Rare Breeds Survival Trust

Welcome to Dunlouise Angus

Our traditional Aberdeen Angus have no imported bloodlines. We are working with original British genetics and are currently using bulls which date back at least 50 years; bringing new life to old bloodlines.

Dunlouise – created from the names of our children, Duncan and Louise

And ‘Native Angus‘?

Well, this is a term that was agreed by the Aberdeen Angus Society and the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, with Geordie.

Native Angus are those cattle which can be continuously traced back to the origin of the breed, with no imported bloodlines, and are marked on the pedigree and in the herd book “Native bred”. The blueprint of the breed.

The provenance of these original Angus can be traced back 180 years, producing a high quality carcass on grass alone. These moderate framed cattle created the world renown eating quality; taste from the back fat and a buttery texture from the marbling. All of which results in a melt in the mouth experience!

We are often asked if we “do numbers”, and we do.

We concentrate on numbers that matter on the ground, and we can predict breeding attributes and values with a knowledge of pedigree and breeding traits of individuals.

Native Angus are consistently 5-8 days shorter than the average gestation period with a pure Native calf averaging 32kg (70lbs) in birth weight. This ensures an easy calving with a calf full of vigour.

Calves average 45% of their mothers weight at weaning, usually around 9 months old on grass and mums milk alone. No supplements. No creep feeding. All natural.

Young cattle will demonstrate early maturity allowing them to calve down at 2 years for those who wish, although we tend to calve more at 2.5 years old as we feel an extra 6 months means that heifers maintain flesh easily through their first lactation and start cycling early after calving.

Breed for conformation, don’t feed for conformation.

Docility is a much underestimated trait. We handle and see our cattle extremely frequently, so over generations troublemakers are identified and removed. This leads to maternal but easy to handle cattle.

Being moderate in size, 650kg is our average mature cow weight, it allows our cattle to utilise their large body depth capacity to convert second rate forage into top tier milk and first rate beef. Crucially, all done only on grass.

What can Natives do for you?

Full blood Native Angus may not suit your farming system or your customer base at the moment. However using Native Angus semen over your current cows; whether they are Angus, Brahmen or Bokolo, can reduce your frame score, add width of frame, fleshing ability and hybrid vigour to your calves.

These hardy cattle were sent to all corners of the world in the 19th and 20th centuries and not only survived but thrived. These hardy grass converters were sought after globally for the maternal abilities and the durability of their offspring, and still are.

One shot of Native can make the world of difference!

“There is no substitute for the original blood. We have been using these genetics for twelve years now. The results are exceptional, producing bulls and females that look the part and thrive in our dry climate with minimal inputs. It’s all about net profit in the end and the Dunlouise genetics pay their way here in west Texas.”
Paul Teegardin – TEXAS USA

“I switched over a few years ago and started before then with Jipsey Earl on my heifers. Best cows I’ve raised!!!!”
Lisa Millikin AMERICA

“It will be a pleasure to welcome you to our farm so that you can check the evolution of your genetics in southern Europe. Almost the entire Iberian Peninsula has ideal environmental conditions for the adaptation of native angus and its efficiency and profitability. Likewise, repeating the visit to Forfar would be a great plan for us. ”
Angus Montegrande Arconada JP SPAIN

To say (Jipsey) Earl has worked is an understatement. Those cows have been long lived, keeping and productive.”
