Over 10,000 bulls per year for BDGP

In the Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP), at least one stock bull on the holding on June 30, 2019 must have been genotyped four or five star on either the terminal or replacement index.

Or a similar four or five star bull must be retained on the holding until 30 June 2020.

“In other words, the farmer can lease the bull”, said Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney last week.
