One of Ireland’s leading calf traders has warned he is “very much afraid” for the calf trade as peak spring calving gets underway.

Seamus Scallan of Wicklow Calf Company spoke to Agriland today (Friday, January 30) about his concerns over the calf trade situation.

In an interview with Agriland Scallan said he believes the biggest problem relates to countries that currently can not take the calves from Ireland.
