How many suckler guys/gals on here going to join up to this?

From a practical point of view im finding it hard to see how it will get big numbers of farmer participation. Won't it mean the use of AI or the purchase of a 5 star bull?

If the majority of the national suckler herd is made up 10cow herds, and these farmers working part time, hard to see how it will be a runner.

Am l being overly pessimistic?

Don't get me wrong, l think the promotion of better breeding can only be a good thing!! :-)
