the association


The Wagyu Breeders Association (WBA) was formed in 2014 by a group of Wagyu breeders and enthusiasts from around the UK, its aim being to promote British Wagyu beef and represent the interests of its members in producing what is widely held as the world’s luxury beef! 

The principle upon which the WBA is founded is ‘the promotion of agriculture for the public benefit by encouraging, promoting and improving the breeding of Wagyu cattle in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Republic of Ireland.’ 

A British Wagyu Quality Assurance Scheme ‘WBA-Approved British Wagyu’ was established in 2020 to create a minimum set of standards that our customers can rely on thereby defending the premium British Wagyu brand and returning value to our Members. In 2021, the WBA became a founding member of the World Wagyu Council whose mission is to enhance the Wagyu brand internationally.
