We are collecting weight records to build a clearer picture of how Irish Moiled cattle are performing in real working herds. We understand that not all breeders have access to weigh scales and therefore we have a number of cattle weigh tapes available free of charge*. To request a tape please contact the Breed Secretary by sending a WhatsApp to +44 (0)7842 185008
Understanding growth rates and daily liveweight gain helps strengthen the breed and provides useful benchmarks for members.
We encourage weights to be recorded at weaning where possible. If not, weights taken at any time are welcome, as long as the exact weighing date and full animal details are provided.
Please use this link to submit your data – https://bit.ly/IMCSWeightRecording
