Aberdeen Angus bulls in the Catriona’s herd are unlike
any others in the U.K. as they come from hand-selected donor cows
whose embryos are imported from the U.S.A.
Our primary objective is not to compete in the show ring, but
to increase the profitability of Aberdeen Angus beef production
for both the farmer and the processor.
The farmer gets added muscle and vastly increased weight gain
with the ability to convert forage (which is increasingly becoming
a requirement of the processors to avoid animals becoming over-fat).
The processor gets high tenderness carcasses, therefore reducing
the necessary hanging time.
Rib-eyes from our herd are larger
too.
We currently (as of 1st quarter 2007) have 2 bulls for sale
that are ready to work, both of which have tested 10*star for
tenderness (the max. score).
