The farm is located in Golden, ten minutes from Cashel Co. Tipperary Ireland and the M8 motorway.
We run a progressive growing dairy business, currently on majority leased land with our young stock reared on contract. We run a simple grass based, compact, spring calving system focusing on some key KPI’s to deliver positive results for the business.Facilities on the farm are modern and recently constructed to include new large communal calving house and calf house, 30 unit milking parlour with large collecting yard, auto drafter, batch crush, accommodation and feed space for 300 cows and a staff canteen with parking area. We are a forward thinking business and adopt new technologies readily, for example, we have been using LESS slurry management for a long number of years and have also been incorporating clover into the swards in recent years, other technologies include pasture management, protected fertilizer, sexed semen and lean management principals. We are also involved in research trials with Teagasc Moorepark.
Contractors are used extensively on the farm.
