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.

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.
