Here at KayJay we run a breeding programme that pushes the boundaries when it comes to performance and production while maintaining the functional, efficient package that the traditional Angus cattle beast is best known for.
Like many, KayJay has never been fortunate enough to have genuine scale in terms of farm size. Therefore, cattle and sheep have had to perform at every age and stage to make the business viable.
This is where the boundaries get pushed, and we learn what can be achieved when trying to add as much value into a carcass as possible, while maintaining the core fundamentals of a functional animal.
