Dai 20 Hirashige J287 is an
important sire of the Kedaka line,
which was formed in the Tottori
Prefecture from descendants of
the sire Kedaka born in 1959. The
Kedaka/Tottori strain of Wagyu
has the genetic potential for higher
growth rates combined with high
meat quality, as well as good
conformation, temperament, and
fertility. Kedaka bulls are known
for their fine hair and loose skin.
Dai 20 Hirashige J287’s semen
is still used in Japan, although in
scant quantity, and the price per
straw is well in excess of $1,000.
He was awarded the highest honor
in Japan of Ikushu-Toroku.
