From Breeding to Fattening - Mizuho beef & various domestic beef shaping, wholesale sales "Shimoyama Chikusan Co., Ltd."

The result of this commitment is our "integrated production system," in which everything from breeding to fattening, shaping, and sales is done in an integrated manner with our group farms. At group farms in Ibaraki, Tochigi, and Hokkaido, we systematically manage approximately 11,000 head of cattle, mainly black, crossbred, and Holsteins, under a unique program.

For example, in order to produce high quality meat, we have developed an original formula feed for different breeds of cattle, a program that changes the ratio of the formula depending on the type and condition of the cattle. We also pay careful attention to creating a stress-free environment by keeping the barns open, airy, and clean.

Individual management to ensure consistent delivery of high-quality meat begins with a face-to-face encounter with each animal.

Computerized individual management of all cows has made it possible to monitor all kinds of data on individual fattening conditions, such as feeding, health, and weight gain.
Especially in the case of Wagyu cattle, we are particular about their pedigree and examine each cow individually before breeding and fattening them. From the moment the cattle are born at breeding farms in Ibaraki, Tochigi, and Hokkaido, they are input into a computerized system and begin their nursing period at a nursing farm under reliable management. The period from calf to adult is divided into early, middle, and late stages, and each time the calf is fed with the appropriate formula feed in the perfect condition for its growth.
Thus, our cows grow up richly thanks to our original formula feed that is optimized for the growing process, hygienic and comfortable barns, and loving fattening.
