With a reputation of producing some of the highest quality beef in the world, combined with its ease of management, good temperament and hardiness, the Aberdeen-Angus is proving to be the most reliant breed for Northumbrian-based farmer, Daniel Whiteford. Responsible for the management of 750 acres of arable and grazing ground based near the Berwick-Upon-Tweed coastline, Daniel and his parents certainly have their hands full, however, they believe that the Angus has eased his workload and benefitted the enterprise both physically and financially. “The majority of our grazing is located along the coast line and is naturally a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and part of an HLS Scheme, meaning we have limited cultivation options and are restricted on our fertiliser inputs – so the land is predominately composed of unimproved pasture,” said Daniel.
