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