Dear pedigree breeder, Welcome to our new Prestige Limousin catalogue. The Prestige Selection is a range of elite bulls which we at Progressive Genetics have chosen for you, the pedigree breeder. These sires have been carefully selected & represent the best Limousin genetics available globally.
The Progressive Genetics team are always available to provide professional advice to enable you to achieve the breeding goals for your herd. During the year we strengthened our team with the addition of renowned Limousin breeder Philip Crowe who’s knowledge and experience will assist our customers.
Please note many of the sires featured are ‘pre-order’ & will not be carried by your A.I. technician. These sires should be preordered from Progressive Genetics at least three weeks before the semen will be needed. You can call your local representative, order on-line from progressivegenetics.ie or call the office.
