DairyBeef 500 manager, Alan Dillon, joins Catherine Egan on this week’s Beef Edge podcast with an update from the programme and key management tips for the weeks ahead. Firstly, Alan reviews the profit monitors from last year and explains what the margins were for farmers in the programme. With all the recent rainfall, grazing conditions have been difficult and Alan discusses how farmers are coping and planning for the weeks ahead. Most farmers have had to rehouse stock and hence have very little grazed and Alan highlights the different options. Due to the delayed turnout, some cattle will be drafted now, remaining housed and be finished from the shed and Alan goes through the various tips and advises farmers to discuss the options with their advisor. For more episodes from the Beef Edge podcast, visit the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/thebeefedge                     Produced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com
