Below is a copy of a statement sent by text on Friday the 7th of February to all breeders on behalf of Irish Limousin Cattle Society Council:
Due to the fact that we are now living with the consequences of the decisions taken in relation to the evaluations by the ICBF Board, the Technical Advisory Group (TAG), informed by the Teagasc Beef Economic model that was signed off without consulting or considering the implications for our breeders, we as a Society will be requesting ICBF to remove the genetic evaluation of all registered animals in our Herdbook. We have decided upon this stance in the best interests of our breeders whose livelihoods are at stake.
