What is the Register?

This Register has been developed as a tool for all Norfolk Island cattle breeders (regardless of breed) to encourage accurate genetic recording and promote improved breeding practises across the island.
It also makes public all relevant Norfolk Blue genetic records for those interested in extending the Norfolk Blue heritage herd.

What are Norfolk Blue cattle?

The Norfolk Blue line of cattle is unique to Norfolk Island and has been developed since 2003 as an open composite herd, initially based on combining black, white faced baldies, and Angus x Shorthorn genetics which started with 14 head of uniquely blue coloured cattle that were developed using line-breeding principles, and by introducing genetics from the Coota Park BlueE line (also composite of Angus x Shorthorn) and occasionally other breeds.
