@1noeloconnor The Life of A Cattle Dealer by Sonny Enright, Milestones And Memories The Life and Times of Joseph Bruton are also well worth a read. Can be got from your local library.

@dairy_meat @brianrushe81 Thus in relative terms for Ireland ag emissions look like a problem. Essentially because we don't produce anything else unlike industrialised countries of which most of our European neighbours are.

@dairy_meat @brianrushe81 Producers. We are a pastoral country. Makes sense that we focus on this produce and trade with the Germans for their cars and equipment they are industrial production specialists and are unable to produce dairy and beef in the grass based outdoor manner that we can..

@brianrushe81 To me it seems Irish Ag is being scapegoated and targeted as the easy way to achieve overall reduction targets. I don't see the French or Germans committing to reduce car production. Which is their traditional native industry, Ireland's being agriculture.

@brianrushe81 Some of the points discussed are in this article: m.independent.ie/business/farmi… Irish Agriculture is a large relative emitter as we have no industrial manufacturing or raw resource extraction like other European countries which make up a larger share of their emiss relative to ag.

@CiaranLen @TaeSavesLives @nookost Very little to date. And agree with you no incentive to produce to it. Is this not what we are trying to achieve though for a proportion of Irish Beef with the recent PGI application? Hats off to Rian's system, it is a super one. Looks to be the most profitable route for his farm

@Mart_C90 @TaeSavesLives @nookost What % of Irish beef is being sold on that USP? Most of a carcase is manufacturing beef. We breed super animals here, capable of being finished early, but then feed them below their growth potential. Where is the incentive for me to keep cattle for 2/3 grazing seasons? Versus 1

@TaeSavesLives @CiaranLen @nookost the system. It has a place and is very well done as his cattle are ready for the lull period before grass cattle start coming fit . Just it does not entirely line up with Irish Beef production's USP. That being grass fed forage source for 90% of the animals lifetime feed intake.

@TaeSavesLives @CiaranLen @nookost They were killed start of July. So avg birth date is mid May. If housed start November that's 8 months continuously inside. 3 month diet of ad lib concentrate to finish. Much more intensive than grass based. Cattle pushed to gain before reaching natural maturity. Not knocking...

@TaeSavesLives @CiaranLen @nookost I am assuming these bulls would have been housed for all of their second spring/summer prior to their July slaughter so no difference in housing periods overall between them and dairy cross? So the bulls above only spend one summer out on grass, well on both grass and milk.

@Mart_C90 @CiaranLen @nookost So if you’re going 26m that’s two housing periods, or at least it would be up my way, or 6-8 months housed for the life of the animal vs 4 months in this system. Both based on grass but one utilising the bull’s natural advantage

@CiaranLen @nookost @TaeSavesLives drops. Farmers increase production to try to maintain the same standard of living in a reducing margin scenario. Back to the above, any account of the 6 months methane emissions from the bulls mothers pre weaning? The dairy Cross animal's mother be producing liq or manf milk.

@CiaranLen @nookost @TaeSavesLives And I agree with you on this Ciaran. The reality is that this is the road all sectors of farming are being forced to go down to stay afloat. Intensify, get the maximum output per hectare or kg of feed that is physically possible. The Saudis cut oil production when the price...

@CiaranLen @nookost @TaeSavesLives Superb performance. Top genetics, stockmanship and management evident. But in my opinion the exact opposite of the beef system we should be advocating for our temperate grass friendly climate. This system mirrors the intensive indoor based systems seen in poltury and pigs.
