The Irish Limousin Cattle Society currently do not have confidence in the updated run of indexes, as we believe it is having a detrimental impact on the breed and our breeders. We are liaising with Teagasc, ICBF and the Department of Agriculture to address breeder concerns and remedy the issues with the new indexes, however we need the support of other parties.
The Oireachtas Agriculture committee are meeting with ICBF on Wednesday morning, December 13th at 9.30am.
We call on all Limousin breeders to lobby their local politicians in advance of this critical meeting.

The article below in the Farmers Journal of Saturday December 9th highlights the huge concerns Limousin breeders are experiencing and the impact on their livelihoods.
