    unless cogent in england have sexed one I'd say you're out of luck

    I'm no help to you so. I can't say I've seen one advertised anywhere, though I've seen other breeds available.
    The Irish Shorthorn Soc would surely be worth a call?

    I did a bit of research on sexed semen last year as I was thinking of going down that route. The reason I didn't is because of poor conception rates and straws cost double the price of normal straws :( Also even though it has been around in the US since 2004 it is still in its infancy.

    you could try genus sires, as far as i know they are marketed in ireland through sligo ai or abs ireland, but in not sure if they have sexed semen for shorthorns the demand is prob not there to justify it
