Crescent Harbor Ranch - Oak Harbor, WA
Flush and Conception Data 2008 – 2009
Crescent Harbor Ranch has been breeding Wagyu cattle since 1993, when it imported the first full-blooded Wagyu females into the U.S. Crescent Harbor also acquired genetics from the next six importations, building the herd’s composition primarily of Tajima strains.
Focus on Excellent Genetics
Crescent Harbor Ranch produces the highest marbling fullblood sires and dams using Fukutsuru 068, Sanjirou, Michifuku, and Takazakura – the top 4 U.S. bulls in the 2001 National Wagyu Sire Summary – as well as Kitaguni Jr., whose sire, Kitaguni 7/8, won the last all-Japan carcass contest. Plus, the usage of Hirashige Tayasu, who sired the most registered full blood progeny in Australia.
The ranch has an on-site embryo transfer facility. The USDA inspects and licenses embryo production and export.
What are Wagyu?
In Japan, some of the most prized and expensive beef is Wagyu, or what is called Kobe Beef. Stories of massaging cattle or feeding them beer are legendary if true. What is indeed true is the quality and flavor of Wagyu beef and the pride of the Japanese people, who revere this delicacy so much it was declared a national treasure.
The marbling of Wagyu is unparalleled in any other breed in the world. When cooked, the servings are tender, juicy, and full of flavor, surpassing even the prime-graded cuts in the U.S. Now, this same breed of Japanese beef cattle is raised in America and ready for your table.
