Grading up your herd:
If you are milk recording it is now easy to Grade-up your herd to pedigree status. If milk recording data confirms three generations of ancestry the oldest generation is classified as an 'A' in the supplementary register.

Her daughter, if by a full pedigree sire, is classified 'B' in the supplementary register. The daughter of an animal classified 'Bsr' if by a full pedigree sire is full pedigree.

If you wish to grade up your herd to pedigree status email us a enquiries@ihfa.ie or phone our office at 023 33443 or alternatively phone the Field Development Officer covering your area.
