About the society
The Irish Belgian Blue Cattle Society was founded is 1980. The aim of the Society is to preserve and improve the Belgian Blue Breed by adhering to a strict breeding programme which maintains the breed characteristics and using all available technology to improve the breed. The Society identified the need to “modify” the highly muscled medium sized Belgian type to better suit the Irish market for larger framed more mobile working sires for natural service on dairy and suckler herds.
The Society’s specific objectives are to:
- Improve mobility while retaining muscularity.
- Select for improved legs and feet and free movement.
- Select for more height and length while avoiding heavy bone.
- Select for easy calving.
