Dairy-to-beef 'Calf Market Hub' launched by Kilkenny agri-tech company 

Farm Fayre’s new Calf Market Hub offers dairy farmers a marketplace to find consistent buyers for their beef-suited calves. 

Farm Fayre chief executive Kevin O'Connor said that the "lack of a stable marketplace has been a significant barrier".

Co Kilkenny agri-tech company Farm Fayre has announced the launch of its dairy-to-beef 'Calf Market Hub'.

Around 1.5m dairy calves are born each year on Irish farms and Farm Fayre's new platform aims to offer a "direct farmer-to-farmer, field-to-field solution", for the sale of dairy-to-beef calves, addressing key issues of sustainability, convenience, and animal welfare in the agricultural sector.
