Michael McGuigan explains that he tries to go into “nice” covers 1400kgs dm/ha and graze down tight. We messed up his rotation, he would have left cows in another 4-5 hours. This gives him his animal performance 1.44 kgs live weight per day on bull calves
Don’t forget to join us today in Longwood Co.Meath - A83wf96 for #futurebeef farmer Michael McGuigans grass walk.
Michael is an excellent grassland manager and believes simplicity and planning are key. His animal performance is the proof.
