Animal breeding & genetics
Objective
I’m interested in forming a group looking at calf rearing and wonder whether this would fit with an RMPP action group or if you knew of a group doing this.
We have good relationships with dairy farms and source quality calves to rear. It would be really great to see this model replicated and enlarged around the country as it has many benefits to all parties, the dairy farmer, sheep and beef farmer rearing and the calves themselves. And reduces risk of disease spread like M Bovis.
A group of like minded farmers may be able to fine tune the system and then look at making these important contacts between dairy and sheep and beef farmers around the country. Surely in this digital age it wouldn’t be too hard!
