From The Management Team

Assisting with this epic Wagyu event is beyond an honor for JDA, Inc. The Wagyu bloodlines represented in this offering are elite, proven and sought after. The Wagyu Sekai program has been at the forefront of breeding the industry’s top pedigrees and most beautiful and desired carcasses for 30 years; the founders of Wagyu Sekai are trailblazers and are responsible for bringing some of the most dominate genetics that are available to North America. This once in a lifetime event celebrates the 30 years that Wagyu Sekai has curated only the best by producing internationally known phenoms and proven themselves to know the breed better than anyone. The knowledge behind the Wagyu Sekai program is what separates it from most foundation herds; they have pinpointed what works, what doesn’t and have made all breeding decisions based on actual carcasses. This has led to consistency, superiority and the confidence in buying the Wagyu Sekai product. The opportunity to make a selection from this program has never been offered and should not be dismissed – the world will be watching and striving to attain what Wagyu Sekai has created; serve yourself well and add these bloodlines to your program.

It’s hard to imagine that it’s already been 30 years…..

It all started in 1993 with the purchase of four “wild” recipients carrying 90 day confirmed pregnancies.

The post secondary education of immersing in all things Wagyu began with a one way trip to Japan in February 14, 1994, witnessing the entry of the second group of animals into quarantine for export to the USA.

The next four years was spent being a sidekick/translator/secretary/coffee maker to the man who exported the first modern day Wagyu out of Japan. Making countless travels together out of Japan on all things Wagyu.

The last year in Japan was spent working daily on a large Wagyu feeding operation in Hyogo Prefecture, home of Kobe Beef. It was originally supposed to be a six month stay, however some heavy drinking, a rainy day, bald tires, an accident with a garden shed in the middle of nowhere and missing from the scene further extended the education for six months.

Upon returning back to Canada, the first FB Wagyu (via semen /embryos) were introduced to Brazil and Argentina and we also started to enter the specialized beef market with the production of F1 (Wagyu x Holstein) which was gradually all replaced with Fullblood Wagyu by 2008.

In 2002, a sizeable group of animals were purchased from World K’s USA which subsequently ended up being some of the last females to come out of that program.

Starting in 2014 we embarked on acquiring individual animals in Australia and the USA to not only compliment the main herd but to also preserve these genetics for future use.

We will be commemorating our 30 Years by offering 30 live lots to represent every year we’ve had the honour of working with this wonderful breed of cattle.

THESE 30 OFFERINGS REPRESENT THE EPITOME OF WAGYU SEKAI.

ALL LOTS WILL SELL IN USD$

All lots are exportable to the USA, Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Serbia, Switzerland, etc.

Please note that ONLY Lots 3, 6, 16 and 24 have ever been flushed. With the rigorous herd health testing we have done during the past 10 years, we are pleased to announce all lots are also exportable to Great Britain and the European Union.

Winning bidders also have the option to house the lots here in Canada for genetic collection.

The auction will be both live and online and in typical Wagyu Sekai fashion, there will be no reserves.

We hope that you can join us in our celebration!
