Mr. Sean Coughlan:

I already mentioned that the Dexter is a niche breed, a native breed with a very specific purpose. Anybody that is engaging in a discussion about comparing Dexters and Charolais is not serious about having a discussion about the direction of the national suckler herd. I am not going to diminish the role the Dexters have to play in a small niche but if we are serious about the national herd, the breed profile of the national herd has not changed over the past 15 years. We have had good solid data on the national herd since 2008 and in that timeframe, the Charolais and the Limousin had 51.3% in 2008 and 51.5% now. That has not really changed. The percentage of Angus and Hereford has not changed, in fact if anything it has dropped a small bit. If we are serious about moving the dial on the national herd and improving the profitability, we are working with the main breeds that are part of it because largely as I said earlier, people going out to buy or breed animals are going to choose the breed first and then work with the animals within that breed. That is the psychology of farmers.
