Heartbrand Red Emperor
Heart Brand Red Emperor
Registration Number: AWA FB14999 AAA EAF82294 AuWA HBCFV2139
Information: There are foundation bulls, and then there is Heartbrand Red Emperor. Triple registered across three international herdbooks and backed by one of the most extraordinary progeny data sets in the history of the Akaushi breed outside Japan, Red Emperor is not a speculation — he is a proven, documented, irreplaceable genetic force. When you buy a straw of Red Emperor, you are buying certainty.
The Pedigree: The Greatest Bull Bred to the Greatest Cow
Red Emperor's pedigree represents the absolute pinnacle of what the Akaushi breed has produced outside of Japan. His sire is Heartbrand Big Al — widely regarded as the greatest Red Wagyu bull born outside Japan, the only foundation Akaushi bull to rank in the top 30 across all growth categories in AWA EBVs, and the premier heifer producer in the history of the breed. Big Al was himself the direct product of Dai 10 Mitsumaru — considered the greatest bull in Japan at the time of the 1994 export — bred to the legendary foundation female Akiko.
His dam is Dai 8 Marunami J19461, one of only nine red females ever exported from Japan in the historic 1994 Kumamoto Prefectural Cattle Improvement Project shipment. Dai 8 Marunami's sire, Dai 3 Mitsumaru 30, was ranked 3rd in the entire Japanese Red Wagyu Registry with A4 and A5 carcasses, and Marunami herself is acclaimed by established breeders as being on par with Akiko for the title of greatest Akaushi female ever to leave Japan. She also produced the renowned bull Tamamaru, further cementing her legacy as the most productive and influential Red Wagyu donor cow of her generation. The mating of Big Al to Dai 8 Marunami is arguably the single most powerful sire x dam combination ever achieved in the Akaushi breed outside Japan — and Red Emperor is its living proof.
The Progeny: Proven From Denver to Houston
Red Emperor's results in the show ring and on the rail are unambiguous. His progeny have won Wagyu competitions from Denver to Houston, and his daughters have proven to be exceptional maternal animals — combining his dam Dai 8 Marunami's legendary milking ability and udder quality with his sire Big Al's unrivalled maternal EBVs. The combination of top 1% fertility and top 1% maternal milk means that Red Emperor daughters do not just look good — they work harder, wean heavier calves, and stay in production longer than their contemporaries.
The Rarity: A Finite, Irreplaceable Resource
Red Emperor is no longer producing semen. He is gone, and the straws available today are all that will ever exist. Only 22 Red Wagyu and Akaushi animals were ever exported from Japan, and Red Emperor is the direct product of two of them — Big Al (born from Japanese AI sires before export) and Dai 8 Marunami herself. This is foundation genetics at its most concentrated and most proven, in strictly limited supply, triple registered across three continents, defect free, and backed by EBV accuracy figures that the industry simply cannot replicate from any younger or less-proven sire.
*Price is per straw. Shipping is at the cost and responsibility of the buyer…there is no guaranteed conception rate.
