Irish Blacks . . . the Future of the Beef Industry!
Irish Black cattle were genetically developed over fifty 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 had 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 three year old mother on day 172 at an actual 620 lbs., his mother weighed 920 lbs. that day. That's an actual weaning ratio of 67% in a drought year for a calf that is less than six months old! This kind of performance regulated development program has resulted in pure, dominant Irish Black blood that carries all the top beef traits to meet success in today's industry.
The result of such a strict quality selection process in combination with a completely closed herd history is POWERFULL, 99.99% pure Irish Black blood. Years of careful scientific line-breeding for top commercial beef traits means Irish Black Bulls are unmatched in today's market. Today, Irish Black genetics offer consistency, uniformity, and predictability to commercial operations. Irish Blacks possess the line-bred genetic strength to dominate when bred to other beef cattle. Simply put, breed any commercial cow to an Irish Black bull and you will produce calves that exhibit their sire's performance traits with few, if any, of the dam's traits.
The Irish Blacks strong dominate homozygous genes are the key to the success this breed is having in today's beef industry. Like a brilliantly engineered tool, an Irish Black bull will out perform other bulls in the breeding pasture, and more importantly, make a better calf. Utilize the perfect genetic tool...reserve your bull today!
