Future Beef programme participant Aonghusa Fahy from Co. Galway joins Catherine Egan on this week’s episode of the Beef Edge podcast with an insight into his plan for the breeding season ahead.
Aonghusa describes the sires he selected for using on heifers and cows. He plans to synchronise the heifers and goes through the protocol. Aonghusa calves his heifers at 24 months and describes how he achieves this.
When working off farm, Aonghusa highlights the benefits of a compact calving pattern and using AI. For heat detection he uses tail paint, Heat Sensor and a vasectomised bull.
