Grain treatment improves homegrown cereals
Cattle farmers are seeing the benefit of using a grain treatment as they feed more homegrown cereals and therefore improve performance and feed efficiency. Mixed farmer Matthew Jordon from Morpeth has used Maxammon for five years in his suckler herd of 90 pedigree Limousins. The farm feeds as much homegrown cereals and silage as possible, which has cut their bought-in protein by as much as 87%. He said the health…

He said to date 997,516 cattle have been processed during 2022, an increase of 89,716 head or…

Tight supplies, UK beef prices support trade
IFA Livestock chairman Brendan Golden said tight supplies of suitable cattle and strengthening UK beef prices are underpinning the trade.
