Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Development of Sheep Sector: Discussion
Mr. Michael Crosse:
They are all there but the reality is that natural is best. We are building a new industry and we have the opportunity to look at where the weaknesses are in other industries. Not only is it future-proofed, but it is the best system to let the ewe rear the lamb. It gives the lamb the best start and is the most labour efficient model. The lamb is then put on the market and the ewe is milked.
