Thrive weekly roundup: final phase for 24-month system and top dairy-beef news
This week's dairy-beef update looks at the final few feeding weeks for stock coming ready for slaughter and has a roundup of this week's main dairy-beef news stories from feed prices to calf exports.
Many dairy-beef farmers operating a 24-month system will be sending cattle to the factory in the coming weeks after one final push for performance in the finishing shed.
A lot of dairy farmers are using very poor-quality Hereford and Angus sires according to Alan Dillon, co-ordinator of Teagasc's DairyBeef 500 programme.
Despite calf exports to the continent being put on hold, the trade for calves, particularly those over 55kg, was very solid in Bandon Mart this week, as traditional beef breeds topped the sale.
In the final part of the calf rearing series, Declan Marren looks at the importance of hitting growth targets at every stage throughout the system.
