Progressive Farm Program
This series will give an overview of each featured farm, and explain how using the right genetics has, and is, helping them achieve their targets.
The programme will begin with an autumn-calving dairy herd in Co. Meath, before moving to four spring-calving dairy herds in counties Louth, Laois and Kildare, with the final part of the series visiting a suckler and calf buyer in Co. Waterford.
Each farmer will give an overview of their farm system – including herd performance, breeding, dairy-beef, milk recording and the use of technology such as AgriNet HerdApp.
Their breeding advisor will explain how they are helping the farmers to achieve the targets they have set for their herds through genetics.
The first episode in the series will be released this coming Thursday, February 22 – with new episodes released every Thursday for six weeks.
