E10,000 bonus for higher EBIs
The EBI 100 competition should be attractive to everyone who is serious about improving their dairy herds, says Matt Ryan, Teagasc Dairy Programme Manager.
Raising the EBI of the dairy cows, replacement heifers and weanlings will be an important target for farmers hoping to do well in the competition. Financial and environmental issues will also be evaluated, in the search for seven regional finalists three from Munster, two from Leinster and two from Connacht-Ulster.
