On February 27–28, 2026, Kenny & Dacia Landgraf of Landgraf Ranch and Associates will host a premier Wagyu event in Luling, Texas, bringing together elite genetics, industry fellowship, and world-class hospitality. This Genomically Elite Fullblood Wagyu Offering is more than a sale — it is a curated showcase of proven and emerging genetic assets designed to elevate progressive programs across the Wagyu industry.
Held at the 2 Bar C Ranch Event Center, the weekend will feature females, herd sire prospects, and frozen genetics, all backed by genomic data and performance-driven selection.
A Curated Offering of Proven & Emerging Genetic Assets
Landgraf Ranch has built its reputation on disciplined selection, international-caliber pedigrees, and measurable performance. This sale represents the front end of that work — cattle and frozen genetics that combine:
- Elite Fullblood Japanese Black pedigrees
- Top percentile rankings across economically relevant traits
- Strong maternal and carcass indicators
- Genomically verified performance
Several featured lots trace back to influential sires such as Carnarvon Station Goldfinger S7013 and elite Mayura bloodlines, combining structure, carcass quality, and data integrity.
Highlighted cattle in this offering include high-index herd sire prospects and donor-quality females ranking in the top percentiles for BFI and FTI, along with balanced growth, marbling, and maternal strength. These are the types of cattle that influence programs for years to come.
For breeders serious about long-term genetic advancement, this is a strategic opportunity — not simply a purchase.
