The Angus breed was selected to be the
sire input into the programme 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 programme 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 programme – 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. The Angus breed was selected for
