Agri events this week.

Best practice in rearing calves will be the topic of ten advice events this month, organised by Teagasc and Animal Health Ireland, in conjunction with the Aurivo, Dairygold, Glanbia and Lakeland Dairies co-ops, and supported by Volac.

More than one million calves will be born on Irish dairy farms before the end of April, with resulting challenges for farmers to ensure that the animals thrive.
