Our Members


Our membership comprises a diversity of individuals and businesses from Fullblood (pedigree) Wagyu breeders, commercial producers, processors and those in the genetics, animal health and machinery sectors, to butchers, retailers, chefs and restaurateurs. Membership is for anyone who wishes to play a part on moulding the future of the Wagyu breed in the UK & Ireland. 

Three categories of membership are available. Full Membership (£343pa) is primarily for those who have Wagyu Fullblood or Purebred animals to register with the WBA's partner organisation the Australian Wagyu Association (AWA) and who wish to be part of the British Wagyu Assurance Scheme. Commercial Membership (£120) is for those who wish be part of the British Wagyu Assurance Scheme but who don’t have Fullblood or Purebred animals to register. Anyone with an interest in the Wagyu breed, and who wants to be part of a dynamic Wagyu partnership in the UK and Ireland can join as a Friend of the Wagyu Breeders Association (Associate Member £68pa), and will be kept up-to-date with industry news and events plus receive Member-only updates direct from the WBA. Prices are exclusive of VAT.
