The livestock demonstration featured a number of steers, bulls, dairy cows and sheep. The quality and commercial potential of each animal was discussed.

The options facing livestock farmers over coming years was discussed and analysed.

Some sectors such as the dairy enterprise will see significant changes because milk quotas are finishing next year and this major change will have knock on consequences on the beef sector in coming years.

This year for the first time sheep will form part of our demonstration and we will discuss the merits and problems of breeding and feeding the right stock for future markets.

The demonstration was held in partnership with Bord Bia and ICBF.
