The Sher family have worked their way into award-winning territory with their Wagyu.

Since 1991, the Ballan-based beef producers have tapped into the genetics of Wagyu to cultivate the highest quality cattle and cuts. Now a known name in the butchers game, Sher Wagyu is exported to over 14 countries, working directly with selected distributors, and has a very loyal customer base in Australia, supplying directly to Melbourne and Regional Victorian restaurants and butcher shops.

Sher Wagyu is spearheaded by husband-wife duo Nick and Vicki Sher. Nick used his background in agronomy and agribusiness, following studying Agriculture Science at the University of Melbourne, to establish the family-owned company Beefcorp Australia. Moving into the Sher Wagyu brand, the duo breed Fullblood and crossbred Wagyu on both their Victorian and Southern New South Wales farms, managing all stages of production from conception to consumer – before paddock to plate. 

This hands-on approach allows them to produce a product that is world-class – think the most delicious, tender and juicy flavourful cuts to ever hit your tongue. Cattle are pasture-fed until 18 months of age, then grain-fed for over 400 days to create a delicious and consistent Wagyu. In 1996 Nick Sher pioneered in Australia the breeding of Wagyu x Holstein, the traditional Japanese F1, which produces outstanding beef over a range of marble scores. Higher percentage Wagyu Crossbred (F2 & F3) are also produced. Known as Sher Black in Japan, the brand is the most trusted in the business.

The care and quality of the product goes hand in hand, with Sher Wagyu continually striving to improve all aspects of their Wagyu breeding, farming, beef production, and marketing of this delicious beef. Adding to the experience, they also offer recipes and cooking tips via their website, ensuring their meats are met with the same love in the kitchen.
