SeTF148 Itoshigenami
Sired by Shigeshigenami and dam by Fukuyuke. His grand sire was Shigekanenami and maternal sides great grand sire was also Shigekanenami. There are three different strains of Tajima:
1. Okudoi
2. Nakadoi
3. Nami
Shigekanenami was one of the most typical Nami bulls. TF148’s sire Shigeshigenami was made double crossing Shigekanenami on the sire side and also on the maternal side to enhance marbling.
TF148?s dam was Fukuyuki and her grand sire is Shigekanenami and on the maternal side the sire was Dai 7 Itozakura. Therefore TF 148 should produce an adequate frame with great marbling. This bull consists of 75% Tajima, 19% Shimane and 6% Kedaka.
Based on an Australian full blood Wagyu breeder?s carcass data, TF148 average carcass weight is 970 lbs and an average beef marbling score of 8.6 out of their marbling 1-9 scale.
Shigeshigetani
100% Tajima bull, half brother of Sanjirou who was progeny tested in Australia. With 3800 F1?s in the test, he sired 90% 9+ on the Australian scale which would be prime + + on the U.S.D.A. scale. The remaining 10% graded at 7 to 9 on the Australian scale which is prime and prime + on the U.S.D.A. scale
