Management tips for the coming weeks
Manage episode 417054308 series 2887465
DairyBeef 500 advisor, Tommy Cox, is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast with an update on the programme farms, management tips for the coming weeks and he discusses the weaning process.
It has been a challenging spring and Tommy outlines the targets on the farms up to weaning. He describes the weaning process on the farms and the amount of concentrates fed to calves at grass.
In a lot of cases weanlings were 30-40 kg behind target at housing last autumn and Tommy outlines the management plan for yearlings at grass to achieve compensatory growth.
And in the coming weeks silage will be harvested on the programme farms and surplus heavy covers will be removed to help manage grass for the next rotation.
Calf health is critical too, with coccidiosis and worm burden being an issue in the coming weeks.
