As Chairman of Irish Aberdeen-Angus Producers Ltd., I am pleased to report considerable growth and development from modest beginnings in 1995/96. We now have almost two thousand farmer members signed up to our Producers’ Group, producing top quality cattle for a Premium Bonus Scheme.
With the emphasis on traceability and quality of product, we are able to assure our retail outlets and customers of a top quality certified Irish product at an affordable price. Angus beef has earned an international reputation for its taste with food connoisseurs. It is our aim that we will continue to fill the market to satisfy an ever-growing palate for excellence. Suffice it to say that the better restaurants are our most enthusiastic customers.We are pleased to use them as our flagship to indicate what we mean by quality.
What does Certified Irish Angus mean? We guarantee that beef comes from registered Certified Angus cattle. All cattle come from herds reared on grass diets supplemented with native forage and cereals during winter. All cattle can be traced to farms of origin and all beef is matured to specification.
Agriculture in Ireland is experiencing the greatest change in its history and the future for those in it is uncertain. The Irish Angus Producers’ Group have a niche market for its unique product and believe this is very definitely the way forward. With a top quality Angus animal procured, excellent slaughtering and maturation facilities, packed and displayed to the highest standard, I am confident that a more discerning public will realise the benefits of this certified product that is available to them and that they can enjoy the fruits of an Irish group doing a good job with an Irish product.
