Extract

As a result of the Agenda 2000 increase in the Special Beef Premium and introduction of a slaughter premium for bulls, there is renewed interest in bull beef production especially from low value Holstein-Friesian calves. To evaluate the economics of such a production system further information is required on responses to supplementary concentrates with silage and duration of the finishing period.
