As the days lengthen, all you brood mare owners should be watching for signs of heat in your mares and writing it down or recording the dates on your phone - the maiden or empty ones of course! Have they shed their winter coats? Probably not with the recent cold weather! Rug them up, get Copper into them and get them out of dark stables into the light! Light is so important to help regulate the oestrous cycle. Any queries, talk to your vet! Pick your stallion and be prepared. Happy breeding everyone!

Anyone coming up the Castleblaney Road today who would pick up a box of semen for me please?

If you are intending to put your mare in foal this year, have you treated her with Copper? Copper max tubes are now available in Inishowen Co-op. 1 tube now and repeat in 2 weeks and then 2 weeks later. It could make all the difference!

Due to other engagements I will not be available from 1pm on Friday and over the weekend.

Just happened to find this in Inishowen Co-op. Start your brood mares on it well before the breeding season. As they say, every little helps!

Happy New year to you all. If you are thinking of putting your mare into foal this year, now is the time to start preparing her. Minerals and vitamins and especially the trace elements Copper and iodine are essential for optimal reproductive performance. Seaweed meal and Copper treatments will be a huge help. Is she too fat? Slim her down or put her into work and get her fit. Did she not go in foal last year? Then start early and take note of heats or talk to your vet about the possible reasons for her not proving in foal. Do not leave an older/problem mare until July! Information regarding her heat cycles is very useful to your vet so write the dates and lengths of cycles down! Happy breeding!
