[QUOTE="Tim G, post: 6517602, member: 117"] I met one of the guys importing them a few years (5 or 6 I think) back at the Suffolk Show. He was there with them in the cattle classes as he said it was a cheaper way to promote them than having a stand. I'd never heard of these cattle so had a bit of a chat with him. They were bred at an Australian research farm for 30 odd years. From memory he said two lines were bred, highs and lows, as closed herds to see the differences between the carcases. The lows had better ko% and growth rates so that was what the concentrated on. I asked if they had dexter blood (didn't go down too well) but they are in fact pure Aberdeen Angus. The breed was quite new here at the time and the animals were serious £, I don't know if they have more about now to make them a commercial proposition. [/QUOTE]
