Teagasc Open Day: Beef 2018

The theme of this event hosted by Teagasc Grange is ‘€nhancing Knowledge’. The short term outlook for beef prices in 2018 is good; however in the medium term there will be significant challenges around Brexit, reform of the Common Agricultural Policy and climate change. The emphasis in BEEF2018 is on highlighting those technologies that will help underpin the future profitability of the beef sector. Technologies related to grassland management, animal nutrition, beef genetics, reproductive management and animal health, including farm planning and implementation that will be essential in increasing the competitiveness of the beef sector will be on display.

The focus of BEEF2018 will be on the application of technologies that will help beef farmers increase the profitability and sustainability of their farming family business. BEEF2018 is an opportunity to see first-hand theresults of the comprehensive research and innovation programme at Teagasc and to meet research, advisory and education staff.
