I took a look at the sales website for the company my father worked with.  They currently have one Wagyu bull available, at $50.  This compares to the Holstein bulls coming in as low as $20 per breeding attempt.  I am not certain where the bull calf market is right now, but I have seen it run anywhere from $10 to $150 per animal.  I figure that these crosses would land in that bull calf market, but at a higher premium.  I can certainly see both temptation to give the Wagyu breeding a try, and hesitation.  I suspect it will be a market in need of development to make it a solid go.
