The Angus breed was selected to be the sire input into the program for:

* The invaluable performance recording history


* The high meat quality attributes

* The availability of many sires with high accuracy and extensive performance information and multi-trait nature of breed

 

"Blue is the new Black"

The selection of sires has been on a multi-trait basis - trying to ensure that the bulls we are putting into the program are high accuracy.  We have used Dick Whale as an aid in the selection of sires; as well as the strong use of EBV’s.

These are the bulls that we have used since the inception of the Blue-E program – combining some of the best genetics available in the world – selected to combine with the Shorthorn breed and to develop the multi–trait cattle we desired.
