With the busy calving season on dairy farms winding down, AgriLand got the chance to check out a brand new calf housing facility on a 180-cow farm in Co. Limerick during the week. The new calf house – which can house up to 150 calves (30 in each pen) currently but could hold up to 300 when all pens are set up – is on the farm of Pierce Breen from Oola who farms alongside his father Liam and mother Carmel. The Limerick-native, like many other dairy farmers across the country, decided it was time to upgrade on the current calf housing facilities that were already on the farm.
