Pedigree Simmental and Angus cattle bred in Northern Ireland have been shipped to Switzerland and Germany.

Pedigree Simmental and Angus cattle bred in NI have been exported to Switzerland and Germany in the past fortnight.
It is the first time pedigree Simmental cattle have been exported from NI to the breed’s native Switzerland in the 50 years since the animals were introduced to the UK.
The consignment includes two bulls and six heifers bred by the Moore family, who operate the noted Omorga herd, outside Omagh.

The remaining Simmental animals include one bull and two heifers bred by Richard Rogers, Portglenone, who runs the Hiltonstown herd.
Also shipped were two pedigree Angus cows with calves at foot, bred by Jim Morrison, Downpatrick, who operates the Lowline Angus herd.
The interest was sparked when a group of 30 breeders from Germany and Switzerland visited NI last October.
