VetEmbryos - in partnership with with AJ’s Charolais and Mid Tipperary Co-operative Livestock Mart (Thurles Mart) - is hosting an online sale of top-end Charolais genetics.

A farm open day is also taking place today (Saturday, August 23) at Ballinlough, Co. Roscommon, with presentations on topics including donor management, recipient management, international embryo movements, and other aspects of the veterinary-led operation.

With a total of 30 lots available in the sale, it includes a mix of in-calf pedigree heifers, yearlings, and recipient lots.

Buyers can secure in-calf recipient heifers, implanted at VetEmbryos.ie, carrying embryos from leading cow families including:

Goldstar Falkland;

Featured sires include: CF-52; Texan Gie; Pirate; Neptune; Nevers and Reglisse.

One of the headline lots is Bostonia Tina ET, selling in-calf with a confirmed female calf due early spring 2026.

Sired by Major, out of Bostonia Lilypad and with Liscally Blossom as grandam, she offers depth of breeding and a track record of producing quality progeny.
