Welcome back!
We are delighted to present you with the sale catalogue for the much-anticipated 2022 Genetic Gems Hereford sale.
The Genetic Gems journey to date has been a hugely positive experience for all concerned, couple this with the fact that the Hereford Breed is efficient, hardy and productive, has the ability to survive and thrive in all environments leading to superior tasting beef, while adding value to your business. We believe that the breed has substantially more to offer, and intend to create a showcase which further strengthens the Breeds standings and creates awareness amongst perspective purchasers.
Assembling this catalogue of Genetic Gems was no easy challenge, encompassing the country’s most highly regarded herds where the most sought-after genetics rest, we believe that this cata logue of Genetic Gems offers something special for everyone.
The Genetic Gems sale comprises of in-calf and maiden heifers along with embryos from some of the most proven female lines that the country has to offer. We, along with the breeders believe that these lots are an ideal addition to any existing herds or the perfect foundation to establish a new herd upon.
We hope you enjoy what you see and we look forward to watching these Gems shine in the future,
