Beef and Sheep Farmer magazine – ORDER IT ONLINE HERE for €4.99 incl. P&P.

Compiled by the Irish Farmers Journal livestock team, the focus of the magazine will be centred on one common theme; the route to market for Irish livestock farmers. It will be the first time such a publication will be on sale in Ireland. Features will include:

  • Selling cattle through the live market.
  • Selling cattle through the finished market.
  • What do the markets want?
  • Where are the markets for Irish beef and lamb?
  • How big these markets are and what are the key specifications they require?
  • Sheep production.
  • Here’s a preview of what’s inside the Irish Beef and Sheep Farmer magazine:

    THE SUCKLER SWITCH: Sligo farmer Mark Cox made the move from dairy to beef.

    WESTERN FORCE: Richard Jennings, who farms near Claremorris, Co Mayo, has scaled back on cow numbers, increased ewe numbers and made changes to suit grazing conditions in the area.

    MAGIC MIKE: With a turnaround from a €6,000 loss to a gross profit of over €109,000 in four years, Mike Dillane was the undoubted star of the second phase of the Better farm beef programme.

    SEARCHING FOR THE INVISIBLE COW: Having seen beef cows all over the world on his Nuffield travels, Tommy Moyles has a very definite idea of what he wants his own cows to do.

    NORTHERN EXPOSURE: Just outside Malin Head, Tommy Mullins runs a large-scale sheep enterprise that uses lowland breeding on a grass-based finishing system. It is an impressive operation, with performance figures that most farmers would be envious of.

    ROCK SOLID SYSTEM: High-input, high-output system working wonders in Galway.
