Valtu Maya ET is still waiting for her first calf. While the average calving interval in the Valtu Aberdeen Angus herd is 364 days and the average age at first calving is 26 months, Maya’s age at first calving will be slightly higher than that average. However, this does not make her any less suitable as a future foundation cow in our herd. Rather, it is the result of a deliberate breeding decision – depending on her birth date, she was simply bred a little later.

This is a good example of how the numerical indicators used to describe animal performance do not always tell the whole story. In many cases, these figures reflect our own breeding and management decisions just as much as they reflect the animal’s actual genetic potential and performance.

Every morning starts with checking the different grazing groups. Not all groups are large – some of our cattle are grazed in smaller groups on permanent grasslands that cannot be accessed with haymaking machinery. This helps us keep the grasslands well managed, prevent overgrowth, and preserve biodiversity.
Even the smaller groups require daily attention. We check that the animals have sufficient water and forage, and that wildlife has not damaged the electric fences.
A big advantage is having calm and social animals. When called, they usually come over on their own, which means there is no need to search for them across several hectares. This makes it quick and easy to ensure that everything is in order with the herd.

It’s one of those rainy summer mornings when you’d like to sleep a little longer yourself. Some of us are lucky enough to do just that – especially those whose day doesn’t begin with an alarm clock. ⏰

These are our new replacement heifers – some selected from Estonian herds and four young animals from Finland.

For years, we have taken new genetics into the herd through female lines as well. We look for herds that stand out for strong maternal traits, good fertility, durability, and functionality.

Our goal is to identify and develop new and interesting cow families that fit to the Valtu Aberdeen Angus breeding program – cows that will become strong foundation females in the herd, raise high-quality calves, produce excellent replacement heifers, and whose offspring may one day include a truly outstanding breeding bull.

The new ladies from the Taivalpohja Angus herd have arrived safely at the Valtu farm.
They will now have some time to settle in and adapt to their new surroundings before soon joining the Valtu heifers on the pastures.
A warm welcome to the newest members of the herd!

Here is a simple example of why calving should be closely monitored. Things can sometimes take an unexpected turn, and seemingly small, random incidents can have a significant impact on production results and profitability in beef cattle farming.
The calf in the photo is only 20 minutes old, and everything is fine with it today.
During the calving season, careful monitoring is one of the simplest yet most cost-effective management practices in a beef cattle herd.

Some meetings become more meaningful than others. This meeting created a mutual connection and sympathy from the very first moment.

Personally, I truly hope this will grow into a very long-term cooperation.

The newest sire in our herd — and a bull whose influence will most likely become very significant for future generations in our breeding programme — is Pirgo Kentucky.

Our ability is to convert these beautiful grasslands into high-quality beef. And this current breathtaking view — lush, intensely green pastures stretching across hundreds and hundreds of hectares — is truly mesmerizing. Knowing that the cattle are able to graze these grasslands until late autumn makes it even more special.
This is exactly how the world’s number one beef breed is raised — helping us produce top-quality beef and breeding cattle in harmony with nature.

Friday at the European Angus Forum in Romania offered participants a highly diverse program, combining beef cattle farming, the natural beauty of the Carpathian Mountains, local culture, and Romanian hospitality.

The day began with a visit to the ANDROANGUS farm in Cârțișoara, Sibiu County — a company built around a strong vertically integrated production model. The entire production chain, from cattle breeding to the final beef product, is managed within the company itself. One of the farm’s key strengths is its own slaughterhouse and the full traceability system “from embryo to final product,” which the company strongly emphasizes in its branding.

Founded in 2014, the company has grown into a herd of nearly 600 animals. In addition to cattle production, the farm manages a significant area of agricultural land for feed production. One particularly interesting aspect was the cooperation with a nearby dairy farm, which helps increase finishing cattle volumes and supports the overall efficiency of beef production. The system combines grassland management, feed production, finishing, genetics, and meat marketing into one complete production chain.

The middle of the day included a visit to the famous Dracula Castle in Bran, offering participants a cultural and historical interlude between the intensive farm visits. The castle, surrounded by the breathtaking Carpathian landscape, perfectly reflected the unique atmosphere of the region and helped explain why this area has become one of Romania’s most iconic destinations.

The second half of the day took participants to Vaduri Ranch, also known as Domeniul Vaduri, located in Covasna County. While Androangus represented a larger-scale and highly integrated production system, Vaduri Ranch impressed visitors as a warm and authentic family business where cattle farming, nature, and agritourism were beautifully combined.

The mountainous and stunningly green surroundings left a strong emotional impression. Aberdeen Angus cattle grazing among forests and hills created a picture that perfectly matched the ranch’s philosophy — peaceful, natural, and authentic rural life. In addition to beef cattle farming, the ranch also offers agritourism services, allowing guests to experience farm life, local cuisine, and the special character of Romanian nature firsthand.

The evening ended around the Vaduri family’s welcoming dinner table with dancing and celebration accompanied by live music from a local band. After a long day filled with farm visits, Carpathian landscapes, and professional discussions, the evening provided a perfect opportunity to experience the warmth, joy, and genuine hospitality of Romanian culture.
