Since its foundation in 1997, the Angus Producer Group has seen consistent growth, moving from slaughtering forty cattle per week to in excess of 400 cattle per week in 2006.

The growth is mainly due to the huge success Certified Irish Angus Beef is enjoying both on the home market and Europe.

Producers can now receive up to 15cents premium per kg over and above the factory price on the day of slaughter.
