“We need to accept we have to eat less meat, because meat production is having a big global impact on consumption. So let’s value the pieces of meat we can, where we can, and connect back with their role within the landscape.”Aberdeen Angus is the “poster child” for native breeds, according to the Rare Breed Survival Trust, proving that the public will pay a premium for a named product.
Angus crosses made up 19 per cent of the UK’s beef industry in 2021. And full Anguses are also popular, making up four per cent of all British beef cattle.
