We are excited to announce our Breed a Roan Scheme for 2024. The project will see the distribution of straws from Glann Jenson SH9367 & Doon Giorgio SH2360 FREE of charge to qualifying farmers. We are welcoming farmers seeking to use Beef Shorthorn in their enterprise to apply for FIVE straws.

The straws will be available to use on LM & LMX cows only (no use on heifers).

With more and more farmers becoming aware of the benefits of Shorthorn genetics in their herds, from their super maternal qualities to their much sought-after roan colouring, Shorthorn cattle have made huge progress in the last number of years in showcasing their commercial attributes. Shorthorn-sired animals are also eligible for bonus payments under the Shorthorn Marketing Company’s beef scheme.

Straws will be provided free of charge to successful applications on a first come first served basis and will be delivered to your AI technician or farm flask.

With demand expected to be high, breeders are asked to get their names in as quickly as possible.

Terms & Conditions: This scheme is only available for use on LM or LMX cows. It is only available in ROI. Straws must be used this 2024 breeding season. Applicants must answer a number of qualifying questions and must be willing to give feedback in 2025 when calves are on the ground.

Closing date: Friday 10th May. Supplies limited so don’t delay!
