Just looking through the Irish press to see how the referendum campaign is going over there and I came across this.

If any of you can explain it to me I would really appreciate it.

Changing cattle for cows a 'no brainer'

Dairy farmers were advised to swap all their cattle for cows to make life easier and to make more profit.
This was the opinion of Teagasc advisor, John McNamara, who said that changing cattle for cows was a "no brainer".
Mr McNamara was speaking at the Irish Grassland Association's conference on dairy farming, in Cork, on Wednesday.

My guess is this is in someway about subsidy farming, but really I haven't a clue.
