Grass
The story of the year for grass growth has been a country split in two, and this trend continues into the back-end.
Drought
With a hard drought still hitting the southeast, farmers must prepare for the inevitable fodder crisis facing us this winter.
Dairy
The effects of the drought continue to sting, as milk production has now fallen by €510/week for the average 100-cow herd.
The average farm needs to be feeding three to three and a half bales in the current conditions, according to Tirlán nutritionist Brian Harte.
Breeding
It is easy to get so caught up in the statistics of breeding during the season, so much so that we forget about embryo survival.
With growth rates taking off and cows thriving, it may be time to consider reducing the amount of concentrates fed in the diet.
