Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Beef and Livestock Sector: Discussion
4:35 pm
Mr. Joe Burke:
I think Professor Boyle mentioned this in his paper that according to the EU definition, a young bull is a young bull aged under 24 months. That might be part of the background. They are considered prime beef or a prime animal up to that age, and over that they are considered a mature animal.
