A rewarding career and lovely way of life

Irish Angus Producer Group farmer members discuss benefits of farming as a career. Ireland boasts an incredibly successful agri-food industry, recognised worldwide for bringing the highest quality produce to market. At the heart of this success story are the primary producers of our food, our farming community. However, farming as a career choice is increasingly challenged by industries such as technology which are often seen as more attractive propositions for younger people.

Certified Irish Angus is a sustainable beef breed, farmed with pride using traditional methods by small-scale family farms. Angus cattle today continue to enjoy a diet that is made up almost exclusively of grass which is naturally foraged.

The Angus breed also naturally matures early which results in fewer carbon emissions produced from each animal compared with other breeds. Certified Irish Angus continues to invest in and promote improved genetics ensuring that the Angus breed remains strong while producing even more efficient animals for our members.
