High EBV Wagyu Cattle Genetics

About Us

History

Loren Ruth started his Wagyu herd in 2008 under his Dairy herd prefix of Stonyrun with the purchase of a group of F1 females, a few fullbloods, and a group of pregnant recipients from Ralph Valdez's Creasent Harbor Ranch.

In 2014, Synergy was formed when we (Loren Ruth - Stonyrun Genetics & Joe Petit - Kentucky Stud) realized they would be able to accomplish more by joining forces rather than growing as individual breeders. We pooled our resources and passion for Wagyu with the purpose of developing an elite level of genetics in the Synergy herd. A specific goal was to identify and breed from the maternal lines within the breed that had a prepotency for transmitting their genetics to their progeny. The Suzutanis, Hikokuras, Okutanis, and Yurikos are a few of the maternal lines that sorted themselves to the forefront in the US and in Australia and were incorporated into our breeding program. As a signal that these genetics work, there has been global demand for genetics from the Synergy herd which has led to the export of hundreds of embryos.

Today, founding partner Joe Petit has exited the LLC, however Loren Ruth and his son Mitchell Ruth have continued operate and expand Synergy Wagyu. Maintaining the perspective that we can accomplish more through partnering with others, Synergy has developed JVs with several breeders/farmers in the USA, South Africa, and Australia.

Superior Sires

1) High Genomic EBVs

2) Elite Carcass Data

3) Elite Maternal Line/Pedigree

Superior Cow Families

We have specifically chosen to work with the Suzutani, Hikokura, Yuriko, Kinu, Hatsuhi, Umeko, Chiyotake, Aizakura, and Yasuyoshi maternal lines. By utilizing these maternal lines and their proven ability to transmit superior genetics and combining them with sire stacks of high reliability, high ranking and performing proven bulls we are taking as much risk and chance out of the genetic equation as possible!!

The Importance of Maternal Lines

1) Risk Management

2) Females Unique Ability to transmit to offspring

3) Marketability

4) Genetic Merit
