Finishing cattle at grass in August last year. These heifers were receiving 3kg/d concentrates. It is often said that there is as much variation within a breed as there is across breeds, and looking at the production data from the Thrive demonstration farm for the 2019-born stock this certainly holds true. With all the 2019-born animals now slaughtered, we are able to look at some of the facts and figures from the group. We must remember that this is a relatively small sample size and therefore we must be careful with any extrapolation of the data to a national scale.
