In the second of our Spring Livestock Series, we concentrate on dairy calf to beef production.
With more and more beef coming from the dairy herd each year, it’s becoming an increasingly popular topic of conversation and there's a huge debate on whether or not it’s something farmers should be considering.
This evening we will focus on the use of beef genetics on the dairy herd, and there will be discussion on the challenges faced in ensuring a viable dairy beef calf industry in Ireland.
Irish Farmers Journal editor and CEO Justin McCarthy will moderate the discussion tonight and our panel of experts will discuss a number of items listed below in relation to dairy calf to beef production.
