Irish Red Cattle Offers Good Value

By Patty Goff


In every house hold there is at least one form of meat in the freezer. Not many are fazed about where the meat they eat is from of what it might contain, but for some people it is important to know information about the food especially the meat they eat. A much known source of meat will be the Irish Red Cattle, it is known for its good quality beef.

It is very important as a farmer to make sure the cattle stays pure breed to insure the quality of the meat is a high quality.And nothing, but the best for those whom choose to enjoy the meat the farmer has to offer. This is something called a line breed this is a type of cattle that is only consists of the black and red cow for the past forty years.

A healthy animal will produce good meat and a good production if maintained. What many people don't realize is that there is far more that goes into meat that you buy from the shop. Firstly you need to be a farmer who knows the history of the specific animal, and how to maintain the animal correctly.

The color and the texture of the meat are, so different. It is easily seen this special breed has been well looked after and worth its money.Not only does this breed provide good quality beef, but it also offers a good quality genetic line to breed with the animal.

For a more simple explanation, think about a dog. It is just a dog, but if you are planning to have a well -trained dog it is better to have a pure breed. The same with cattle, the minute the breed is no longer pure there are no guarantee that the meat it produce will be of a good quality or even a defect.

Many animals are heterozygous in the United Sates.And this can cause a low quality production line and the ability to carry on with the original genetics to produce consistency. Not only is this bad for the animals, but the farmer is unable to reassure the quality of the meat as it will be different each time.

Some may be of an average quality and others of a much lower quality. And this can be so frustrating to the buyer as well as the seller.You all know perfection is impossible.

It is very true that a small percentage is not suitable for the strong genetic line to produce good meat but it is as low as two percent. The number of the low genetic breed reduces yearly and farmers are working on it to prevent it completely. It is all about what the animals are fed and looked after that makes a difference to the quality and the breed is maintained and well kept under observation as it has been for over fifty years.
