Crossbreeding Wagyu with other breeds is a good alternative to Fullblood Wagyu breeding. The aim of crossbreeding is to introduce desirable Wagyu characteristics such as enhanced carcass traits while also harnessing the benefits of heterosis (crossbreeding). 

Because they are genetically distinct from British, Continental, and American breeds, heterosis can be maximised by using Wagyu in a crossbreeding program. One such benefit is seen through the low birth weights associated with Wagyu, yet F1 animals reach the large mature size of the crossed breed.

Artificial insemination utilising frozen semen is a good way to incorporate the advantages of Wagyu cattle into your herd. Click here to see the semen available from Norman Wagyu.
