Scottish farm to make Japanese Wagyu beef
Highland Wagyu, based on a Perthshire farm, bought a 300-strong herd of the Japanese breed, famous for a meat which the owners say can fetch up to £250 a kilo.
Owners Mohsin and Martine Altajir, from Blackford Farms, said the new herd will join their own “McWagyu” animals next week. The herd is expected to grow to about 1,500 by the end of next year.
