We are delighted to present you with the latest catalogue of beef bulls that are now available
through the Gene Ireland program. The breeding program is a joint initiative between Pedigree
Breeders, Commercial farmers, Breed Societies, AI Companies, DAFM & ICBF. The aim of the
program is to progeny test high index beef bulls which will produce profitable cows for the
suckler beef industry. The minimum criteria for a bull to be included on the panel is 5 Stars
across breed on Replacement Index.
We have included a section dedicated to high Terminal Index bulls which are selected to produce
profitable animals for sale or slaughter. The minimum criteria for a bull to be included in the
Terminal section is 5 Stars across breed on Terminal Index. To avail of straws from the Terminal
section, a herdowner must order the same number of straws from the Replacement section.
