From our family to yours
Strathdale Wagyu
Strathdale Wagyu began in 2000 when artificial insemination was implemented to turn the initial small brahman and brangus herds at Strathdale into a wagyu herd.
The purchase of higher-content wagyu crossbred to boost the herd sizes. After the purchase of the central Queensland properties shorthorns were used as a base breed to build numbers for stocking.
