Welcome to the Official Homepage for:
The Irish Parthenaise Cattle Breed Society of Ireland
The Year Letter for 2026 is 'B'
Parthenaise Breeders Please Note:
Following advice from the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine, we wish to inform breeders who intend to purchase Parthenaise cattle, that only animals registered in an approved EU herd book are eligible for pedigree registration in the herd book of the Irish Parthenaise Cattle Breed Society. An approved pedigree herd book is a herd book that conforms with zootechnical regulations under EU Commission Decision 84/247/EEC. Cattle not registered in accordance with EU Commission Decision 84/247/EEC are not recognised as being within a legitimate EU herd book. Even if they have Pedigree Certificates from an unregulated herd book, the certificates have no status (value) under EU rules (EU Commission Decision 84/247/EEC). To be included in the Irish Parthenaise Cattle Society herdbook, animals must have 2 Parents and 2 sets of Grandparents registered in a properly accredited herdbook.
The Irish Parthenaise Society will hold an online auction. It will run from 29th May until 2nd June 2026. Contact Ronan Carroll on 0876495743 to enter your animal. Further updates will be available on The Irish Parthenaise Facebook page. Online sale catalogue will be available soon.
