Meadow Creek runs through this valley which runs parallel to the King Valley. The King Valley area is renowned for its fine wines and foods.

Moyhu Wagyu currently run approximately 550 Wagyu full blood breeders. Cattle run on a mix of improved pastures based on rye grass, phalaris and clover with some native grass pastures.
Moyhu Wagyu have registered fullblood bulls for sale throughout the year.
With approximately 550 fullblood Wagyu breeding females Moyhu Wagyu can select from the best of these females for the production of bulls with pedigrees that best suit a breeding program to produce cattle that feedlots accept.
Most of the fullblood Wagyu cattle have a high percentage of Tajima blood while others have some Fijiyoshi (shimane) and Kedaka blood to avoid too much inbreeding and help keep frame size while not sacrificing meat quality.
