As a result, of this programme, healthier soil will produce better quality forage for healthier livestock and a healthier environment, whilst helping to improve efficiency, productivity and profitability on-farm.<\/p><p>Key measures in this programme are undertaking <strong>soil analysis<\/strong> to help identify and correct any nutrient deficiencies in the soil; regular <strong>lime application<\/strong> to maximise nutrient use efficiency and nutrient availability; and <strong>grass measuring and recording<\/strong> to track the amount of grass available on the grazing platform

being underweight by their mating start date (MSD). Underweight heifers will struggle to cycle correctly and in turn lead to poor conception rates. If these heifers do go in calf, they will struggle to meet their full mature bodyweight, they will produce less milk in their first and subsequent lactations, and will struggle to go back in calf and reach our target of 5+ lactations.<\/p><p>The Bandon Co-op Heifer Rearing Programme is designed to assist farmers to improve the e\ufb03ciency of heifer rearing on farms by putting a greater focus on genetics and achieving weight targets. The aim of the programme is to ensure heifers calve down at 22-26 months to increase their lifetime profitability. This can be achieved by hitting target weights at key stages throughout the heifer\u2019s life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5188c7 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"b5188c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bandoncoop.ie\/agri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/10\/Heifer-Programme.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">read more<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4adbcab elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"4adbcab\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0351b2f\" data-id=\"0351b2f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51c1a83 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"51c1a83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d61bf10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d61bf10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">get in touch<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d02caaa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d02caaa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you need more information or want to sign up to any of our efficiency programmes, please contact your local sales representative or a member of the agri team<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8f5dd5 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"a8f5dd5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bandoncoop.ie\/agri\/team\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">contact us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dairy efficiency Programmes Background Bandon Co-op launched their Dairy Efficiency Programmes back in 2015.
