As breeding decisions are being made this time of year across the country, it’s key to know how to quickly source sire information. The use of sexed semen, as well as high-genetic-merit beef bulls with acceptable calving difficulty and gestation length, can ensure a saleable calf with good beef value.
The Advantage Spring Dairy-Beef Series, spearheaded by ABP Food Group, offers comprehensive sire information to its customers. Oisin Lynch, the farm liaison officer of the Advantage Beef Programme, explains how this information can be found quickly and efficiently.
