Bob Thomson, a New Zealand Farm Consultant specialising in sheep and beef, is on this week’s Beef Edge to discuss some of his insights into dairy beef in Ireland compared to New Zealand.

Bob has a wealth of experience working in extension, consultancy and project management for the past 50 years. 

He explains what he learned from the DairyBeef 500 farms he visited this week around the country and he describes the dairy beef industry in New Zealand, as well as the opportunities that he thinks could be implemented on Irish beef  farms. 

Bob is also involved in a highly successful monitor farm programme in New Zealand and he highlights the impact it has had.
