Dovea Genetics is a renowned brand operating a successful beef and breeding program, focusing on producing the highest quality bull semen in a controlled laboratory environment. With a rich history dating back to the 18th century, Dovea Genetics is committed to the betterment of the farming community. Their impressive bull stud, situated on 200 hectares of exceptional grassland, houses 120 bulls that produce semen under strict monitoring and auditing by the Department of Agriculture.

They have both a dairy and beef breeding program, aiming to identify the best bulls for both sectors. For the dairy breeding program, Dovea Genetics employs a comprehensive genomics program, selecting the top-quality Holstein bull calves that undergo genotyping annually. Additionally, they annually purchase outcross pure Friesian test bulls.

These young bulls then enter a national progeny test program, supervised by the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation. Their beef program is equally comprehensive, sourcing the finest young bulls from various sources such as performance test stations, farms, shows, and sales. They offer a wide range of beef bulls covering various markets, including dairy, replacement, weanling export, and beef finishing.

At Dovea Genetics, their primary aim is to enhance the genetic merit of the Irish cattle herd, both dairy and beef, by providing the best available genetics. Ultimately, this results in improved efficiencies, healthier livestock, and increased profitability for farmers.
