The Association is responsible for the validity and upkeep of the herdbook of Holstein Friesian cattle, through DNA checks and for giving direction to the development and promotion of the breed in Ireland through its many events and services. The association offers a Grade-up service whereby commercial dairy cows can be graded to full pedigree in three simple steps. It also offers classification/linear scoring, an online catalogue service, a genotype service and parenatge verification. We will have live animals on display in our stand which will demonstrate the typical pedigree Holstein Friesian cow. Our staff will be on hand to chat to you regarding our various services, including our Young Members association. We are promoting our new onlline catalogue service, our genotype service, and new breed statistics.There is a competition on the day, with prizes including a pedigree Holstein Fresian heifer calf.
