MAKOTO are now proud members of the German Wagyu Association (Deutscher Wagyu Verband), and were happy to be in attendance at th 2nd ever annual European Wagyu Gala at Hof Holtmann in the Münsterland. Melanie and Reinhard Holtmann were the gracious hosts of this amazing event, along with Dr. Hubertus Diers of PrismaGen Wagyu Genetics. The highlights of the weekend included a wagyu-inspired menu at the Gala Dinner on the Friday night, demonstrations by chefs Lucki Maurer, Xiao Wang, and Bjorn Freitag, and of course the auction on the Saturday at which 43 beautiful full-blood heifers, bulls, and oxen were presented. An incredible experience and perfect networking platform for a blossoming market. Exciting times are ahead!
A special mention goes to Klaus Möbius, chairman of the German Wagyu Association, and to our friends and partners present - Uwe Jerathe, Jim Hoskens, Benjamin Junck, and Lucki Maurer.
