Feed accounts for over 75% of variable costs on most beef farms. Having optimal diets that can meet targets at an efficient cost are important components of overall farm profitability. This section allows beef farmers to formulate balanced diets with our online Teagasc Ration Reckner and to compare the value of different ingredients with our online Relative Values of Feedstuffs calculators. Sections on feeding the suckler cow, the calf and finishing cattle provide advice on targets and diets.
