Irish Black cattle were genetically developed over forty years with insightful breeding of an entirely closed herd. Through careful and deliberate selection by dedicated lifelong cattleman, the Irish Black blood has become so pure that their traits are genetically dominant. As proof of their 99.99% pure blood, Irish Blacks have been trademarked in the United States. During the trademarking process it was proven that these cattle are significantly and notably unique to all other breeds of beef cattle in America. As a result of this quality selection process, Irish Blacks 99.99% pure blood possesses the strength to dominate when crossed on any other beef cattle. Simply put, when you breed any beef cow to an Irish Black bull you will produce a calf that has all the traits of the Irish Black bull because Irish Black genes are dominant over those of any other cattle in the beef industry.
