3D Genetics was founded in 1997 with the acquisition of some of the first Fullblood Wagyu cattle imported into Australia.
Since then, it has grown into one of the country’s most respected and data-driven Wagyu breeding programs. 3D Genetics operates from two properties, ‘Pukawidgi’ and ‘Harwood’ which are located 40 km north of Inverell in Northern NSW Australia. The business runs a large-scale nucleus herd comprising over 2,000 breeders, including 600 Angus recipient cows used for embryo transfer.
This nucleus serves as the genetic foundation for supplying Fullblood Wagyu bulls into a structured, commercial progeny test believed to be the largest of its kind in Australia.
The program is built on rigorous trait measurement and an uncompromising focus on genetic progress. Emphasis is placed on calving ease traits such as birth weight and gestation length.
These traits have real-world implications for both survival and long-term performance, especially in breeding programs where selection emphasis for increased carcase weight can lead to larger birth weights and increased calving difficulties.
In Wagyu, the extended gestation length, often weeks longer than other beef breeds, adds further importance on optimising birth weight to maximise calf survival. With foetal growth accelerating at 300 grams per day in the final weeks, increases of seven (7 days) in pregnancy length can result in significant increases in calving difficulty particularly in maiden heifers.
The breed also has survivability problems with small birth weights that lead to increased mortality rates that can only be identified and eliminated by detailed measurement and selection in the bull breeding nucleus.
Maternal performance is also a key area of focus.
Many Fullblood and Purebred Wagyu cows produce inadequate milk, compromising calf survival, growth rates and subsequent carcase value. Data from “Pukawidgi” highlights this with Male calves raised on their Fullblood dams growing at an average of 0.8 kg/day, while calves of like for like genetic merit raised by Angus ET recipients grow at 1.05 kg/day. By the time of weaning at 6 months of age, this leads to an average 45 kg difference, an outcome with clear economic implications for commercial beef producers. MILK is an important trait for selection in the 3D Genetics program.
Feed efficiency is another pillar of the program.
3D Genetics is one of very few Wagyu operations in the world conducting onfarm individual feed intake testing at scale. In 2025, the program will collect its 5,000th feed intake phenotype, a milestone that reinforces its commitment to breeding animals that convert feed into weight gain as efficiently as possible.
With rising input costs and increased scrutiny on sustainability, selecting for feed efficiency is not just about profitability, it’s also about responsible production.
The 3D Genetics Feed EFFICIENT logo signifies animals that have been measured for residual feed intake and are in the top quartile (best 25%) of the 3D Genetics program.
In 2008, Joe Grose whilst an Australian Wagyu Association Board Member, brought the Meat Image Japan (MIJ) technology from Japan back to Australia.
Since that time, the 3D Genetics program has utilised the MIJ analysis as the cornerstone of capturing and analysing Carcase quality traits in an objective and repeatable manner.
This system automatically analyses the eye muscle (longissimus dorsi) and captures over ten traits, including eye muscle area, total marbling, marbling particle fineness, and meat and fat colour.
Importantly, marbling fineness is a key driver of eating quality and a trait that continues to differentiate elite Wagyu from other breeds and within the breed itself.
3D Genetics Fullblood progeny are now averaging a digital marble score of 12.6, all while maintaining genetic diversity.

“We run a herd of 6,000 Purebred Wagyu breeders in Northern Central Queensland near Collinsville and two properties in Northern NSW where we background our steers and run a further 1,000 breeders.
About eight years ago, under the recommendation of feed lotter Mort & Co we entered into a business relationship with 3D Genetics where we collect data on farm utilising progeny from their bulls with a similar goal in mind of improving the quality and performance of the herd which is working very well. I think what sets 3D Genetics apart is their genetic analysis and their handle on what the genetics are doing. The genetics have taken us from a very average carcase quality at the start to something that is very competitive in the industry. Joe’s team are a great team to work with; we thoroughly enjoy our interaction. We are all heading in the same direction and we are looking forward to the future.”

Andrew Donoghue – Vytelle Regional Director Australia\NZ
“What sets 3D Genetics apart from other breeders is attention to detail and the desire for good quality data. The data that you receive from the Vytelle Sense system is the highest quality you can get for feed efficiency in cattle.
I think genetics plays a massive part, particularly in the wagyu breed that spend a lot of time on feed for finishing for profitability to identify those animals that can finish more quickly with less feed, a better environmental footprint and more money in the pocket of the breeder and feeder.”

Adam Armstrong – Russell Pastoral Operations Pty Ltd
“We are located near Blackall in Central Queensland, near Dalby on the Western Downs and at Bingara, Northern NSW. We run 1,500 breeders in our Wagyu program and all genetics have been supples by 3D Genetics since the inception of our herd in 2018. We are more profitable as a direct result of working with 3D Genetics, we know we are producing cattle right up in the straps for genetic quality and the market wants them and pays us a premium as a result. The traditional wagyu genetics tend to be very slow growing, poor mothers with low milk production. Due to the significant improvements year on year coming through 3D Genetics, we are seeing good mothers, good milk, faster growing animals with high marble scores. Our average marble score on our F2 Wagyu progeny is now 0.5 marble scores above the national breed average of fullblood performance. This clearly demonstrates the value of good genetics.”

Dr Shane Thomson – Veterinarian Holbrook Vet Centre
I work as a Partner and Veterinarian with the Holbrook Vet Centre as well as with my family we run a commercial and seedstock Angus breeding operation. We have had a reasonably significant involvement with the Wagyu breed over the last ten years primarily in the form of providing services to our clients. Historically one of the key issues with incorporating Wagyu sires into Angus production systems has been the resultant F1 progeny have a 15-20% lower growth potential when compared to the straight-bred Angus. The interesting thing with the genetics we have been using from the 3D program is that while we selected for the high carcase merit bulls, we were also able to select for high growth rates. We have had our Angus and our F1 Steers running together in a mob of 400 head and over the last 150 days we have observed almost no difference at all in the average daily gain of those two groups. I think this is a real game-changer that through appropriate selection of genetics there is potential not to have a weight difference between the F1’s and Angus.
