Discover the latest updates from the ABP demo farm, with a focus on genetic gains and the performance of the Hereford sires trialled. This session will highlight the critical role of genetics in achieving sustainable, profitable beef production. Stephen Connelly comments: “ABP have a strong relationship with Irish Hereford Prime dating back since the Producer Groups establishment in 1997. We are delighted to support this Irish Hereford Prime event, and we encourage any farmer interested in rearing calves in 2025 to come along and meet the Advantage Beef team on the night and to learn all the key elements of the production system that will ensure a successful and profitable calf to beef enterprise.”
Hear some practical veterinary and health tips that you can implement immediately on your farm. The discussion will also address the upcoming changes to veterinary medicines legislation and explain what they mean for your daily operations and compliance.
Find out if your farm is eligible for the Water Environmental Innovation Partnership (EIP) funding. Learn how these grants can support you in improving sustainability and efficiency on your farm. A working example of what the process entails will be explained with practical applications that are possible on the farm of our guest panellist Dwayne Stanley.
Get an expert analysis on the outlook for the beef market, including future trends and opportunities, to help you make informed decisions and plan ahead with confidence. Joe Burke believes “the market outlook for Irish beef appears positive for the year ahead, on account of robust consumer demand and tighter supplies of prime cattle anticipated in the UK and EU markets.”
