Reviewing the 2024 profitability of the Future Beef Programme
Teagasc Future Beef Programme Advisor, Aisling Molloy is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to give an update on the Future Beef Programme and to review profitability for 2024.
Aisling first discusses the plan at the moment to get cattle to grass across the country.
On review of the Teagasc Profit Monitor, the profitability for farmers in the programme has increased in 2024. However, there is huge variation depending on the system and the investment in fixed costs on the farm.
The main focus for the year ahead is to increase output per livestock unit and increase fertiliser and slurry utilisation while increasing daily liveweight gains from grass.
