Listen to the last episode:
With the current extended rainfall, on this week’s Beef Edge podcast, Future Beef advisor Gabriel Trayers and Alan Dillion DairyBeef 500 manager give an update from around the country along with tips and advice to implement on farms for the coming weeks.
Alan also discusses health issues while Gabriel outlines issues in relation to the breeding season and cow nutrition options.
With grazing rotations delayed, Alan discusses the first steps in the plan and getting silage ground on track; plus he describes some of the finishing options now that stock may not have got to grass.
Weather is improving so there is light at end of the tunnel but it is an extremely stressful time and there’s also huge financial pressure on farmers.
Talk to neighbours and your local Teagasc advisor. There is an extensive network of people to help, including the Teagasc National Grassland Helpline on 059 918 3155.
The helplines are open to all farmers seeking advice in coping with the ongoing wet weather and challenging soil conditions and are open from 9am–9pm Monday to Saturday.
