New president of Hereford Breed Society enthusiastic about future
Mr Jacob said: “Today’s Hereford breed has made an important contribution to ensuring Irish farms make profits. As a herd sire in the dairy or suckler herd, the breed has few rivals for ease of calving, docility, fertility, and the ability to produce profitable beef with moderate inputs.”
The new IHBS president said that the Hereford is the ideal carcass size and fits the specification of supermarkets and butchers. He is most enthusiastic about the future of the breed. The demand this year from both dairy and suckler herds has been excellent resulting in possibly the best clearance of bulls seen in recent times.
