Trailer Inside Dairy - from grass growth to heat detection

About this episode

The episode discusses grass growth, heat detection during breeding season, and provides a dairy market update.

Grass growth is ramping up on farms, but with conditions varying, we discuss what you should be doing now to stay on track. With breeding season underway, we also cover how to spot the key signs of heat and share practical tips to avoid missing opportunities. We bring you the latest dairy market update, including Global Dairy Trade results and where prices are heading. Plus, we look at sexed semen – is it worth the investment? We’re also joined by CEO of Tirlan Sean Molloy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
