The number of recorded calf births in suckler herds from 1 June 2015 to 31 May 2018 is set down on a calendar year basis in the following table.

The number of births registered in 2018 is not a true representation of calf births in May 2018 as a calf may be registered up to 27 days after birth and accordingly a number of births in May 2018 will be registered in June 2018.
