Official Status
April 2018
We in the Droimeann Cattle Society are delighted to announce that following an inspection by DAFM on 25/04/18 the Society has been approved by the Dept to officially hold and maintain the Droimeann Cattle Herd-book. Droimean cattle have also been recognised by the Dept as a distinct native breed of Irish cattle This marks a milestone for our society as it is the first native breed to be recognised since the Irish Moiled were recognised in 1927. We as a society would like to thank the ICBF Weatherbys and Teagasc for their co-operation in helping us achieve this goal. We would especially like to thank Nicola Hobson of the DAFM without whose help this would not have been attained A public launch to mark this occasion will take place at a later date. Please watch this space !

1) To develop the breed, create and maintain a herd book.
2) To promote the breed so as to increase the awareness of the Droimeann cattle as a native Irish cattle breed.
