Wagyu Producer Open Day

Warrendale Wagyu held a Wagyu Producer Open Day on Thursday 16th August, Kindly held by John and Dot Mann of Crooklands Farm, based in Cumbria. The day was a great success, with over 150 farmers gathering from across the county. The day gave potential farmer partners the chance to see what Wagyu entails, and to see first hand the impacts our integrated Wagyu Beef Scheme has had on John and Dot's business. It was also a fantastic opportunity to speak to some of our current farmer partners who attended the event.
