With the Teagasc National Beef Conference taking place on Tuesday, the 18th of November at the Raheen Woods Hotel in Athenry, County Galway, Future Beef farmer, John Barry from Nenagh, County Tipperary, is on this week's Beef edge podcast to explain his suckling-to-weanling system and how he balances shape and quality to meet both home and export market demands. John Barry runs a 90-cow suckler herd full-time and since taking over the farm in his own name a decade ago, John has steadily developed the enterprise with significant investments, including new sheds, upgraded laneways and fencing, and the installation of a new cattle crush to make vaccinating and dosing more efficient. The herd is split between spring and autumn calving, with around 60 cows calving from February to April and the remainder from August to October. The preferred cow type on the farm is a Limousin–Simmental cross, although Charolais and Belgian Blue crosses also feature in the herd. Most cows are R+ to U– grade animals with good milk. Artificial insemination (AI) is used on more than 75% of the herd. John selects sires from Belgian Blue, Charolais, and Limousin breeds, while a Limousin stock bull is used for mop-up. Red Angus sires are also used on Belgian Blue-type heifers. John produces top-quality U and E grade weanlings for both the local and export markets. In recent years, John has placed a strong emphasis on grassland management, focusing on growing and utilising grass more efficiently to reduce costs. He has also incorporated red clover and undertaken arable reseeding to improve farm sustainability and productivity. John is speaking at this year's National Beef Conference discussing his role in meeting future market demands. Whether you're looking to improve your breeding, plan ahead for tax, or start the conversation about passing on the farm – this event will have something for you. It is a free event and all are welcome.  Further details available at:https://teagasc.ie/event/national-beef-conference/ For more episodes from the Beef Edge podcast, visit the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/thebeefedge Produced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com

Éire Óg's Shane O'Donnell claims the structure of the Munster Club Hurling Championship has resulted in a less than ideal preparation for their semi final tie. The Townies will face Loughmore-Castleiney in the last four after the Tipperary outfit claimed back to back titles with victory over Nenagh Éire Óg, with that game set for November 16th in Zimmer Biomet Páirc Chiosóg. The Clare champions are having to contend with a six week layoff since their county final success, while Loughmore have a fortnights turnaround to the game. Reigning hurler of the year, O'Donnell, says neither sides' build up for the game is optimal.

REACH is set to become a key driver of business growth in Roscrea, offering entrepreneurs, SMEs, and remote workers the space and connectivity they need to thrive. Its strategic location, combined with SIRO's full-fibre broadband, ensures that businesses can operate with the same level of digital infrastructure as those in any major urban centre.

This outstanding facility has received over €2.3 million under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, which is administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht. Tipperary County Council has provided an additional €774,000 in funding." John Keaney, SIRO Chief Executive Officer, commented: "REACH is a fantastic addition to Roscrea, providing businesses with a state-of-the-art space to work, collaborate, and grow. Powered by SIRO's full-fibre broadband, this hub will help businesses and entrepreneurs compete on both a national and international scale. We are delighted to partner with Vodafone to deliver world-class connectivity to this hub and support Roscrea's economic regeneration."

At Vodafone, we're committed to ensuring that every customer, whether in a city or a town like Roscrea, has access to the same high-quality digital experience.

Fralws, Burkey and Moss are back after a 2 week break to discuss a mental Round 15 of the Energia AIL. They also preview a critical Round 16 upcoming at the end of the month. Ace of Club results are poor once again from the hosts and the picks get sidetracked by a story on a failed plumbing mission from Moss, sponsored by Cahill Apparel. Quenton O'Neale, Calum Dowling, and Adam Howard from Old Belvedere RFC join the lads to discuss their win over Nenagh which has confirmed them as Champions of 1B, with 3 games to spare. They will be back in 1A for the first time since 2017!  Powered by Energia #ThinkOfThePossibilities Read More
