Cattle Breeders: Pedigree Angus Cattle: Worcestershire, UK | |
| Natural DevelopmentOur herd of pedigree Angus cattle has been bred from 23 different female bloodlines. Whether buying bulls or
females in Canada, we conduct extensive research into their pedigrees and available statistical
information to ensure that our purchases are not reliant or influenced by price or prizes.
Herd
management for our pedigree Angus cattle at Nightingale is non labour intensive and as simplistic as possible. The cattle need to
develop naturally and the belief is that big cattle must be good and good cattle must be functional.
All our efforts are directed at breeding an efficient and profitable animal for the farmer and to
develop a carcass that will produce the finest quality eating meat for the consumer. To this end we
concentrate on depth of muscle on a large frame and structured soundness while maintaining fertility
and calving ease. We aim at a type that has length, cleanness through the lower part of the body
producing a higher ratio of red meat to waste. The females are feminine, upheaded, big, beefy,
structurally correct and with good udders. For 30 years Nightingale females calved at two years old
and are fed only grass and silage. Ultimately - "Form Follows Function"The pedigree Angus cattle herd is now closed except for a particular female or bull that may be
necessary. Our main aim and direction is to line breed to produce a pure animal that is dependable
and predictable which will be easier to merchandise with evaluated facts and not anticipation.
Today, much emphasis is placed on official records and we are proud of our achievements - without
abandoning our beliefs.
