Unpacking the Wagyu Toolbox

There are several tools’ Wagyu breeders have access to, that can help them build a successful business. Our speakers covered various relevant topics and sparked interesting discussions amongst attendees. The day was attended by over 80 participants. The presentations for our speakers can be found on our website at https://5.tipsy.co.za/events/. Thank you to all our sponsors and speakers that contributed to the tremendously successful event. Special thanks to Allee Bleue Wine Estate, Charmaine Alberts, Waldo Scheepers, Deja Nienaber, and the Society office staff for their hard work organizing the event.

Our quote of the day is:

“Rather eat Wagyu Beef!” – Prof Eddie Webb on the health and nutritional benefit of Wagyu fat.

The day concluded with a gala dinner and prize giving. Congratulations to all our award recipients.
