Dam family history:  Traces back through the Lady Elizabeth line “This is a small and wholly Irish family, the matriarch, Lady Elizabeth of the Manor 7407 having been calved in 1882, on the farm of Fletcher Moore, Manor Kilbride, Dublin. Her dam was a ‘pure Aberdeen or Angus polled cow,’  Countess of Kilbride, by Viscount of Blessington 2391, himself out of an “Aberdeen or Angus” cow by Earl of Blessington 2060. This bull was a Mayflower of Montbletton, tracing back to Craigo 260 and Lady Craigo 99.  There are less than a score of cows of this family left, but it seems to be slowly increasing.”¹

A true Native Origin Angus cow from original Scottish and Irish imports, with no American genetic influence.

Sire family history: Kingston Farm, Angus Scotland acquired the only 2 members of the Jipsey family left in existence and has managed to expand this truly wonderful  family. The Jipsey family  originated at The Spot, at the very top of Glen Prosen in Angus,  with Old Jip (965) in 1862 bred by Arch Whyte, whose ancestors farm there today ² 

Dam family history: “Of descendants of this uterine sister of Lady Elizabeth of the Manor 7407, number 9027 in the Herd Book, there are only about half-a-dozen in existence, all in Ireland. The dam, Countess of Kilbride, was unregistered; the sire Corse 1688, was bred at Confunderland, near Alford, Aberdeenshire, in 1879, out of an unregistered cow. Lady Mary herself was calved on March 5th, 1884, the property of the pioneer Irish breeder, Fletcher Moore, Manor-Kilbride, Co. Dublin.”¹
