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 stand too.

Charolais
Purchased at Magny Cour Show in Sept. 2004 where he was much admired by many breeders from around the world. Has produced excellent calves in France & Ireland. Has a power packed pedigree – his dam Jacobine has produced regularly for 9 years. Jacobine is also the dam of Omnibus RVS (ISEVR 108). She is also a full sister to Liquer and a maternal sister to Galette – this being the top cow family in Jean-Marc Pacauts herd. Sylvain has the Length, Scale, Style and Muscling for the most discerning breeder. His calves in Ireland are displaying Sylvain's own best attributes - big with that extra body length so desirable today, correctness- standing on four good legs and his indisputable style. Probably by his daughters will Sylvain be rightly classed as a “breeders bull” - why wait any longer to use the natural and superior successor to Jupiter (breeder – Jean-Marc Pacaut). Sylvain sons and daughters have excelled at Irish and French National Charolais shows.

Aubrac
Despagnou was one of 3 out of 100 bulls that were selected to enter AI in France by Midatest. John Walsh, Ballintra, Co Donegal purchased the bull in the test station for use in his own herd. Despagnou should breed stock with good finishing qualities and high grades. He has an outcross pedigree so should be suitable for Irish breeders. Aubrac heifers due to their maternal traits make excellent replacements. Despagnou has been used widely by breeders with excellent satisfaction. One of the highest bulls available for Terminal Index. DPZ sired the top priced animal at the Irish Aubrac Sale in Tullamore 2013. Two weanling heifers also sired by DPZ averaged €1,450 at the same sale. •
Top bull for Terminal Index.
