Celebrating 60 Years of Agricultural Community: Dovea Genetics Proud to Support Mid-Tipp Mart Anniversary & Charity Auction
For six decades, Mid-Tipp Mart in Thurles has stood as a cornerstone of the Irish agricultural landscape - a vibrant hub where livestock, legacy, and community intersect. Recently, Dovea Genetics had the absolute privilege of joining farmers, families, and industry partners to mark this magnificent 60th Anniversary milestone.
As part of the celebrations, the team from Dovea Genetics was delighted to present at the event, sharing insights into modern breeding, genetic progress, and the exciting future of Irish farming.
However, the true highlight of the event went far beyond livestock trade: it was a powerful demonstration of the generosity and solidarity that defines our farming community.

Supporting Vital Causes: The Charity Bullock Auction
To mark this historic anniversary, Mid Tipp Mart organised a special charity auction featuring three donated bullocks, with all proceeds raised dedicated to two incredible organisations: North Tipperary Hospice and Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, the LauraLynn Foundation
Dovea Genetics was honoured to secure the winning bid on one of the charity bullocks, contributing directly to these invaluable services.

North Tipperary Hospice provides compassionate, essential palliative care and support to individuals and families facing life-limiting illnesses right here in our local community.
The LauraLynn Foundation offers specialised hospice and palliative care for children with life-limiting conditions, giving vital support and respite to families during their most challenging times.
Knowing the extraordinary impact both charities have on local families, we were proud to play a small part in ensuring their crucial work continues.
A Shared Commitment to the Future
Our partnership with Mid-Tipp Mart spans generations. Both of our organisations share a deep-rooted commitment to supporting local farmers, advancing the quality of Irish livestock, and fostering strong rural communities.

Seeing the ring filled with supporters, bidders, and well-wishers celebrating 60 years of history served as a wonderful reminder of what makes Irish agriculture so unique: a shared commitment not just to outstanding farming practices, but to taking care of one another.
On behalf of everyone at Dovea Genetics, we extend our warmest congratulations to the management, staff, board, and patrons of Mid-Tipp Mart on reaching this magnificent 60-year milestone.
Here’s to many more decades of growth, partnership, and success in Thurles!
