DairyBeef 500 update and winter management on your farm

Alan Dillon, DairyBeef 500 Manager, and Fergal Maguire, DairyBeef 500 Advisor, are on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to give an update on the campaign. They also discuss winter management on farms.

Alan describes how the difficult weather conditions have decreased performance this year and it is important to get silage quality tested and balance rations accordingly.

Fergal highlights that due to early housing this autumn, heavy covers will need to be grazed in early spring. Alan then outlines animal health treatments on farms this winter, while Fergal describes the dairy calf to beef courses starting again in December.
