There are a number of threats facing small to medium sized beef farmers. Beef and sheep meat are especially vulnerable to cost-benefit analysis involving the EU.
Professor Alan Matthews made a very strong case for a change in land use from livestock to forestry, based on Ireland's EU climate change commitments.
