Dairy Sector and Annual Report 2013: Teagasc

Professor Gerry Boyle:

The difficulty is that we can only impute the family labour cost. That is a variable feast.

With regard to heifer rearing, we have the heifer enterprise recorded separately. I gave the Deputy the estimates. One could certainly add another 10 cent to the cost, on average, for heifer rearing and family labour. It is a ballpark estimate.
