AI Directory

The Republic of Ireland Group received a grant of € 10,000 from the Department of Agriculture in 2017,

to cover the cost of collecting semen from five dexter bulls in order to have AI straws available to breeders.

The scheme has been in operation since then and the bulls shown below were chosen for the scheme.

The straws generated by the scheme are stored by Dunmasc Genetics.

Members of the society can purchase the straws for €10 each,

but must opt to purchase a minimum of 5. They are available to non members for €15 each.
