Dairy-beef heifer systems at Johnstown Castle

This week’s Beef Edge podcast features Ellen Fitzpatrick from Teagasc Johnstown Castle, who gave an interesting presentation at the Teagasc National Beef Conference.

Describing how to make the most of low input, high output dairy beef heifer systems, Ellen discussed the trials ongoing and the performance being achieved from perennial ryegrass only, perennial ryegrass and clover, and multispecies swards and how these swards are impacting on animal performance - both in terms of carcass weight and age at slaughter - and pasture performance.
