Washington State University’s Animal Sciences Department will host the 5th Annual WSU Wagyu Production Sale on Friday, February 20, 2026, offering a select group of Purebred and Fullblood Wagyu bulls developed within the WSU Wagyu program in Pullman, Washington.

These bulls reflect WSU’s emphasis on functional, lower-maintenance Wagyu cattle that perform under range and pasture conditions, while also serving as a hands-on learning platform for the next generation of beef industry professionals.

A defining feature of the WSU Wagyu program is student involvement. Students participate in daily feeding and health checks, calving management, breeding decisions, data collection, and performance evaluation. These experiences prepare students for careers across the beef industry, while keeping cattle management practical, cost-conscious, and grounded in real-world conditions.

Bulls are developed on pasture and a high-forage ration to promote sound growth, structural integrity, and longevity. Only bulls meeting the program’s standards for docility, fertility, and performance are included in the sale offering. Proceeds from cattle sales directly support student employment and experiential learning opportunities at the WSU Beef Cattle Center.

The sale will be conducted online, with proxy bidding opening at 7:00 a.m. and closing at 5:00 p.m. Pacific on Friday, February 20, 2026. Bulls will be available for viewing by appointment leading up to the sale day.
