A Collaboration of Industry Leaders
The Marble High Wagyu Sale is the result of a strategic partnership between four powerhouse operations: HP Wagyu, Macquarie Wagyu, Sahara Park Wagyu and Arubial Wagyu.
Each vendor brings decades of cumulative experience, innovation, and deep data-driven breeding to the table.
With diverse pedigrees and breeding philosophies, the combined offering reflects the broader strength of the Australian Wagyu industry, while providing opportunities for seedstock producers and commercial operators alike to invest in some of the nation’s most progressive and proven genetics.
