In this video Alan Dillon, DairyBeef 500 campaign manager, talks us through the Commercial Beef Value (CBV) tool.

A new tool to assist farmers in selecting animals for beef production is the Commercial Beef Value (CBV), which was launched by the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation (ICBF) in late-2021.

The CBV is a tool for non-breeding beef farmers, which gives an insight into an animal’s genetic merit for beef production based on its parentage.
