By Lila Bryant


World over, countries have various cow breeds, in the agricultural sector.It may be for beef, milk and its products, farm work or other uses.Ireland has one of the best beef cattle, Irish red cattle, which is best known for beef.For six decades now, the Irish cattle has been a great source of pride and economic value to the Irish people.

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.

Maurice Boney, in 1960, began and dedicated himself to the process of coming up with this breed becoming one of the great agricultural icons of Ireland. He goes down in history as the pioneer and champion of unmatched and most genetically powerful cattle today. His main aim was to provide a solution to the increasing demand for better and efficient beef producers not only in Ireland but Worldwide.

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.

These Irish gems are optimally functional, good in structure, and greatly cut on the labor requirements unlike other breeds.

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.

Reasons why the cattle are preferred are, among others, their genetics are pure, they have high concentration of genes, super fertility, high carcass quality, marketability and are flexible in various environments.
