Irish Pedigree Breeder magazine - ORDER IT ONLINE HERE for €4.99 incl. P&P.

This publication provides an in-depth look at the pedigree beef, dairy and sheep industries.

The magazine covers important topics such as the feeding of the show animal, the cost of getting a bull to breeding, up and coming AI bulls, changing stars and how embryo transfer can rapidly improve genetic progress.

The showing industry is one of the biggest parts of pedigree breeding in Ireland, counting massively towards the marketability of ones animals when it comes to the sales ring. This new publication also includes a comprehensive review across al breeds, looking at the highs and lows experienced in both the show and sale rings in 2016.

We also take a look at our biggest export market, the UK. Along with looking at their biggest shows from Balmoral to the Royal Welsh and everything in-between, we delve into some of their top herds, looking at the impact they have on Irish genetics and vice versa.

This magazine is a must have for all good pedigree and commercial breeders.
