Yuriyuho

Yuriyuho (rendered Yuriyuhoi in some listings) is one of the named foundation dams of Chris Walker's Westholme importation, the roughly 84 black females brought from ET Japan Company in Hokkaido during 1997-1998 — the largest export pool of Japanese Wagyu females before the ban. The consignment carried about 44 Fujiyoshi, 28 Kedaka (eleven Hongen-registered) and 12 Tajiri females, matched with the bulls Hirashige-Tayasu, Itomoritaka and Kitateruyasu Doi. Yuriyuho is documented among the dams that bred on in Australia and helped establish the herd now operated as Westholme by the Australian Agricultural Company. Her individual strain and pedigree are not published in the accessible sources.
