Weatherbys Scientific announce partnership with American Hereford Association

Weatherbys Scientific announces significant expansion into U.S. Market as the official DNA service provider to the American Hereford Association

Weatherbys Scientific has announced its expansion into the US market in a significant partnership with one of the country’s most influential breed organizations.

Through a new agreement with the American Hereford Association (AHA), Weatherbys Scientific will become AHA’s exclusive DNA testing partner, bringing more than 30 years of expertise in animal genomics to the market.

“This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in our mission to bring world-class, reliable, and cost-effective DNA testing solutions to U.S. beef producers,” said Romy Morrin O'Donnell, International Sales Director at Weatherbys Scientific. 

She added: “We’re not just entering the U.S. market, we’re here to help producers make smarter, faster, and more profitable breeding decisions.” 

The partnership will bring rapid turnaround times and seamless data integration between laboratory and AHA systems. 

Bundled pricing for genomic profiles and parentage testing will allow breeders to maximise the cost of genetic testing with regards to horn/poll and other major gene testing backed by Weatherbys Scientific’s ISO-accredited laboratory.

Headquartered in Ireland, Weatherbys Scientific has served breeders across Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and further afield with pioneering DNA services. 

The U.S. expansion brings our advanced genotyping technologies and customer-led approach to one of the most progressive livestock associations in the U.S.
