Teagasc Dairy specialist Patrick Gowing joins Catherine Egan on this week’s episode of the Beef Edge podcast to discuss the Teagasc Dairy Start-Up course.  

Patrick highlighted the fact that converting to dairy involves a major commitment and sizeable capital outlay, therefore you need to be sure you are making the right decision.

Patrick discussed the importance of selecting the right cow type, parlour, infrastructure and capital budget. 

The six day course starts this autumn and the locations of the course depend on demand. You can register interest online and for further details click here
