Black Osman’s sire Black Onyx is now proven to be one of the best Angus sires, inheriting low birth weight and high weaning weight, and this makes him popular for use on heifers.
Black Osman himself has shown stable growth, a calm character and, based on both direct and Neogen breeding values, he is a carrier of genes for low birth weight but good growth, easy calving, herd stability and meat tenderness. His dam is one of the oldest suckler cows in the Pirgo Angus herd, who has produced many good calves
