Irish Blacks . . . the Future of the Beef Industry!
Irish Black cattle were genetically developed over forty years with forward thinking progressive breeding of an entirely closed herd. This controlled breeding program was strictly regulated to develop top beef performance traits required by commercial cattlemen. For example, cows during breed development were required to wean off calves at a minimum of 60% of their body weight or they were culled. In 2006 (extreme drought) on the Diamond H, we weaned a calf off his mother on day 172 at an actual 620 lbs., his mother weighed 920 lbs. that day, an early weaning actual ratio of 67% in a severe drought year! The outcome of this performance regulated forty year development program is dominately pure Irish Black blood. That pure dominant blood of Irish Blacks now carries all the top beef traits desired by today's industry.
The Irish Blacks 99.99% pure blood is the result of a strict quality selection process combined with a completely closed herd history. Irish Black blood is dominate for all top beef traits, which means that Irish Blacks can provide consistent and predictable performance for commercial producers. Irish Blacks possess the strength to dominate when crossed on any other beef cattle. Simply put, when you breed any beef cow to an Irish Black bull you will produce a calf that has all the performance traits of the Irish Black bull because Irish Black genes are dominant over those of any other cattle in the beef industry.
The success of Irish Blacks in the beef industry is found in their homozygous genetic makeup. As markets tighten, this is an extremely valuable tool for producers. By using Irish Black Bulls producers can successfully predict consistent uniform calves that perform exceptionally well in the pasture, the feedlot, and even at the processor when they command premium prices for high grade and cut out. Make more profit in every step that applies to your operation by utilizing the gentic power of Irish Blacks Bulls.
