Meet Kieran McGee – The Driving Force Behind Corlea Livestock
Behind every successful livestock enterprise is a passion for animals, genetics and helping fellow farmers achieve the best possible results. At Corlea Livestock, that passion belongs to Kieran McGee, who has built a reputation throughout Ireland for his expertise in livestock breeding, embryo transfer and ultrasound scanning.
Based in the hills of South West Donegal, Corlea Livestock combines years of practical farming experience with modern breeding technologies to help farmers improve the quality, performance and genetics of their herds and flocks. The farm itself is home to pedigree cattle, sheep and working sheepdogs, with a strong emphasis on breeding functional, high-quality livestock.
Kieran is a highly experienced bovine and ovine ultrasound technician, providing professional pregnancy scanning services for cattle and sheep across the region. Sheep scanning plays an important role in flock management by accurately identifying barren ewes and predicting litter size, allowing farmers to make better feeding and management decisions before lambing. Kieran has also shared his expertise with the wider farming community through features with Agriland discussing scanning techniques and seasonal flock performance.
Alongside scanning, Corlea Livestock offers advanced embryo transfer services, working closely with veterinary practices and breeders to maximise the genetic potential of elite cattle. Whether flushing donor cows, implanting embryos or advising clients on breeding strategies, the aim is always the same — to help farmers produce the next generation of top-quality livestock.
Corlea Livestock is also recognised for producing and sourcing elite show calves, donor cows and embryos. Great emphasis is placed on selecting cattle with outstanding genetics, correctness, temperament and show-ring potential. The business has supplied animals to breeders throughout Ireland and continues to build strong relationships with customers who are looking to improve their herds.
Education and practical knowledge are equally important. Through private training weekends and on-farm demonstrations, Kieran enjoys sharing the skills and experience gained over many years in livestock breeding, embryo work and show calf preparation, helping the next generation of breeders develop confidence and success in the ring.
As Corlea Livestock continues to grow, the goal remains unchanged: to provide farmers with honest advice, professional service and access to some of the best livestock genetics available, while building long-term relationships based on trust and results.
Whether you're looking for embryo transfer services, pregnancy scanning, elite embryos, show calves or breeding advice, Corlea Livestock is committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcomes for your farm.
