This booklet was made available to farmers attending a series of open days on farms across N. Ireland in autumn 2008. Farmers who participated in the heifer rearing survey were also sent a complimentary copy of the booklet.
The results of the AFBI-CAFRE Heifer Rearing Survey and replacement heifer rearing management guidelines based on research findings at AFBI and other research centres have been compiled into a summary booklet entitled Rearing your 2010 herd”.
