Council Meeting Report
The CPBS Council met in Ballinasloe yesterday for its June meeting. A working group led by Denise Norton which was formed to discuss Dr. Jack Murphy’s discussion document recommended that colt owners be given the opportunity to bring their colts for a private linear profiling session in the Autumn before they are presented for inspection to offer advice and education to colt owners. It was agreed to offer this service at a fee of €20 per colt.
Once the show is over a complete review of the inspection system will be top of the agenda. All regional groups, daughter societies and members are encouraged to give their views and opinions on inspections.
