The Beef Edge

How my farm grows more grass?


Listen Later

Sean Roddy, suckler farm manager of the Lyons Demesne farm Co. Kildare, joins Catherine Egan on this week’s Beef Edge to discuss grassland management on his farm.
 
Last Spring, Sean calved 90 stabiliser breed cows with all stock brought to finish at 18-20 months. By measuring grass on a weekly basis it allows him to utilise grass better. His main aim is to finish all progeny off grass with little or no concentrates.
Sean’s excellent grazing management on the farm is evident in the high animal weight gain he can achieve from grass.
Sean will be featuring as part of the Teagasc Virtual Beef Week on Thursday 9th July at 7pm where he will also be joined on the panel by his Teagasc advisor Christy Watson and Edward O’Riordan, Teagasc Grange, and will be available for you to ask him questions facilitated by Beef Specialist Aidan Murray.
