Warrendale built its supply chain on the ethos of finding a way to make the scheme fair to all, irrespective of where a farmer may be in the chain. It is why we are so focussed on the cost of production: because it isn’t just about the price at the farm gate, but how you can maximise margins. With increasing input costs, it is more important than ever that we find ways to optimise the cost of producing our cattle.

This is where buying groups can help.

Warrendale has already launched the straw buying group for 2025 and you can still order straw from us, as part of the Warrendale Community.

Coming very soon are two milk powders that can not only save you some money, but are designed to focus specifically on the needs of Wagyu cattle.

The two powders are called ‘Warrendale Nurture’ and ‘Warrendale Thrive’.

Warrendale Thrive is a whey-based composition that encourages optimal digestibility and development, early muscle and frame growth. It is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals to boost immune support and vitality.

Warrendale Nurture is a skim milk-based formulation that is excellent for digestibility and sustained nutrient release. It is enriched with MFGM (Milk Fat Globule Membrane) to really support gut integrity, brain development and immunity. It is ideal for use during periods of stress or high disease pressure, supporting calves through weaning, transport, or health challenges.

Jamie Brownrigg, Production Director said, ‘Having milk powder that is especially formulated for Wagyu will ensure the best start and development for the calves. And if we can help keep input costs down for farmers, it is a win-win situation’.

In the first instance they will be available for six months when we will review uptake. Look out for an email coming soon about how to place your order.

Warrendale offers two types of milk powder.
