But there is huge variation depending on the system and the investment in fixed costs on the farm. \n \nThe main focus for the year ahead is to increase output per livestock unit and increase fertiliser and slurry utilisation while increasing daily liveweight gains from grass.  \n \nSome of the farms are using AI and stock bulls and preparation is underway for breeding. \n \nThe Future Beef Webinar series, starts on 18th March at 8pm, runs every Tuesday for 3 weeks. With an exciting line up of speakers, Aisling highlights what can farmers can expect. \nFor more, go to:\nhttps://www.teagasc.ie/animals/beef/demonstration-farms/future-beef-programme/events/\n \nFor more episodes from the Beef Edge podcast, visit the show page at:\nhttps://www.teagasc.ie/thebeefedge\n \nProduced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com  ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/sOijP5GJfyC4Db55cdiuLC4kRsO9WtUllrT_cRU3JSQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEwOTA0LzE1OTAw/NzI0MzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
