St Fort resumes live Cattle Exports.  Lincoln Reds to Northern Ireland
Adding to the interest in our Lincoln Red Cattle from Northern Ireland, we have sold and exported St Fort Jumbo to Co Antrim in February 2008.
We sold and exported some females to N. Ireland in 2006/7.  This was
Exciting news for the St Fort Herd of Lincoln Red Cattle as cattle were exported for the first time for 19 years.   The Herd, established in 1960 last exported cattle to Argentina along with other LR Breeders in 1976 and 1981;  at that time the Argentinian Short Horn Society were looking to improve the size and growth rate of their short horns and required the Lincoln Reds characteristics to up grade their stock by using the Lincoln Reds on their Short Horn stock.
