Reference Akaushi Sires

Reg#: AF110 | Herd #: HB 457 | DOB: 07/21/93 

One of the three imported bulls that came to the United States from Japan. Shigemaru is the most widely used of the sire lines for his breeding versatility. He is known for moderating frame size, adding body mass and structural width in his progeny. His daughters are built broody, good footed and are high maternal performers. Use Shigemaru with confidence in laying a good foundation of growth and maternal genetics.

 Rhubarb is sired by Rueshaw and out of a top Big Al daughter, Barbara B3518R. We feel he combines the calving ease, eye appeal and correctness of design of Rueshaw with additional skeletal width and muscularity. His dam, Barbara B3518R, is a true generator of high performance, stout featured herd bulls. Breed with confidence in this stout built outcross sire.

We are getting some great cattle out of this Akaushi Sire.  Most American cattlemen have had a limited exposure to cattle from Japan. The black ones have been around for about forty years. Their limited growth and frail appearance didn’t fit our program. About five years ago we found the Red Akaushi cattle and they appeared to have potential. Semen was hard to get, but in 2013, we quietly started our experiment.
