The UK's Limousin society has advised members not to use Ballinloan Jaegerbomb semen following doubts over the champion AI bull's parentage.
Investing in genetics is one of the most important decisions a farmer can make, but progress could be undermined by inaccurate parentage.
Dairy farmers are looking to get the most value for their calves by using beef AI sires, according to some cattle breeding companies.
In 2015 the use of beef AI bulls on dairy herds increased by 39% compared to 2014, an increase of over 11,000 births, according to the ICBF.
