OUR SOCIETY
image

Formed in 1998, the Irish Aubrac Cattle Breeding Society of Ireland is committed to promoting Aubrac cattle in Ireland. To date, it has achieved reasonable success in this objective and is now on course to making Aubrac cattle a dominant breed in Ireland.

Our new website www.aubrac.ie (launched October 2021) is our main source for all content. We encourage members to register their profile online. They will then be part of our community of members and can discuss all facets of Aubrac related issues in our forum. Also, they will be able to use the classified feature to sell livestock etc.

As the society continues to grow, we continue to create awareness to more and more farmers of the benefits to be gained from breeding Aubracs.

WE'RE SOCIALLY ACTIVE!
