Why this breed

The Luing is toughness personified, hailing from the Inner Hebrides. Strictly speaking the Luing is a cross breed, resulting from the inter breeding of Shorthorns and Highlands, though today is recognised as a breed in its own right. This inter marriage gives the Luing the best of both worlds: a hardy demeanour able to weather the worst of storms, and luscious beef ideal for the top table. Expect well-proportioned cuts, with beef that its characterised by its leaner finish and almost herbal taste.
