Since our last open day two years ago, improved market conditions for beef have contributed to a considerable strengthening of incomes on Irish beef farms.

While markets continue to fluctuate, the theme of BEEF2026 reflects the opportunity to build on this stronger position by improving the productivity and profitability of beef cattle production, while continuing to meet the highest standards in sustainable farming systems.

Generational renewal is one of the central themes of BEEF2026.

Key to this will be addressing work-life balance and improving profitability, by adopting best practice in relation to grazing management, animal nutrition, beef genetics, reproductive management, animal health and farm planning.

Information boards, expert talks, live demonstrations and interactive sessions will cover all these key topics.

The latest Teagasc research and innovation in beef cattle farming will be highlighted throughout the day.

BEEF2026 is your opportunity to see first-hand the results of Teagasc’s comprehensive research and innovation programme, meet Teagasc research, advisory and education staff, and offers a chance to discuss the future direction of the Irish beef sector.

We look forward to welcoming you to BEEF2026 on Wednesday 1 July.
