Performance analysis with accurate livestock identification ensures success
Efficient grassland management coupled with detailed livestock identification have enabled Declan Rafferty to build up a very efficient suckler herd which has expanded from 30 cows to 100 head.

Declan, who farms near Pomeroy in partnership with his brother-in-law, Aidan Quinn, explains: “We are currently growing just short of 11 tonne of grass per hectare.
“We normally aim for 70 percent D-Value and 30 percent dry matter. Membership of GrassCheck and the Suckler Beef Program have encouraged us to utilise grass as much as we can, which has resulted in increased stocking rates along with a tight calving pattern, not to mention a more efficient, successfully run farm longer term.”
