Teagasc will be commencing a new advanced dairy calf to beef course for new and existing dairy calf to beef farmers who wish to upskill and learn what it takes to run an economically and environmentally sustainable dairy calf to beef system.
This course is designed to help you plan and implement a dairy calf to beef system on their farm to allow them to maximise your resources while at the same time hitting the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that need to be met to ensure that your farm is operating at a high level of profitability.
Shane Cranny, dairy calf to beef farmer and DairyBeef500 programme participant explains that by working with Advisors changes have been implemented on the farm around calf rearing, grassland management and finishing. These changes has helped increase the net profit margin on the farm from €423 per hectare to €1,342 per hectare.
