Iron Table Wagyu Complete and Total Dispersal Sale

STUD

Dear Wagyu Enthusiasts,

Iron Table Wagyu will sell in its entirety on June 21. This complete and total dispersal of all Registered Black Wagyu along with all our Fat and Feeder cattle will sell that day. Things and times change as we go throughout this life and Jim DiMeo has decided to retire and enjoy this next chapter in his life.

This sale will be held only online at www.Liveauctions.tv where you can bid online as the auction is happening. It will be a day filled full of excitement as it will be the chance for bidders from across the United States to have the chance to acquire and select from the entire ITW herd. We share our passion for Wagyu cattle with you and are in hopes you like the offering as much as we do.

At Iron Table, we believe that genetics are the cornerstone of producing the finest Wagyu beef. Our carefully curated herd has been a labor of love over the last few years.

This sale will showcase the most sought-after bloodlines, each representing years of dedication, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. Whether you are a seasoned breeder or new to the world of Wagyu, we are excited to help you discover the potential of these extraordinary animals.

Over the past six years we have focused on creating cattle that combine superior phenotype, deep maternal pedigrees, and proven carcass data. We believe it takes a high-pressure, multi-trait selection approach to achieve the complete combination animal the Wagyu breed requires.

Prior to this sale, you will have the opportunity to engage with our knowledgeable ITW manager, who is eager to provide insights and answer to any questions you may have. If you would like to view the sale cattle prior to the sale, please give Will Tawater a call to arrange an appointment.

We encourage you to take your time, explore our offerings, and connect with Will or anyone from the Wagyu365 Team, whom all share our passion for the ITW superior genetics. As you browse our offering, remember that each animal has a story to tell, a lineage rich in quality and data.

Our goal is to assist you in making informed decisions that will elevate your breeding program and contribute to the ever-growing appreciation for Wagyu beef.

Thank you for joining us online and we are in hopes you find this experience inspiring and fruitful.

Together, let’s celebrate the remarkable journey of Wagyu genetics!

Warm regards,

Iron Table Wagyu Team

Important Notice and Disclaimer

It is very important that you appreciate when viewing the AWA database that the information contained on the AWA database, including but not limited to pedigree, DNA information, Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) and Index values, is based on data supplied by members and/or third parties.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information reported through AWA, AWA officers and employees assume no responsibility for its content, use or interpretation. AWA disclaims all liability (including without limitation, liability in negligence) for all expenses, losses, damages and costs you may incur as a result of the use by you of the data on this AWA database and the information supplied by ABRI and AGBU being inaccurate or incomplete in any way for any reason.

Regarding EBVs and Index values, it is very important to appreciate, and you need to be aware that:

  • EBVs are derived using Wagyu Single Step BREEDPLAN technology developed independently by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), using the information contained within the AWA database.
  • AGBU is a joint venture of NSW Department of Primary Industries and the University of New England, which receives funding for this purpose from Meat and Livestock Australia Limited.
  • AWA relies solely on advice provided by AGBU and ABRI in accepting Wagyu Single Step BREEDPLAN software.
  • EBVs published in Wagyu Single Step BREEDPLAN are estimates of genetic potential of individual animals and may not reflect the raw animal phenotype.
  • EBVs can only be directly compared to other EBVs calculated in the same monthly Wagyu Group BREEDPLAN analysis.

Regarding pedigree and DNA testing results submitted to the AWA, it is very important to appreciate, and you need to be aware that:

  • Pedigree and DNA data submitted and supplied to AWA may have errors in it which cannot be detected without further DNA testing.
  • Technology may have advanced since a particular test was undertaken so that previous inaccuracies which were not detectable are now able to be detected by current testing technology.
  • AWA estimates that less than 1% of the pedigree entries, ownership or breeding details in the AWA Herdbook may have errors or which may be misleading. For this reason, users ought to consider if they need to obtain independent testing of the relevant animal (if possible) to ensure that the data is accurate.

Regarding prefectural content, it is very important to appreciate, and you need to be aware that:

  • Prefectural content is based on the estimation of prefectural origin from Japanese breeding records of 201 foundation sires and 168 foundation dams.  As genotype-based parent verification is not used in Japan, and full Japanese registration certificates are not available for all foundation animals, exact prefectural composition for these sires and dams cannot be validated.
  • The calculation of prefectural content for Australian Herdbook animals relies on the accuracy of pedigree records and DNA samples provided by AWA members.
  • The reporting of prefectural content for animals within the AWA Herdbook relies on the calculation provided by ABRI.

If you consider that you do not understand or appreciate the nature and extent of the data provided on this website or the EBVs of a particular animal, then AWA strongly recommends that you seek independent expert advice.
