Beef Data and Genomics Programme: Discussion with Irish Cattle Breeding Federation

11:30 am

Mr. Sean Coughlan:

The reality about the suckler cow scheme, the genomics scheme and the data scheme is that farmers continue to record the details. Therefore, many of the data are recorded already. All calves are registered, as are many sires. There will be a catch-up.
