At the heart of the Certified Irish Angus brand is a tradition of farming our grass-fed animals which has been passed down through the generations. Our community of Angus farmers have inherited a respect for the land, along with a great regard for our animals and the exceptional quality of beef they produce.
Our two unique schools competitions aim to educate second level students about the care and attention required to produce Certified Irish Angus Beef while also inspiring students to consider the Irish agri-food industry as a valuable career choice.
