About
The Ampertaine herd of pedigree Limousins is run by the McKay family, William and his wife Jean and their son James at Maghera, Co Derry.
More >>>Sires
All sires used are used by AI, with no stock bulls kept for the herd. We believe using AI gives us access to the best Limousin genetics available while also helping maintain the herd's health status as no animals are brought in to the herd.
More >>>Cows
As with any leading herd the female foundation is the core component of the Ampertaine herd and breeding feminine, easily calved, naturally fleshed and milky cows is the ongoing aim of the herd’s breeding strategy. More >>>
