The Beef Edge

Teagasc Researcher, Peter Doyle, and Grass 10 advisor, Nikki Kennedy, join this week’s Beef Edge to discuss the grazing demonstration at BEEF2026which is taking place at Teagasc Grange.
 
Nikki outlines how the demonstration focuses on pre-grazing and post-grazing sward heights. 
 
Many farmers are facing difficult decisions this year due to variable grass growth and Nikki outlines the key indicators that farmers should monitor to maximise cattle performance.
 
The grazing demonstration compares grass-only and grass-clover swards and Peter discusses the performance differences that are being achieved and the potential fertiliser savings from incorporating white how grass-clover swards which also help improve environmental sustainability.
