Let’s Talk Dairy: Spring grazing at Johnstown Castle

For this week’s podcast version of the Let’s Talk Dairy webinar series, George Ramsbottom was joined by Aidan Lawless, Dairy Unit Manager, Teagasc Johnstown Castle to discuss spring grazing at Johnstown Castle. Johnstown Castle has a herd of 140 cows of whom 90 are winter calving cows. While calving is well on the way in the spring cohort of the cows, Aidan focuses on the 90 strong autumn calving unit because this unit is well in milk production and is managed as a separate unit at Johnstown Castle. To register for future Let’s Talk Dairy webinars go to:https://www.teagasc.ie/corporate-events/lets-talk-dairy/ For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/
