A review of the year from Newford Farm

Michael Fagan, technician on the Newford demonstration farm in Co. Roscommon, is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast with an update on the farm and a review of the year since moving from Athenry, Co. Galway.

Michael outlines the key activities since the move, including the repurposing of sheds, reseeding, installing paddocks and water systems, all occurring while getting used to the overall change in location and soil type of the farm.

Due to weather conditions, weanling and finishing performance is back and Michael discusses finishing cattle performance and management of the cows prior to calving.
