22 Wagyu Announces Acquisition of Elite Fullblood Wagyu Herd Sire DLT Goldfinger 985N ET
Jackson Hole, Wyoming — 22 Wagyu is proud to announce the acquisition of DLT Goldfinger 985N ET (FB131290), an elite Fullblood Wagyu herd sire selected to further advance the ranch’s commitment to genetic excellence, carcass quality, and long-term herd sustainability.
Goldfinger represents some of the most respected Wagyu bloodlines in the world and ranks among the top tier of the breed for marbling performance and terminal carcass value. With industry-leading genetic indicators for intramuscular fat (IMF) and profitability indexes, his addition marks a significant step forward in the continued development of the 22 Wagyu breeding program.
“Our goal has always been simple — produce Wagyu cattle that deliver exceptional eating experiences while maintaining functional, efficient, and sustainable cattle for the long term,” said Colby Carpenter, founder of 22 Wagyu. “Goldfinger strengthens the carcass side of our program while complementing the maternal foundation we’ve worked hard to build.”
The new sire will be incorporated into the 22 Wagyu breeding program beginning this season, where he will be strategically utilized to enhance beef quality consistency, improve grading performance, and elevate overall herd genetics.
The acquisition reflects 22 Wagyu’s ongoing investment in responsible, data-driven breeding practices supported by modern DNA testing and genetic management. By combining proven maternal genetics with elite carcass performance sires, the ranch continues its mission of producing premium 100% Full Blood Wagyu backed by transparency and measurable performance.
As consumer demand for high-quality Wagyu beef continues to grow, 22 Wagyu remains focused on building a herd capable of delivering exceptional flavor, consistency, and confidence from pasture to plate.
