Feedcast Special - Beef Finishing

This Feedcast special is focusing on the beef finishing markets. Today, Tom Spears, our resident  sales specialist and Anna Sutcliffe, one of KW’s ruminant technical managers, discuss what has happened to the beef industry over the last 12 months and how important the right feeding regime is for your cattle.

Since June 2021 we have seen a rapid increase in the deadweight price but on the flip side this has not risen as quickly as the input costs, including feed. Anna and Tom discuss the cost of a basic barley ration and the change they have seen in these systems over the last year, including the movement to a lower starch diet through the utilisation of co-products. They advise that improving your cattle rumen health and keeping your herd happy and healthy is the best way to increase your overall profitability.

Challenge the team to help you improve your business at Beef Expo this Saturday (May, 28th) or contact the team in the office today.
