Breed Objectives
The Belmont is about a philosophy of breeding highly productive, easy care cattle, that are adapted to their environment.
The Belmont Red Society has based its standards on productive and adaptive traits that can be objectively measured and are known to be heritable. Selection is therefore based on accurate measurements of traits that are heritable and economically important in terms of beef production. Any Belmont animal must therefore be reared in a herd which has adopted a system of performance recording that has been approved by Council, such as Breedplan.
