Red Poll breeding programme welcomes new calves
The Department of Agriculture is marking a major step forward in the development of its Red Poll cattle nucleus herd, following the birth of four calves between September and October.
The milestone represents meaningful progress in government’s ongoing efforts to boost local beef production and strengthen Cayman’s food security.
Dr. O’Shane McHugh, veterinary officer at the DoA, reported that five calves were born during the second breeding cycle – one female and four males. He noted that one of the cows gave birth prematurely and, although the male calf did not survive, “the mother is doing well”. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
