Few questions about wagyu

[billyB]

Are'nt Wagyu cattle in Japan also given beer and massaged every day?

They are where there is no room for them to get exercise. The beer stimulates their appetite and the message is for muscle tone. Where there is room for them to graze, run and play, it's not needed.

It means "Beef Marbling Score".

Question:
What about crossing
Wagyu x Brown Swiss ? Any thoughts or history of ?

I haven't been involved in that cross, but I think it would be a great cross. They are known for great disposition and meat quality. The meat qualities, marbling, marbling fineness and tenderness is a dominant trait in Wagyu. A wagyu cross should result in 50% of the offspring blending the wagyu meat qualities with the Swiss genetics for meat quality and 25% of the offspring having all of the wagyu meat qualities. 25% would be like Brown Swiss. Naturally, with the milk from Brown Swiss, I would expect the calves to excel. Looks like a "win" "win" situation! I'd like to hear about the results if you choose to do it.
