Irongate Wagyu

Irongate Wagyu, Wagyu cattle, Albany, VIC is a family-run operation in the state of Victoria near Melbourne.

With more than ten years of selective breeding and membership in the Australian Wagyu Association, Irongate Wagyu upholds strict genetic and health screening standards. Animal health is monitored through quarterly ultrasound scans and DNA profiling to ensure breeding choices align with long-term performance goals. Each herd grazes on open pastures, receiving tailored feed rations and regular veterinary evaluations to support a balanced growth pattern. This approach supports the characteristic marbling that distinguishes Wagyu and contributes to a consistent texture across the herd.

Calves spend their early months grazing on rye grass before moving to a grain-based finish that promotes even fat distribution. Cattle reside in well-designed paddocks with shaded shelter, and calves are socialized early to foster calmer temperaments. Owners emphasize respect for animal welfare and aim for consistent quality in every cohort.
