the American Wagyu Association. We expect the Pure Bloods will end up at a slightly higher hanging weight.
