By Annabelle Holman


For a long time, man has domesticated animals for varying uses. One of such is for food production. It was initially adequate to keep natural species of these animals but this has been overtaken by events. The population is much higher now and feeding it requires much more scientific intervention. For such a reason, scientists have come up with better breeds like Irish black cattle for additional yield per unit animal kept.

Origin of these animals can be traced back to late twentieth century. Works that finally led to emergence of these Irish black were initiated by Doctor Lush. Boney just carried on with original works of Lush and eventually after rigorous scientific process, there was a break through. These scientist and company were able to come up with reliable breed to supply Americans and or global market with beef. Discovery of this kind came in time to meet food demands that are high and still rising.

Physically, Irish blacks are completely black as their name suggest. Occasionally, a red calf may be born amongst blacks. Frame size may be described as average and with sound legs. A closer view reveals average muscled body of a strong animal.

Ever since these beef cattle came into being, there has been a lot of interest amongst farmers to preserve them. Eventually, an association was formed to meet this desire. It is a nonprofit making organization which seeks to protect interest of all members. New members are welcome.

Rearing any breed of cattle come with certain benefits. For these ones, it is more than a benefit. Farmers gain far much beyond expectation. This similar experience trickles down to consumers who enjoy products generated by industrious farmers. Pure breeding and hence good livestock quality is the main advantage found in these cattle. They therefore yield to the expectation of individuals keeping them.

Keeping these cattle has made life a little easier for farmers. All of them thrive well in every part of American states. This is regardless of altitude; whether highlands or low lands. It can adequately resist common diseases as brisket. Similarly, a variation in climatic conditions as humidity and cold does not impair its survival rate. The animal has adequate hair to withstand winter times. In addition, one needs not to worry about feeding it; the animals can feed on any grass present in the environment.

Gestation period of this breed is short and therefore enable quick reproduction of new calves. Farmers must not wait too long to get additional numbers in their herds. On a similar note, fertility rate has been proven to be so high. A single bull in the herd can serve up to 140 cattle successfully. A further advantage is that one does not spend too much caring for the herd. They easily get acclimatized and suffer no much disease.

In summary, it is rewarding to keep this animal. Production is high per cattle reared, feeding animals is simple and vital information needed by clients is readily made available.
