Our Wagyu farmers

West Family

West Family

Grant and Christine West farm at Tangiteroria in Northland. The West family have been with Firstlight Wagyu since its inception. They have been finishing steers and heifers for 3 years.

Grant and Christine together with Grants mother Joy and their three children run a sheep and beef property west of Whangarei Northland. “As a multi-generational family business taking care our people, land and animals is vital to our families future.  The integrity of Firstlight and the people involved with it, fits well with our way of doing business.  To be able to supply a product to our customers that has a great story, cared for by great people along the chain and is a great eating experience…is very rewarding.”  They were humbled to  receive the Firstlight Wagyu supplier of the year award 2014/2015.
