Great news.
This is actually very troubling and many will see this as reason for celebration, however the national herd badly needs to be cut if we’re ever going to meet our climate targets.
I just get the sense recently that people have stopped caring
You want beef?
We’re really mooooving ahead in the beef sector
We’ve got a really big steak in the industry
Wonder what the stats looks like when dairy cattle are added into the mix too
Since our beef is grass fed for the most part it is a premium product that is produced far more sustainably than in other places. Ireland is a good place to raise cattle.
If we cut beef production it will just be produced elsewhere to meet demand except it will be far lower quality and more environmentally damaging.
It’s something we do well here and it’s only when you go elsewhere you realise how good our beef and dairy is.
Considering the awful treatment of livestock in many countries, it’s fantastic that cheap, quality, ethically raised livestock is an option not just for Ireland, but Europe too.
€28Bn in fines lads. Unless we get our shit together
In your face Denmark 🇩🇰
The cows, a great bunch of lads.
And the best. Obviously I’m biased but even British beef quality taste different to me. That said, when I was in Paris, the local beef was far far cheaper than Irish. Felt like we were a halfway house to Kobe.
My takeaway from this is that the Netherlands beef production is fairly incredible given that it’s the size of Munster with a population of 18 million and one of the most densely populated countries in the world. Must be very intensive farming compared to Ireland.
One of the best countries in the world to raise beef and livestock in general as our climate is geared to it.
Grass growth is optimal and we don’t need to irrigate or chop rainforests for land.
You can try to force feed us that animals here are not ethically raised with the rte tv show that showed a minority of calves that were treated unfairly but in reality this country has one of the best standards for beef production and animal welfare in the world. Irish beef has no hormones pumped in or gmo’s etc while also maintaining competitive in the world market.
Cattle have a minor influence to emissions, if ireland was bulldozed into the sea and didn’t exist it would have zero effect on global warming changes, thats the reality. Support our farmers, you’re trying to push an agenda that has been debunked countless times.
Unless Kendrick is on a European tour… then we’re fifth…
Its a dying industry in this country it feels. There’s little to no money in it for the actual farmers, most of them do it not as their main living, but to make use of the land. The only form of farming that currently actually viable is dairy, its just hard to tell the lads at beef to give it up as its a generational thing and many don’t know any other way or want to see their land go idle.
Moving these farms to Dairy would probably make the climate situation worse. If it was even viable for them to do so.
