Memories from the future

While in Scotland this breed’s identification with its origins are at stake, an unyielding zeal kept the Aberdeen Angus traits unaltered at Cabaña El Hinojo in Coronel Suárez, Argentina.

Mr. Luis Jaime Bru, one of the owners of Cabaña El Hinojo, portrays an account throughout time of the local Aberdeen Angus breeding experience.

The tracing of the breed in Argentina shows how the same animal was considered “big” in the 50’s and “small” in the 80’s.

Why these bulls?

Because as professionals we have noticed that the negative consequences of insemination have outnumbered the positive ones in the long run. These problems are namely huge bulls that sire barren heifers, calving complications, everlasting calves, etc.

Because we are certain that we must work with bulls with solid and homogeneous genetics in order to produce positive changes in a herd, not only with the offspring of two parents with solid physical structure or fair champions.

Because even though the livestock show business is special, those of us who work with herds daily know that fertility is of paramount importance compared to the looks of an animal. Also, the adaptability to the environment is the only possibility a dam or bull has of transmitting its inherent traits.

Because in our view we deliver an ideal size of animals as regards calving cows in difficult surroundings and quick fattening grazing steers with a reasonable profitability.

Because all successful productive models are based on “standard livestock”, bearing positive adaptive traits enabling them to adjust naturally to their ambience without any extra expensive support.
