January 19, 2021 7:22 pm It has been a positive day for farmers in the Teagasc Green Acres Calf-to-Beef programme as two participants have claimed top accolades at the ‘Grassland Farmer of the Year 2020’ awards, held on Tuesday (January 19). From a total of 15 finalists, Pat Collins from Castlemartyr in Co. Cork took first placing in the ‘Beef Production (non-suckling)’ category. Pat operates a tillage enterprise in the south of the country, alongside his dairy calf-to-beef enterprise. During 2020, he purchased close to 180 head of calves. These calves were rotated every 24-36 hours during the grazing season on a well laid out paddock system and central roadway. Pat’s whole farm has been reseeded over the past three to four years and during 2020 he grew an impressive 15t DM/ha.
