Legendary Akaushi Genetics

Legendary Akaushi Genetics is a Wagyu cattle breeder in La Crosse, WI, in Western Wisconsin near Minneapolis. With several years of breeding experience, it follows recommended health screening and genetic testing protocols to maintain herd integrity, disease prevention and overall well-being. Cattle graze on open pastures with access to well-maintained shelter during variable weather, and young calves are regularly handled and turned out in small groups to encourage balanced temperaments.

The program emphasizes predictable marbling traits and consistent growth rates, reflecting selection over several herd generations. Feeding relies on forage-based rations supplemented with balanced minerals, promoting steady development before finishing, and access to free-choice clean water. Each year, select heifers are retained as foundation stock to preserve bloodline consistency and maternal traits. Independent veterinary and nutritional consultants are engaged regularly to support herd health, refine care standards and optimize feeding plans.
