About Luing CattleAbout Luing Cattle



A breed of beef cattle, known as Luing cattle, was developed on the island of Luing in Scotland by the Cadzow brothers in 1947. The creation of the breed involved crossbreeding a Beef Shorthorn with a Highland cattle and then breeding the progeny with Beef Shorthorns to result in an animal that is three-quarters Beef Shorthorn and one-quarter Highland. The red-brown cattle are moderately sized and known for their hardiness and ability to raise a calf in adverse weather conditions. In 1965, the breed was officially recognized by the British government. Luing cattle are still farmed today, mainly in Scotland but also in other parts of the world.

The Cadzow family continues to farm on Luing and the breed is popular on surrounding isles. Luing cattle have been exported to countries such as Canada and New Zealand, and are appreciated for their hardiness, ease of handling, and meat with marbling.

The average Luing cow has a lifespan that allows for the birth of 10 calves, which is due to the traits inherited from their Highland cattle ancestors. They have medium-length hair and a red or dun colored coat.
