Dr. Jimmy Horner of Protocol Naturals Teaches Wagyu Producers How to Feed Wagyu at the Wagyu Super sale and Midwest Wagyu Association meeting at Lexington, Kentucky on the matter of Wagyu beef lipids

On October 13, 2023, Jimmy Horner, Ph.D., the founder and CEO of Protocol Naturals, presented at The Wagyu Super sale and Midwest Wagyu Association meeting at Lexington, Kentucky on the matter of feeding Wagyu cattle. Dr. Horner is world-renown in the area of Wagyu nutrition, and is likely the top Wagyu nutritionist in the world.

It is rare that Wagyu producers are able to learn from a master that is so knowledgeable and experienced that he is truly a legend.

Dr. Horner presented to a room packed with Wagyu producers, showing them his new Wagyu feeding facility at Bridgeport, Texas, which started as a single 1000-head Japanese-style feeding barn, and which quickly filled to capacity and is currently being doubled in size with the addition of a second feeding barn. He also showed evidence of how, at this new facility, he is routinely achieving results at the top end of, and even exceeding, the highest level of marbling (BMS 12) on the Japanese scale.

Dr. Horner then went on to openly and freely share his incredible knowledge with the audience, which as Wagyu producers, were blessed to have been present, covering important matters including:

• Fetal Programming
• Nutritional Management for:
  • Calves
  • Pregnant cows
  • Young Wagyu feeders
  • Wagyu finishers
• Not-widely-known secrets related to achieving the levels of marbling Wagyu are capable of, including the matter of Vitamin A and marbling

Wagyu producers are blessed to have Dr. Jimmy Horner, who is likely the most knowledgeable person in the world on the matter of Wagyu nutrition, and who is so willing to freely share his incredible knowledge!
