How come this Wagyu heifer is gray instead of black?
This is the difference of a Pureblood and a Full-blood animal.
A Full- blood animal can trace all its ancestry back too the original ancestors that originally were exported from Japan 🇯🇵
The road too Pureblood is when you start by crossing a Full-blood Wagyu bull with another breed and get a offspring that is 50% from each parent, you take that female offspring and cross with another Wagyu Full-blood bull getting a offspring that is 75% Wagyu.
Do that process one more time and you have this lovely lady here that is 87,5% Wagyu, when you repeat the process one more time her offspring will be a Pureblood Wagyu while our lady here is a crossbreed.

It’s not so complicated in reality and not too far away from what happened in Japan when they originally created the modern Wagyu by crossing native cattle with breeds from Europe and Korea too make the modern Wagyu that now is a closed breed that means no new intake of new breeds in too the country may take place just like in island.

So the gray in this heifer is a legacy of her great grandmother and it makes her one of a kind in our flock and not a true Wagyu but her offspring will be.
