      • Breed Improvement: Judges assess cows based on their size, proportions, and other outwardly visible standards

      • Meat Quality: Carcases are judged on fat quality and content

    • Winning breeders get the opportunity to sell their cattle and carcasses to top restaurants and butchers worldwide at premium prices

  3. Auction:

    • At the end of the competition, the best breeding cows and carcasses are sold at auction to the highest bidders in Japan
