First Wagyu Calf for Scots farm
08 September 2009
The Barony College Farm near Dumfries has delivered its first Japanese Wagyu calf, named Inochi, meaning 'life'.
Wagyu cattle are amongst the most expensive cattle in the world and are raised on a special diet, as well as being subject to massages, to increase the quality of the meat.
The calf was born as part of a project being run in conjunction with the Asda supermarket chain, which aims to produce high quality beef from normal dairy herds.
Inochi was born to a Holstein Friesian dairy cow sired by a Wagyu bull.
