TAK Ms Yasufuku Y002 (FB20752) is special because she is directly sired by the famous sire Yasufuku Jr., who is in turn sired by perhaps the most famous Wagyu bull in all of Japan, and while Yasufuku Jr. is a carrier of the a carrier of the CL16 recessive disorder, this cow did not inherit that gene and is free of all of the known genetic recessive disorders making her even more special. And making her even more special, she is out of a cow that is directly sired by Itozuru Doi TF151, who’s semen is the highest priced of all Wagyu sires, and who is known to transmit to offspring outstanding carcass qualities as well as good growth and maternal characteristics. Further down the pedigree is maternal grand dam Sanjirou, one of the top carcass sires in the breed, then maternal great grand dam Kitaguni Jr., one of the highest marbling foundation bulls in the breed, followed by Kikuhana, a foundation bull known for great size and maternal characteristics, followed by Kikuyasu-400, the largest Tajima-line foundation sire, and originally out of the Yuriko-1 foundation cow. Her pedigree indicates that she should contribute to outstanding carcass qualities in her offspring. And she has great fertility and maternal instinct, and she raises outstanding calves.
