Warrendale Wagyu teamed up with the British Wagyu Association with a joint stand as first-time exhibitor at Scotland’s Beef Event held on Tuesday 6th June 2023 at Dalswinton Estate near Dumfries. Attended by several thousand visitors, a busy day was had talking to farmers and the wider industry about opportunities for British Wagyu.
As well as information about the breed, the farm-to-fork approach started with a chiller display followed by tasting a range of Wagyu cuts. These were the usual fillet, sirloin and rump but also cuts like goose skirt, flat iron, Denver and bavette which are eminently ‘steakable’ thanks to Wagyu’s unique tenderness and marbling.

Warrendale are actively looking for new calf rearers, growers and finishers in Scotland for their integrated beef scheme with Jamie Brownrigg, Katrina Donaldson and – new to the team – Lucy Corner on hand to give advice. Overall, an enjoyable and successful event!
Thank you to Alan Dickinson of North Netherscales, Cumbria for supplying the stand with six Wagyu-cross stores and finishers ranging from 18 to 26 months of age
