Having claimed the Number 1 spot over 12 months ago it is a credible achievement to remain at the top echelon.

It is a positive testament for Friesian breeding and also IHFA Pedigree Registered herds.

The Coolmohan prefix was registered over a decade ago with Pat taking the decision to become a member to establish a pedigree registered herd through the Grade Up process. Milk recording, pedigree registration and Classification have all helped to develop and progress the herd.

A number of Coolmohan bred bulls have been purchased by A.I. stations.

Pat is a member of the Irish Pure Friesian Club and is also a member of the Cork Club.
