Thrive open day - Watch: finishing cattle and carcase quality
In part five of the Thrive dairy calf-to-beef open day, we take a look at finishing strategies for dairy beef cattle and challenges faced in terms of carcase weight and conformation.
Beef editor Adam Woods and Thrive programme manager Declan Marren discuss the finishing operation of the Thrive demonstration farm, as well as liveweight performance at grass of this year’s finishing stock.
They are then joined for a panel discussion with Joe Burke of Bord Bia and Andrew Cromie of the ICBF to look at the issues around carcase quality, weight and conformation of dairy beef animals, as well as some of the challenges and opportunities facing the industry in the coming years.
