In this week’s Dairy Focus,
Agriland made the trip to the ‘wee’ county to meet Niall Matthews, chair of Lakeland Dairies, on his dairy farm in the townland of Tully.
The Co. Louth man was recently appointed chair of Lakeland Dairies Co-operative Society Ltd, having been a board member since 2017.
He is currently milking 220 mainly Holstein Friesian-type cows in partnership with his wife Juana and one full-time staff member.
Páidi Deery started on the farm just a few weeks ago and before that Conor Russell had been working on the farm for several years.
