A practical, practitioner-focused show for Irish beef farmers and agribusiness professionals. Episodes center on grass-based finishing systems, contract rearing, CBV/genetics, soil fertility, silage quality, and farm economics, with real-world case studies from farmers and Teagasc researchers. The host emphasizes actionable guidance, open days and on-farm demonstrations, and translating research into on-farm results. Notable strengths include data-driven discussions (CBV, budgets, soil management) and a clear commitment to accessible, hands-on advice for improving profitability, sustainability, and labour efficiency on beef farms.
