NOTES: MSMR0049 was purchased from the 2021 AWA Elite Sale from Marathon Wagyu. R0049 has quickly climbed the ranks due to data submitted to Breedplan which has increased his marble score to +3.2 ranking him at equal 7th highest marble score sire in Australian Breedplan and the highest marble score sire sired by DSWFN4431. Paired with the maternal growth traits of Hirashigetayasu and the marbling attributes of Itoshigenami, his dam currently has data indicating exceptional carcase potential. R0049's pedigree also contains an extremely rare Kensei/Takeda maternal line which is very uncommon in Australia and virtually non-existent in the USA. Pairing the maternal lines with perfect rotational breeding and correct sire stacking provides genetic diversity and unique breeding options. R0049 is a participant in the AWA Progeny Test Program who has recently ranked 9th highest conception rate of 35 sires in the program. Currently weighing 670kg (1477lb) at under 3 years of age, MSMFR0049 displays positive growth and early maturing ability with the rare combination of extreme marbling and fineness, indicating his potential as a modern marbling powerhouse. Calves currently on the ground exhibit phenomenal phenotypes in both bulls and heifer calves. Top 1% Marble Score, Marble Fineness, Self Replacing Index, Fullblood Terminal Index, F1 Terminal Index.
