Details about O'Hanasaki Whitney
Full-blood Wagyu, reared on Kildare grass
A closed pedigree herd built on proven Japanese bloodlines — bred for marbling, temperament and hardiness in the Irish climate.
The herd
A herd built slowly, and on purpose
We have been breeding full-blood Wagyu in Co. Kildare since the herd was founded, working with genetics traced directly to the Japanese prefectural lines that give the breed its reputation. Every animal is registered, DNA-verified and reared outdoors on grass for as much of the year as the weather allows.
We sell breeding stock to farmers who want to start or strengthen a Wagyu herd of their own, and we are happy to spend the time on the phone that a decision like that deserves. If you are weighing up whether Wagyu suits your ground, ring us — an honest conversation costs nothing.
-
Registered full-blood genetics
Pedigree-registered and DNA parent-verified, with full documentation supplied on every animal sold.
-
Grass-fed and outdoor-reared
Our cattle are out on grass as long as the Kildare weather allows, which produces hardy animals that travel and settle well.

Does Wagyu Actually Work in an Irish Grass System?
The breed is often sold on the romance of Kobe. The real question for an Irish farmer is whether a 34-month finish pays on grass — and under what conditions it does.
Understanding Wagyu Bloodlines — Tajima, Kedaka and the Trade-off
Breeders talk about prefectural lines constantly, and newcomers nod along. Here is what the lines actually mean and why chasing one of them exclusively is a mistake.
