Irish grain most versatile feed to grow or buy

With high prices still being paid by farmers for weanlings and store cattle, costs need to be closely monitored this winter if profits are to be realised.

Silage quality is going to be very poor on most farms, so higher levels of concentrates will be required to achieve required performance targets.

Native Irish grain is the most versatile high energy feed that farmers can grow or buy. Traditionally, grain was dried or stored on air at moistures of 18% or lower.
