Let's Talk Dairy - Spring grazing at Johnstown Castle

On this episode of Let's Talk Dairy which took place on Thursday, 23 February, George Ramsbottom, Teagasc Dairy Specialist was joined by Aidan Lawless, Dairy Unit Manager, Teagasc Johnstown Castle to discuss spring grazing at Johnstown Castle.

Johnstown Castle has a herd of 140 cows of whom 90 are winter calving cows. While calving is well on the way in the spring cohort of the cows, Aidan focuses on the 90 strong autumn calving unit because this unit is well in milk production and is managed as a separate unit at Johnstown Castle.

Elsewhere in the webinar, John Maher, Teagasc Grass10 Campaign Manager gives an update on the grass situation for the week.
