Aberdeen Angus bulls love independence and solitude, but some bulls form prides, surrounding themselves with several females at once. Females of this breed have a highly developed maternal instinct. They surround their calves with love and care, create "kindergartens" for them, where one cow looks after the offspring while the others graze in the meadow or go to the watering hole. There are also those who feed not only their calf.
Cows teach calves how to live on a free range, and livestock operators observe the behavior and habits of animals, but do not interfere with the natural course of events without need. To monitor the HEALTH and productivity of the maternal herd, Miratorg farms have developed a set of veterinary and zootechnical measures using ultrasound diagnostics to accurately determine the timing of pregnancy and identify possible deviations from the norm in the development of the fetus or the condition of the cows. If necessary, they are prescribed a treatment regimen.
The high level of veterinary and zootechnics ensures accurate forecasting of mass calving. Today, the number of Aberdeen Angus cattle on more than 100 Miratorg farms has grown to 850 thousand. New livestock complexes are populated with their own livestock, which is facilitated by herd reproduction and methodical selection and genetic work .
To achieve a good calf output in 2024 , breeding bulls are introduced into the maternal herds by the end of the calving period. Free grazing in the fresh air among cultivated pastures covered with lush grass has a beneficial effect on the health of the young animals.
