Dairymen urged to exploit beef crossbreeds
Demand for Angus and Hereford crossbred calves from the dairy herd far exceeds supply and the gap in the market should be exploited by farmers to produce high-value beef for niche markets, a Bord Bia market analyst has claimed.
Joe Burke, livestock manager with Bord Bia, said there was massive potential for early maturing beef breeds such as Angus and Hereford to be used on the expanding dairy herd.
