We were privileged to visited three dairies producing dairy beef during a visit to Tasmania in November as part of the Growing Beef from Dairy Project we are working on with Meat & Livestock Australia and Dairy Australia.
The project is bringing together a suite of materials to help dairy and beef producers understand how to identify a target market and breed, feed and manage surplus dairy calves to meet market needs.
Each of the producers are part of a dairy beef group coordinated by the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA). The project team extends their thanks to Lesley Irvine from TIA and all of the farmers we visited.
