This week we held a winter finishing webinar, hosted by Justin McCarthy, editor of the Irish Farmers Journal. Justin was joined by livestock specialist Declan Marren who discussed key factors to consider to maximise the performance of the finishing animal, as well as winter diets and ration formulation.

Beef and suckler editor Adam Woods talked about winter finishing budgets, system finance and cattle numbers for slaughter over the next six months. Finally, market intelligence and EU specialist Phelim O'Neill talked us through the potential implications that Brexit may have on winter finishing operations and the industry as a whole.
