Grass10 Advisor, Nikki Kennedy, and Grass10 Manager, John Maher, are on this week’s Beef Edge with an update on the current situation around the country and planning for the spring ahead. 

John gives a review of 2025 which was a great year for most farmers in relation to grass.

January was significantly wetter than average, especially in eastern and southern counties, contributing to saturated ground and flooding risk. 

Nikki outlines the importance of walking the farm and picking the right slurry for the right ground and highlights the importance of correcting P and K.

They both outline managing grass and getting started grazing in the first rotation and how to rectify any damage

There are also a number of beef spring grass workshops taking place around the country in the coming weeks focusing on the practical aspect of grazing this spring with live demos focused on fertiliser, slurry and infrastructure.
