What an impact John Bruton made on Ireland and beyond. It's unfortunate how it takes somebody's death for their contributions to be properly reflected on, but such is life #johnbruton
Gerard Collins, Co. Clare, is the 2023 RDS Euro-Star Index Award Winner 🏆
Gerard is full time suckler and sheep farmer in the Burren in Co. Clare. He runs a split calving herd, Spring and Autumn, and use 100% AI.
ICBF have nominate Gerard for the Best Beef Cow Award for IE131022160727.
She is currently the highest non-pedigree suckler cow in the country, with a Replacement Index of €255. She’s had a calf every year for the last 13 years and is a superb example of an efficient and sustainable suckler cow. Interestingly, her sire was on the first Gene Ireland beef panel back in 2006.
--------------------------------
The awards highlight farmers who are using data and improved genetics to increase productivity, reduce emissions, and farm in a more sustainable way.
🤝 In partnership with @Herdplus & @SheepIreland

Great story on the genetics on Ger's farm. €40 increse on Replacement Index since 2018. Achieved through carefully selected AI bulls. "AI allows me to make much faster genetic gain than I would get from a stock bull"
Join us for a #FutureBeef Farm Walk on the farm of Wesley Browne, Ramanny, Co. Monaghan on Wednesday, 13th September at 5:30pm. Find out more here https://t.co/Fvf1d0egO1 @TeagascBeef
Fantastic event planned for Kildalton college celebrating the excellent performance of the suckler herd. Talk to John O Connor, Billy Fraher, Jamie Cahill, Joe Day and Declan Byrne on how they have developed the herd and farm to make >€1,500 gross margin.
The trait data recorded as part of SCEP is vital to the ICBF genetic evaluation process and directly affects the Euro-Star indexes of the animals. Therefore, it is important that the data is recorded as accurately as possible. https://t.co/XAimyJuJWV
I hope @andrewrobertso5 comes out and supports the official and sats it like it is. It was nothing. Mitrovic was banned and fined but his career isn't over. This guys career could be over if the media vultures make a big deal of it.
