James Henderson will host an AgriSearch farm walk on 26 June. \ Colum Lynch
AgriSearch is holding a GrassCheck farm walk on the farm of James Henderson near Kilkeel on Thursday 26 June at 7pm on how it plays a crucial role in driving performance and profitability.
James farms 150 acres with an autumn-born dairy calf-to-beef enterprise and lowland sheep enterprise.
James rears 80 to 90 dairy origin beef calves to slaughter with an impressive daily liveweight gain with minimal concentrate inputs by maximising his use of high-quality grazed grass and silage.
Adapted
The farm has been adapted to cope during periods of extreme low rainfall by excellent grassland management and introducing multi-species swards and red clover.
The farm walk will include stops on grazing sheep on multi-species swards, red clover silage and James’ dairy calf-to-beef system.
