Back In Focus: New accommodation for up to 140 calves in Co. Cork
Next up in the ‘Back In Focus’ series, we take a look at a brand new calf house on the farm of Dick and Eoghan O’Neil from just outside Ballymacoda, in Co. Cork.
The duo, along with Barty O’Sullivan, are in partnership together, which sees them milk 265 Holstein Friesian cows.
Like so many other dairy farmers across the country, the farm has grown in size substantially, albeit over a long period of time.
In order to allow for further expansion on the farm, the decision was taken to convert the old calf shed into a collecting yard and build new calf housing facilities on a new site.
