Kumamoto Red Wagyu Foundation Bulls in the U.S.

Fortune shined on the American cattle industry when two Kumamoto red bulls arrived from Japan in 1976 and again in 1994 when a small nucleus of bulls and pregnant cows followed them here. The genetics from those two shipments are likely to be the last to ever leave Japan – the Kumamoto Red has been declared a national treasure and it genetics have been prohibited from exportation.
