The Blade Farming business specializes in producing meat of the highest quality for the consumer and the meat being produced through the Blade Aberdeen Angus beef finishing scheme has been proven to be of the highest quality in terms of consumer requirements i.e. it is extremely tender, succulent full of flavour and juicy. Consequently we are actively looking for more Beef producers to join our Aberdeen Angus finishing scheme.

Aberdeen Angus cross calves arrive from our rearing units onto the farm at 3 months old and are reared on to be finished ideally by 20 months of age. This simple, extensive system requires the cattle to be grazed for at least 6 months of their life time and that they are finished on a high cereal diet with a mineral supplement. Cattle that fit these requirements and specifications, and achieve the minimum carcass weight of 245 Kgs dwt will command a significant premium through the abattoir.

More detail is available in the Aberdeen Angus Management guide.

The key points of the Aberdeen Angus beef finishing scheme are:

The entire scheme uses a carefully planned approach to beef production
First class weaned calves arrive to order on the Finishing unit
A forward price contract for the finished cattle is signed soon after the calves arrive on farm, securing a premium price for the cattle provided that they meet the target specifications
Cattle are reared on a forage based diet, as agreed with Blade Farming
Cattle must be grazed for at least 6 months during their lifetime
Cattle must be finished on a high cereal diet, containing a high vitamin E supplement to enhance the quality of the meat
They should be finished by 20 months of age, with a minimum carcass weight of 245Kgs dwt
Finishing cattle at a young age meets the consumer's requirements, and increases the throughput of the unit
Nutritional and management advice is available from Blade Farming representatives and our Partners in the feed supply industry to ensure that the cattle meet their growth targets
