As we approach the final year of Beef Data Genomics Programme 1 with over 22,500 participants, Martina Harrington, Teagasc Beef Specialist, joins Catherine Egan to discuss the key dates farmers need to be aware of this year.

 

On the 31st of October 2020 you must have 50% of the reference number of animals genotyped 4 or 5 star on the Replacement Index. They must be at least 16 months of age, so born before the 30th June 2019 and born after 1st January 2013. 

 

If you do not meet these criteria you face a 140% penalty.
