Wagyu – an increasingly popular breed in the UK, but phenomenal on the worldwide stage. At Wyndford we are keen to develop and grow our herd with the wider market in mind, focussing on Elite genetics and great quality stock.

This is why the British Wagyu Association are closely affiliated with the Australian Wagyu Association.
Wyndford Wagyu, the UK’s largest Fullblood Wagyu Herd was established in 2018 following the difficult decision to disperse the Maddocks family Dairy herd. It was at that moment Philip Maddocks decided that it would be good for his father, a dairy farmer of 67 years, to have some stock on the farm. Having tasted a Wagyu steak some years ago whilst on a trip in the United States and with the desire to do something a little different, Philip sought out a handful of wagyu and imported them from Germany. And so the Wyndford Wagyu herd began.
