For Beef Check The Irish Red Cattle

By Lila Bryant


Nations all over the world boast of the various breeds, species and varieties of cattle they have. These types range from beef specialties, dairy cattle, farm oxen as well as those put into a myriad of other effective uses. Ireland is well known for some of the most desired beef cattle species around the world most notably the Irish red cattle, which has put Northern Europe on the spotlight for more than 8000 years.

Initially made in America for its inhabitants, the breed possesses some of the most desirable beef producer genetics known in the world. The development process of the Irish hybrid has taken more than fifty years. The process of coming up with this gem, and the modifications to that effect, were done according to the basic functionality requirements stipulated by the beef industry in the States. The instructions guiding the development of this type demanded that animals should attain outstanding performance standards to retain their place in Reds Foundation of blood. This produced the efficient, feed proficient, fertile and superbly performing product which is a source of pride today.

This work is attributed to Mr. Maurice Boney which can be traced back to 1960, in Stamford. He stated and fully dedicated himself to the task of coming up with the great ungulates in Ireland. He goes down the books of history as the father of unparalleled and most genetically powerful cows known today. His interest was to advance a cure to the ever ballooning demand for better beef producer breeds.

The beasts are unique and have a high predictability of genes. This aims to propagate their genetic quality for fertility, production traits and promote increased production in beef industry. The beasts are a result of a very critically verified, closely controlled process with linear breeding procedures.

The red animals originate from beef Friesian genetic types with sections of their blood taken from the ancient Aberdeen Angus and combined with those of a well functioning female. In the course of this work, the excellent trading females were designed, followed by the importation of Friesian sires into Ireland which upon combination formed the outstanding qualities of the carcass vital in coming up with the best beef sources.

By 1971, Maurice locked the herd books containing essential information about the breeding process. For instance how to specialize Friesian blood in the Irish cows and give them protection. The process that produced the Irish cattle was successful due to the great amount of time spent and the many tests that were involved in the development process. This process mainly considered the satisfaction of US beef sellers and buyers. Several elements such as softness, marbling, and tastiness of the product were some of primary qualities considered in coming up with the final product.

The Reds of Ireland are serviceable, thorough in structure, and to a great extent, cut on the reliance on labor.

These animals offer dependable and predictable beef gene combinations which are used to produce similar qualities of cattle in America.In an effort to protect the purity of the breeds, its founder Maurice used secure trademarks.

The founder gives many reasons as to why the cattle are preferable such as, purity of their genetics, formidable concentration of genes, their fertile nature, great carcass quality, marketability and their adaptability to various environments.
