 Rather than follow fashion, or run up a blind alley with single trait selection, we have picked a commercially proven type (the only kind) that works for us and our customers and we will stick with it. We now have over 50 pure females to calve down for 2008.  Our small embryo transfer program yielded tremendous results in 2006, and with almost 90 embryo's in the UK now from our two Hoff females,  we aim to continue breeding Angus calves like this…………

Yearling bulls like this………….

Hard working 2 yr old heifers like this (NB no creep feed)……..

And cows like this……………

Among some of the herds we have sourced and have/had breeding females from are the following :-

• Crannich

• Galcantray

• Rawburn

• Scotch Cap

• Skaill

• Tullyfergus

In the build up to our current numbers we have used the following bulls:-
