Our photographers were busy catching events around the island this week. We have images from International Women's Day event, a rainy tillage event and a few farm visits.
Lighter beef cross calves, those under 50kg, are meeting a challenging marketplace at the moment, as buyer appetite doesn't appear to be there for them.
The calf trade at Carnew was a bit brighter at last week's sale compared with recent weeks, as calmer weather meant exporters got calves moving. This resulted in an improved trade at the Wicklow mart.
Adam Woods takes a look at dealing with the current weather conditions, getting enough colostrum into calves and the lime/fertilser/slurry relationships that farmers have to remember.
The value of good farm infrastructure was on display at the DairyBeef 500 farm walk near Union Hall in west Cork recently. Stock have had almost three weeks at grass in February. Tommy Moyles reports.
Beef calf numbers are increasing, while, after weather upset trade for a few weeks, prices for Friesian bull calves settled as exporters were able to move on calves.
