Doneen Marleen Hugo emerges from west Cork with a well balanced EBI

ADVANCES in cattle breeding are coming up with Irish bred bulls which match the world elite.

Thanks to the systems being put in place by the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF), users can be confident that such bulls are reliably proved successful in Irish farming conditions — unlike a lot of the top rated bulls used in Irish herds for decades.

In the August 2007 dairy bull proofs, DEU (Doneen Marleen Hugo) emerged as a top bull, reflected by an EBI rating of €135.25.
