DEAR SIR

Just a quick note to say that Aidan Brennan’s article in the Irish Farmers Journal on AI companies is super journalism.

I can’t understand how they get away with promoting genomic sires year in, year out. Close to half of these sires are never heard of again.

They seem to have left a lot of good bulls slip through the net.

Some bulls from a few years back reappeared in last year’s catalogue. I am only a 50-cow dairy man and am only after steady milkers with high solids. That article was just common sense. Keep the show on the road, push for the farmer not the companies making a lot of money out of the farmers.
