We offer to you our much valued customers, various bulls within each breed for the relevant markets which are Ireland is now fortunate enough to be selling to. We have invested heavily in our beef stud in the past few seasons and our young sires are earning a good reputation for the individual qualities they each are transmitting to their progeny.
GLOBAL CATTLE GENETICS AT YOUR FARMYARD
This year we bought a new Limousin bull Hadrian (HZH) for his maternal and growth characteristics. We also secured a proven Charolais bull Epernay (EPY) and the first Homozygous Polled Charolais to enter an Irish AI centre, Alwent Hitman P. Hitman was purchased for his calving ease and milk. We also purchased 2 new Belgian Blues, one of whom, Peintre de Roupage, has attracted considerable interest from Belgium and abroad and his semen will be available shortly. We also purchased a very interesting Aberdeen Angus bull from John Tait, Westellen Diego, who is sure to breed outstanding females and well muscled bulls. We also offer new Shorthorn bull, Ballyart Lucky, for pedigree and commercial purposes and this bull should have a bright future. Bova AI will also offer semen from proven Polled Hereford, and Polled Limousin bulls later in the season. Bova AI are currently actively in the process of securing new Limousin, Angus, Belgian Blue and Parthenaise bulls for the coming season and we will be updating our website and advertising in due course once these bulls become available. Bova AI would sincerely like to thank our many loyal customers worldwide, who support us and give us the opportunity to improve the quality of their herds through the range of bulls we offer to them. We wish you all the very best for 2014 and look forward to your continued support in our Beef Stud. Owen O’ Neill and Michael O’ Neill are at your disposal to assist you in your breeding objectives.
Please remember that we deliver to all other AI stations Free of Charge ROYALTY SCHEME - FOR PEDIGREE REGISTERED CALVES.

GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM A.I. • • • • • • • • •
Heat detection rates average about 55%. Improvements are gained by taking more time, i.e. 20 - 30 minutes on each occasion, and by more early morning and late night inspections. Although average heats last 12 - 15 hours, 25 - 30% of cows have heats of less than 6 hours. Prevent cows getting either too fat or too thin. Cows in condition score 2 - 3 (scale 1 - 5) are optimal. Thriving animals always do better. Avoid excessive weight loss around the time of service. Treat lame animals promptly. Breeding cows within 50 days of calving tends to give poor results. Never breed any cow with a dirty vaginal discharge or evidence of ‘whites’. Keep complete records of all cows that come into heat and use them to anticipate returns. Where cows are not coming into heat have your vet examine and treat them. A cow standing firm to be mounted is the best sign of heat, but remember 6 - 8% of pregnant animals will occasionally stand too!
