There are currently over 79 marts throughout the country that are displaying Euro-Star and EBI figures on their mart boards. These provide real-time information on animals for sale thus allowing farmers ringside in marts to view the ICBF Euro-Star ratings for beef breeding stock and also EBIs for dairy stock.
There are currently 74 marts displaying Euro-Star/EBI figures on animals. The installation of these mart boards is still an on going process so there may be more marts displaying figures in the future. In order for animals to have figures displayed on the mart boards they must:
- Reside in a herd that is currently taking part in the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (SCEP) or a herd who is currently subscribed to ICBF’s information service ‘HerdPlus‘
- They must have an index that is above average for EBI or for beef animals they must be either 4 or 5 stars on either within or across breed stars
How can I get my animal’s figures displayed on the mart boards?
If you are participating in SCEP or a member of HerdPlus, your animals are currently eligible provided they meet the index criteria. If you are not participating in SCEP, you will have to sign up to HerdPlus in order to have your animals figures displayed.
The following are the list of marts which are currently displaying Euro-Star and EBI figures on animals.
