Winning Game Plan
“Sexcel® & Beef InFocus™ strategy alongside RMS has helped to transform our business – I will not be using conventional semen again!”
The Kerrigan family run a 200 Holstein cow dairy farm in Donemana, Co Tyrone in the West of Northern Ireland. Most of the herd operates around an Autumn block Calving system. The aim is to have all replacement heifers born in a three-month period starting at the end of August and then switching to British Blue semen. A Sexed and Beef approach alongside RMS has been used for the past two years.

“This initiative is in the very early stages, but the idea is for staff-led fundraising with each UK region’s funding going to their chosen charity. The focus is on supporting mental health and well-being in rural communities, and on building the conversation around mental health.” Ervin added “We decided to launch our fund-raising initiative in Northern Ireland to coincide with UK Mental Health Awareness Week.” Renee Quinn, Executive Director of PIPS, expressed sincere thanks to Genus ABS for their support explaining “PIPS Charity is here to provide support to individuals who are considering, or who have at some point considered, ending their own lives. PIPS also provide support to those families & friends who have been touched by suicide.”
