Surtierra Tequila is Named the Official Tequila of the TWA

The Texas Wagyu Association (TWA) is proud to announce Surtierra Tequila as the Official Tequila of the Texas Wagyu Association. This unique partnership joins two brands that share deep roots in Texas agriculture, education, and tradition.

Welcome, Julena!

From Horses to Wagyu

When it comes to raising Wagyu cattle, every detail matters—from genetics and reproduction to day-to-day herd care.

NAWZ Comes to Texas This November

The TWA is proud to announce the North American Wagyu Zenkyo, taking place at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Brenham, Texas.

Nestled in the rolling countryside of Serbin, Texas, Weise Farms is a true testament to Texas farming and ranching heritage. Established in 1854 as part of The Wends of Texas, the Weise family have worked the same land for nearly 170 years, with the 7th generation now growing up on the farm. Today, Becky and Tim Weise continue this proud tradition, stewarding approximately 500 acres on four parcels of land in Lee and Fayette County, while blending history with innovation through their Wagyu program.

From Meat to Genetics

The Weises began their Wagyu journey eight years ago, initially focusing on producing beef for their local community. Over time, their passion grew, and they expanded into genetics and breed stock development. Their program includes carefully selected animals. Their very first Wagyu bull came from Bubba Kay. Recently they have purchased an Arubial United bull from Kenny Landgraf, and an Itoguni heifer from Jess Wyndford to launch them into their plans for elite wagyu genetics.

A heartfelt thank you to our friends and colleagues at Studwagyuauction.com for arranging the Matt McEwan Memorial Sale in July. We are thankful to share the results of the sale as it was posted.

Thank you to all of you who participated in this event to
benefit the McEwan family.
