Sheep
Sheep farmers have been encouraged to "box clever" when it comes to getting the balance right with lamb weights in factories by Sean Dennehy.
Beef
The deadline for submitting calf weights under the BEEP scheme is closing in on farmers who have yet to input figures.
Cuts of 40-50c are being imposed on the base price of overweight lambs, according to the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers' Association (ICSA).
Dairy
The nights are getting slightly longer as we have passed summer's peak. However, grass growth rates are excellent on most farms due to the recent rain or steady, mild weather.
