Macquarie Wagyu has been shaped by more than three decades on this land, where a small Fullblood Wagyu herd grew into a program built for the long-term. Every season on this country, from calving through to selection, has added another layer of value to a herd built on patience rather than shortcuts.
That long-term thinking traces back to the Suzuki family, who brought a genuine passion for Wagyu to the property and set out to build something that would hold its value for generations. Anthony and Chantal Winter have carried that vision forward, season after season, decision after decision.
Our Wagyu are raised on Queensland's Darling Downs. The program has evolved through practical stockmanship, disciplined selection and a clear focus on consistency, quality and commercial value.
Macquarie Wagyu continues with one clear purpose: to breed Wagyu genetics with integrity, building a legacy that reaches well beyond the herds standing in the paddock today.
A legacy of progress
A commitment to the future of Wagyu
Macquarie Wagyu was founded on a simple belief - that world class genetics, bred with integrity and purpose can shape the future of the Australian Wagyu Industry
Chantal, G113 and Anthony
Its all about the females
All calves backed by years of data
Strengthened by data
Bred with purpose. Proven over generations.
Macquarie Wagyu exists to produce predictable, high-performing Wagyu genetics that create lasting value for commercial producers, seedstock operations and the broader Wagyu industry.
The breeding philosophy is clear: exceptional cattle are built through disciplined selection, measurable performance and progress over generations.
Every animal. Every record.
Advancing genetics with commercial discipline
Macquarie Wagyu combines artificial insemination, embryo transfer through IVF and MOET, and natural mating to accelerate genetic advancement while maintaining a strong focus on commercially relevant cattle.
Every animal is DNA tested for parent verification and genetic disorders, vaccinated, and backed by comprehensive performance and carcase data. This information is submitted to the Australian Wagyu Association, supporting transparency, traceability and integrity throughout the program.
The importance of data was shaped by experience. In 2010, Macquarie Wagyu culled BDWFC1176 based on appearance alone, only to later realise through carcase data that he was one of the highest marbling bulls in the breed. It became a turning point. Today, every breeding decision is supported by performance analysis, real-world carcase results and practical herd assessment.
