Several breed society representatives have pulled their support for the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF) as the fall-out over the star system has reached breaking point.
The Pedigree Breeders' Council of Ireland made a no-confidence vote in the ICBF on Friday, February 14, and requested an independent audit of the Euro Star system is carried out.
