Traditional Herefords export embryos to Argentina
A valuable export order for UK cattle genetics to South America has been won by Traditional Hereford breeders, following herd visits by a contingent from the Goyaike ranching company in May 2011.
The visitors examined the cattle they saw in great detail, as they were looking for a very specific type of animal which they believe exists in the Traditional genetics of the Hereford breed. Growing their stock on tough Argentinian pampas land, the traits the cattlemen were seeking are what the Traditional Hereford is famous for; being able to easily convert grass into good quality flesh.
Following these visits the buyers selected cattle from the Albany (F W Cook & Son),
Shefford (Paul Carter) and Llandinabo (Peter Symmonds) herds to be included in a
flushing programme co-
This is a significant landmark for the breed, as the promotion of genetic export is a fantastic way to show what we have to offer to stock systems both in the UK and all over the world.
