Member Portal

Dear Wagyu Members,

I am writing to inform you of an important update regarding our Society website. To enhance the security and privacy of information pertinent to our members, we have recently updated the website. Effective immediately, items relevant to WSA & CWB members have been relocated to a dedicated member-only portal. This change is designed to separate sensitive information from the public domain, ensuring that your access to such information remains secure and exclusive.

We encourage you to visit the member portal at https://wagyu.org.za/login/ and complete the egistration process as a Wagyu member. Please note that there is no additional cost associated with this registration. The portal is intended solely as a secure space for our members to access relevant information.

Should you encounter any issues or have questions regarding the registration process, please do not hesitate to contact Ivonne at office@wagyu.org.za.  

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued support.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Important Information

  • Feedlots – all breeders that currently have any animals at a feedlot must please supply a list of these animals to the office as soon as possible. The office must be informed of animal movements throughout the Value Chain for full traceability.
  • The Wagyu constitution requires that for stud animals, calves must be DNA verified to Sire and Dam i.e. both parents must be DNA tested. For CWB animals (commercial) all calves must be DNA tested to the Sire.
  • Ear tag must be in the ear within three months of birth. At the same time take a DNA sample and immediately send it together with the calf registration and DNA 780 form to the office
  • All animals MUST be registered on the Wagyu or CWB system database within six months as specified in the constitution.
  • Take the weaning weight of every calf at more or less 200 days (6 months). BREEDPLAN accepts all weights within the 80 – 300-day age range. Record the cow’s Mature Cow Weight (MCW) on the same day as the weaning weight of her calf. Report MCW by indicating “M” in the Analysis Indicator column.
  • Sale Catalogues – If you are interested in having a sale or auction, please contact the office a month in advance to help with a catalogue and to make sure all animals are correct on the system.
