Kilkenny farmer Liam Cassin is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to discuss his contract heifer rearing system.

Liam moved from sheep to suckler cows and started contract heifer rearing 14 years ago. The steady monthly cashflow alongside the reduced financial input of purchasing stock are key benefits for Liam.

Grassland management and a good paddock system are very important to make the system viable in order to reach the target weights, according to Liam.

Initially starting with one dairy farmer, Liam has increased the system to now working with four farmers contract rearing heifers.

The dairy farmer visited Liam’s farm and viewed the farm and Liam visited their farm initially. From there the business has thrived and each contract is different as Liam describes.
