before entering the herdbook as a registered Wagyu.</p> <h5>Record Growth</h5> <p>Demand and enthusiasm for Wagyu in America is at an all-time high. The opportunity to join other Wagyu breeders during this period of expansion has never been greater.</p> <a href="https://wagyu.org/company/join-the-awa" class="rd-button" target="">Become a
