| fullblood wagyu feeder steers and heifers 純和牛飼養用雄牛と雌牛 Explanation: steerとは食用として去勢された雄牛のことで、heiferはまだ子供を産んでいない若い雌牛のことです。100％純和牛で、飼養用に雄牛と雌牛を最低6年間供給する、ということです。 |

| fullblood wagyu feeder steers and heifers 肉用和牛の去勢や雌の子牛 Explanation: heifers are actually you female cattle which have not yet given birth （未経産と言います）、cows （母牛）, so these females will probably noy be used for breeding. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2010-01-28 11:13:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I assume these are all for slaughter and not for breeding since they will be needing replacment cattle for six years:-) BTW, 去勢牛 grow larger and produce more meat, but the most expensive and beef with better marbling comes from 雌和牛 (since all female animals naturally carry more fat (sorry ladies..ha ha ) . Just a little information in case you are interested. |

| fullblood wagyu feeder steers and heifers 純和牛肥育用素畜（去勢雄牛と未経産雌牛） Explanation: ここでいう、”feeder steers and heifers”を、大まかに”feeder stock”と解釈して、その後に括弧で囲んで具体名を書くと誤解がないんではないでしょうか。そうすれば、「雄牛（steers）が去勢雄牛）」「雌牛（steers）が未経産雌牛」のことだと理解してもらえるはずです。英語では雄牛と雌牛が「steers and heifers」と区別して書かれていますから、「雄牛と雌牛」とくっつけて書いてしまうと区別がつかなくなります。またジョンソンさんのおっしゃる「肉用和牛の去勢や雌の子牛」の「子牛」の部分は納得できますが、「去勢」が雄牛にかかっておりませんので、不適訳ではないでしょうか。 ◆ feeder cattle 肥育用素牛： 肥育飼育に入る前の肉用牛。一般には肉用のために育成された子牛を指す。（出典： 畜産用語辞典 社団法人 日本畜産学会編） ◆ feeder stock 素畜： 肥育を目的とした肥育開始前の家畜の総称。 （出典： 畜産用語辞典 社団法人 日本畜産学会編） |
