Ireland’s largest cattle breeding organisations, Munster Cattle Breeding Group and Progressive Genetics, are delighted to invite herd owners to their stand at this year’s National Ploughing Championships.
This is a great opportunity for customers to get the latest information and advice from the experts in genetics, milk recording and herd health. Munster and Progressive Genetics are responsible for more than 75% of all cattle inseminations and 98% of all milk recording services in Ireland plus additional herd health services.
Also present will be the National Cattle Breeding Centre (NCBC), who operate the breeding programmes on behalf of Munster and Progressive. This is Ireland’s largest breeding programme, delivering profitable genetics to dairy and beef herd owners. Consequently, Munster AI and Progressive Genetics have nine of the top 10 most used beef and dairy sires in Ireland.
Munster AI and Progressive Genetics will also launch their new 2017/2018 beef catalogue featuring:
Newly proven Limousin sires Tomschoice Imperial LM2117and Tomschoice Ironstone LM2116.The new Simmental in AI: Curaheen Earp SI2152.Ireland’s most popular Charolais sires: Fiston FSZ and Cavelands Fenian LZF.10 new beef sires for 2018.BDGP information regarding the top sires available on replacement and terminal index will be available based on the latest run of genomic indices from ICBF.On the stand, there will be a live display of progeny from some of Ireland’s top terminal and replacement sires. Progeny from the new stars Curaheen Earp SI2152, Tomschoice Imperial LM2117, Keltic Handsome OKH and Jarret CH2221 will feature.
A video wall on the stand will show progeny from the top beef sires available and around the studs at Enfield and Mallow where Ireland’s top dairy and beef sires are housed in state-of-the-art buildings. These purpose-built buildings are designed to have the welfare of the bulls to the fore. In addition, the video will show the semen processing inside Ireland’s most modern and well-equipped semen laboratory. NCBC’s semen lab is equipped to ensure that all the semen is of the highest standard and capable of achieving the maximum conception rates in the field.
International
For international visitors, Ireland Genetics, the export division of NCBC, will be represented by Amanda Bogan, international sales officer. International sales is an important and growing part of NCBC’s business, with increased interest worldwide on NCBC’s breeding programmes – dairy, beef on dairy, replacement, terminal and polled.
From a dairy prospective, the talk among Munster and Progressive customers are the sires that top the EBI list. Also for next year there will be a really strong Jersey team that will feature the best sires available worldwide.
Milk recording is all about making your herd more profitable. At the stand, dairy farmers will get the opportunity to quiz the experts to make sure they are getting the full value from their reports and to discuss the option of added bonuses such as pregnancy and health tests using milk samples.
With nine out of 10 calves being born in Ireland from Munster and Progressive sires, calling to their stand at the Ploughing has to be a must.
