Before turning stock bulls out to start the breeding season, herd owners should be looking to put cows in the right breeding groups to suit different herd sires.
Weigh replacement heifers before breeding starts and eliminate animals falling below target breeding weight. This will reduce the chances of heifers being stunted after calving.
In predominantly March-calving suckler herds, breeding will get under way towards the end of May.
Before then, farmers may be looking to sort cows into different breeding groups to suit certain stock bulls.
The well-known Aldi Irish Angus Bull Championships are back in 2022 and will take place in Iverk Show, Pilltown, Co Kilkenny, on 27 August 2022, 10 years since the show’s launch in 2013.
Although farmers are in the midst of spring calving, it is time to give the stock bull his annual check-up in advance of the breeding season.
