Calf exports will only be possible from 2026 on, if a number of criteria are met, according to sheepmeat and livestock sector manager at Bord Bia, Séamus McMenamin.
Calf exports are now on a par to 2023 with over 161,000 head exported live while higher exports of stores and finished cattle are pushing exports over 6,000 head above 2023 levels.
Bord Bia chair Larry Murrin said farmers can postpone an audit if circumstances permit, but declined to say there would be a blanket certification extension.
Listen now to get the latest news on farmers coping with a surge in rainfall, what Fine Gael’s new leader has to say on farming matters and 2024 calf export trends.
Calf numbers appear to be increasing at marts throughout the country at a time when they usually begin to decline. This combined with an increase in calf exports is keeping a solid floor on trade.
