Webinar: Introducing a dairy beef enterprise into an integrated arable and sheep business

Do you want to understand more about integrating livestock in the arable rotation? This webinar will introduce the new venture of creating and managing a dairy beef enterprise and considers how it can be integrated with an existing arable and sheep enterprise. This is done through the use of herbal leys grown within a Countryside Stewardship Mid-Tier Agreement.

In this webinar, AHDB Beef & Lamb Monitor Farmer David Cross, who has recently established a new enterprise alongside Pathway Farming, will talk about the changes being made on his farm. David runs Glovers Farm in Sedgeford, Norfolk which is a family run mixed farm of 360ha, running 900 breeding ewes which David is trying to integrate into his arable rotation along with the introduction of a new dairy beef operation.

Our guest speaker, James Daniel from Precision Grazing Ltd, has been working with David on the project and will join David to present feed and financial budgets for the enterprise. He will present a comparison of gross margins on a £/ha and £/hour basis as well as discussing the potential return on capital.  There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

To find out more about the project and how it may apply to your farm business, sign up to this webinar today funded by your levy. You can still register even if you can't make the date and time, and you will receive a recording after the event.

This webinar will be followed by an event at Glovers Farm on 27 June, to see the new venture in action.
