Change to pedigree of bull could cost breeders millions
If the pedigree status of the animals in question isn’t resolved, it could stand to cost Limousin breeders, both in the UK and Ireland, millions of euro.
Cattle breeders in the Republic of Ireland and the UK face potential losses of millions of euro because of questions about the parentage of the pedigree Limousin bull Ballinloan Jaegerbomb.
Fifty-nine animals with the Ballinloan prefix and progeny of Ballinloan animals had their passports withdrawn by the British Cattle Movement Service last week because of “errors relating to the registration of either the date of birth and/or parentage of animals”.
An estimated 500 Jaegerbomb straws have been sold in 32 countries, with 226 of his calves registered in Britain and 13 registered in Ireland to date

Questions about the pedigree of the 24,000gns Jaegerbomb first emerged in April 2018, when his recorded dam was changed.
An estimated 500 Jaegerbomb straws have been sold in 32 countries, with 226 of his calves registered in Britain and 13 registered in Ireland to date.
The Irish Limousin Cattle Society has suspended pedigree registrations and trading of Jaegerbomb progeny until further notice.
