Japanese say stolen bull semen a treasure GEORGETOWN (AP) — A rancher here is finding lots of interest in a commodity the Japa nese say was a stolen national treasure. It’s semen that was collected from four Japa nese bulls brought to the United States in a shroud of secrecy 14 years ago. Some people are now saying rare commodity that could revolutionize the beef the semen is a industry in both countries. The bulls, whose names were Fuji, Judo, Mazda and Ryusho, died of old age years ago. But they left behind a genetic legacy that has proved lucrative for cattle breeder Don Lively. His stockpile of semen from the famed Wagyu cattle (pronounced Wog-you), believed to be the only ones of the breed to ever leave their home land, is estimated to be worth $2 million. Cattlemen and agribusiness companies from all over the world have come clamoring to Live ly’s door here at the L0D0 Ranch to buy some of the semen so they can start breeding their own herds of Wagyu cattle. Lively and his business partner, Rosebud rancher Fred Hildebrand, already have sold off hundreds of the semen samples, used to artifi cially inseminate cows, for about $1 million. Each vial costs $250. “People used to think I was crazy for having these cattle,” Lively, 62, says. The Japanese have always been fond of the cattle and reluctant to share the breed with the rest of the world. They have closely guarded the cattle and steadfastly ref use to export them “You’d be classified as a traitor ifyoubro® it out of Japan,” Lively says. "The Japanese; resentful that we have Wagyu cattle. Some them won’t even admit these are Wagyu when show the cattle to them.” The Wagyu’s tender, slightly sweet-tas: meat, called Kobe beef, is considered a dela that fetches up to $180 a pound in Japan spindly legged and swaybacked beasts onceoi brought bewildered stares from U.S. breedo who pref er much stockier cattle. But ever since Japan said it would liftbefa f ort quotas by 1991, American cattlemen ungrily eyed the Wagyu.

But the Insurance Board crit icized the audit, which represents the second report in less than two weeks that has warned of problems in the insurance industry and the failure of state regulators to correct them. In a news conference, Insurance Board member Richard Reynolds launched an attack against state offi cials and consumer groups that have faulted the board for failing to un cover insurance fraud and misman agement. Reynolds’ broadside was directed toward national consumer advocate Ralph Nader, Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle, Texas Su preme Court Justice Lloyd Doggett, several state consumer groups and the Texas Trial Lawyers Association.
