SUCKLER/PEDIGREE BEEF SIRES
Welcome On behalf of the board of Progressive Genetics, it gives me great pleasure to present our 2011/2012 Suckler/ Pedigree Beef Sire Catalogue, outlining an excellent panel of proven superior beef sires, at such a buoyant time in the Irish beef market, when buyers are clearly signalling their demand for high quality cattle. The prospects for the Irish beef industry are very positive. International beef prices are very strong with international enquiries for Irish beef strong and growing. , Progressive Genetics and Munster A.I. operate the largest beef cattle breeding programme in Ireland through its joint testing and bull stud operation at the National Cattle Breeding Centre (NCBC). The NCBC beef breeding programme is designed to identify and test superior sires of each beef breed for commercially important traits. As you will see from this Catalogue, this highly successful programme has delivered a line-up of independently proven superior beef sires to ensure today’s market demands, of high growth rate, muscling, easy calving, quiet temperament and maternal traits, are met in an efficient and profitable manner. In addition to the sires from the NCBC programme, as a direct result of International partnerships and in line with our aim to meet your demand for high quality cattle, we have identified the best sires for the Irish market from the leading beef programmes from around the world, BBG, Sersia, KBS Genetics and Genes Diffusion. Consequently, Progressive Genetics have available to you: The top ten Charolais sires on weaning index; Seven of the top ten Limousin sires on weaning index; Six of the top ten Belgian Blue sires on weaning index; and Five of the top ten Angus on SBV in the active bull list. In addition to providing the best genetics, the Progressive Genetics Advisory and A.I. Technician team is available to provide professional advice and guidance to you, so that you are equipped with the knowledge to make rapid genetic improvement and to deliver the optimum breeding programme for your herd. I encourage you to complete the necessary preparation and planning in advance of the season to ensure a successful breeding program. I wish you a successful breeding season and thank you for your valued custom over the years. Yours Sincerely Dennis Guilfoyle CEO, Progressive Genetics

Synchronisation
Cows
Synchronisation is an excellent way to increase the number of cows or heifers served with minimum heat detection. However it is not a substitute for poor management. Cows have to be in good body condition and calved at least 40 days
BCS- Body condition score is crucial in achieving cows returning to heat and conception rates. Autumn cows need to be in a BCS of 3-3.25 at breeding, spring calving cows can be slightly less. Secondly the loss in BCS from calving to breeding needs to be minimized to 0.5. Always separate dry cows and milking cows as first calvers, thin cows, those with little milk need to be supplemented after calving until they go back incalf, the level of supplementation will depend on the silage quality.
Synchronisation Programme for cows 1st Dec. 9th Dec. 10th Dec. 11th Dec. 12th Dec.
Clean healthy Uterus At risk cows need to be treated for uterine infections 28 days after calving by your vet. At risk cows are cows that had difficult calvings, retained afterbirth, caesareans and those passing a discharge. Research has shown that Metricure at Day 28 followed by PG 10 days later to be effective. Any cows calved 40 days not detected in heat needs to be examined by your vet.

Get Body Condition Score right. Easy calvings and treat the difficult ones. Separation of the cow and calf 3 weeks before breeding is an excellent and simple way of getting cows cycling. This can be done easily by having an opening from the creep area out into a paddock and locking out the calves by day initially and into the creep at night allowing them to suck twice a day. This will get cows cycling 3 weeks earlier as was demonstrated on the ‘better farms’.
PG, GnRH, PRID and CIDR products are all POM medicines and therefore are required to be used under veterinary supervision.
Breeding Season- All about heat detection You will have to have a vasectomised bull or else use scratch cards or paint sticks. Vasectomised bull-A vasectomised bull fitted with a chinball either the cheaper ukal or the more robust harness is the best way to heat detect sucklers, as the presence of the bull will induce cows into heat and he will work 24 hours 7 days a week. Scratch cards- Scratch E cards are excellent however they need to be heated immediately prior to application either by a hair dryer or on the dashboard of the car with the heating up high, otherwise they will not stick. 47
