DAIRY BEEF DIRECTORY
INTRODUCTION
INDEX
Welcome to our 2021 Dairy Beef Catalogue. This is our best ever selection of dairy beef sires across all breeds to suit your farming system.
Easy Calving
We have categorised our sires based on the different market demands we have for our dairy beef sires. These include: Easy Calving, Early Maturing Finishers, Continental Breeds, New for 2021, and Alternative Breeds. We hope this will guide you to the sires you require to allow for a succesful calving season. Dovea Genetics are committed to providing farmers with sires that will be profitable and efficient. Through various involvement in the industry such as The Irish Farmers Journal Thrive programme, we continue to monitor our sires performances. We have detailed the journey so far of the Thrive demonstration farm on pages 19 & 20. Dovea Genetics are also involved in the Irish Limo Shortgest Programme. Young bulls are selected on predicted indexes. Once inspections are carried out bulls will be purchased in conjunction with the Irish Limousin Society. The goal of this programme is to source short gestation sires. The genetic indexes displayed include the DBI, Dairy Cow & Heifer Calving Difficulty, Gestation Length and Carcass Weight. The values are based on the January 2021 ICBF genetic evaluation.

CONTINENTAL BREEDS
“The success of any dairy calf to beef system is defined by three key factors; animal health, nutrition and genetics. While health and nutrition must be monitored and managed on a daily basis, genetics simply has be correct from day one. Over the past few years the Thrive programme has shown that selecting calves from known high beef value DBI sires will lead to increased profitability at farm level. There is huge scope within the dairy beef industry for further genetic improvement in the coming years that will benefit both beef, and dairy farmer alike.”
