Merzauer Agrar GmbH Secures Wagyu Herd and Jobs in Thuringia

Merzauer Agrar GmbH has signed contracts to manage a Wagyu herd of over 350 animals. This comes after the cattle's previous owner, a top European breeding farm, declared bankruptcy in the summer of 2024. The decision supports both animal welfare and regional economic stability. A team, including employees from the bankrupt firm, will aid in this transition.

Denise Ulbrich, Managing Partner of Merzauer Agrar GmbH, emphasized the importance of continuing high-quality Wagyu breeding while securing jobs in Thuringia. The company plans to integrate sustainable breeding methods with a focus on genetic optimization.

Known for its marbled and tender meat, Wagyu cattle require careful breeding practices. Merzauer is committed to ensuring these standards through innovative approaches and by bolstering local economies.
