Invitation to visit Stand 20 Row LS Block 3
at the forthcoming Ploughing Match
The on-line semen company, Semenstore Ltd, has announced that it is launching a new site, www.semenstore.ie, specifically for the Republic of Ireland. Semenstore staff will be promoting the site from their promotional stand at the National Ploughing Championships to be held between 24-26th September at Ratheniska, Co Laois.
The introduction of www.semenstore.ie follows the tried and trusted success of the Semenstore website in the UK which has proven to be extremely popular since it was it was set up in 2009. Semenstore sales have been to the commercial and pedigree markets as well as to some nineteen countries world-wide including the Republic of Ireland.
Commenting Steve Jones, Semenstore’s Livestock & Genetics Specialist, said: “This is an exciting development and we are delighted to be launching the online www.semenstore.ie in the Republic of Ireland. Semenstore has been regularly selling into Ireland and there is a clear demand from pedigree and commercial farmers for both UK & EU genetics. The launch of this site will meet that demand and make it easier, cheaper, and quicker for farmers to source and purchase the semen of their choice”.
Building on a proven model which offers cost-effective and secure purchase of semen online, www.semenstore.ie will initially offer a portfolio of 30 bulls from all the major beef breeds including Limousin, British Blue, Aberdeen Angus, Charolais, Simmental, and Hereford. This portfolio will continue to grow over time as Semenstore looks to procure and offer bulls ideally suited for the Irish market.
The Thurles, County Tipperary-based Dovea Genetics Ltd, will act as the central storage and distribution “hub” for Semenstore.ie providing country-wide fast and efficient delivery to DIY customers or via AI Technicians. “Dovea Genetics is a progressive, and well established company in the semen and genetics business,” said Steve Jones, “we are delighted to be working with them and will benefit from the experience and professionalism that they have.”
The Semenstore model provides a fully-automated and comprehensive ‘one-stop-semen-shop’ that makes it easy if you are looking to market and sell, or to locate and buy, semen.
For those selling semen, www.semenstore.ie promotes and markets bulls in a professional, and efficient manner. Making it easy for vendors, Semenstore collects all monies due, credit accounts on a monthly basis and looks after all aspects of storage, delivery and stock maintenance on the seller’s behalf.
Easy-to-use, prospective purchasers can search, select and buy semen in a few easy clicks. Safe and secure, delivery and invoicing are all automated, and the order can either be despatched to an on-farm flask or through the AI technician network.
Whilst it is an on-line business, Semenstore has a professional staff behind it with Steve Jones offering a wealth of livestock knowledge and being a point of contact for both Semenstore buyers and sellers.
The Semenstore website address for Republic of Ireland is www.semenstore.ie and the new site will go live through September 2013.
