In the picturesque Havelberg region, surrounded by idyllic nature, lies the extraordinary Havelberg Wagyu Breeding, which is run by Ronald Haake and Andreas Schröder.

The breeders have dedicated themselves to breeding high-quality Wagyu cattle, placing ethical principles, sustainability and mindfulness at the heart of their actions.

One of the outstanding characteristics of Havelberger Wagyu Breeding is the extraordinary dedication and care with which the animals are reared. Around 100 animals live on a generous 130 hectares, which provides each animal with sufficient space and room for a species-appropriate life. The breeders know each of their animals personally and take individual needs and characteristics into account. Regular veterinary examinations, a balanced diet and exercise are a matter of course for them.

The grazing of the animals, which lasts from April to November, is particularly impressive. The Wagyu cattle spend the majority of their days on the lush pastures, where they have the opportunity to move freely, graze and follow their natural instincts. Grazing contributes significantly to the animals' well-being and is an essential part of the breeders' sustainable and mindful practices.

Another remarkable feature of Havelberger Wagyu breeding is the classic suckler cow husbandry. The calves remain with their mother cows for 7 to 8 months without receiving milk replacer. This natural rearing helps the animals to develop healthily and benefit from the care of their mothers.

Havelberger Wagyu Zucht also focuses on special care and consideration during the fattening phase. The animals spend around 12-14 months in the barn with an outdoor run, where they are fed a high-quality diet of their own feed. The fattening in the barn ensures that the meat develops its characteristic tenderness and marbling and meets the highest quality standards

Another important aspect of Havelberger Wagyu Zucht is its role as a founding member of the Wagyu Verband Deutschland e.V. The breeders have played a significant role in the spread and development of the Wagyu breed in Germany. Their commitment and innovative practices have not only improved the quality of Wagyu cattle in Germany, but have also made a significant contribution to the promotion and establishment of this special breed in German agriculture.

Havelberger Wagyu Zucht attaches great importance to transparency and traceability. Each animal has a traceable pedigree, and its lineage and health history are carefully documented. This approach gives customers the confidence that the meat is of the highest quality and origin and meets the highest standards.

The work of Ronald Haake and Andreas Schröder at Havelberger Wagyu Breeding impressively demonstrates that farming in harmony with nature, animals and ethical principles is possible. Their tireless dedication and care for their animals, their sustainability efforts and the promotion of the Wagyu breed in Germany make them pioneers in modern agriculture.

Havelberg Wagyu Breeding is not just a place to keep animals, but a symbol of responsible and sustainable farming. With their exemplary commitment and ethical principles, Ronald Haake and Andreas Schröder inspire other farmers and breeders to follow similar sustainable and respectful approaches to create a better future for agriculture and the environment. Their vision and commitment to better farming deserve our recognition and support.
