About the Holding
Their farm is a 180 acres farm, and their main activity is dairy. They milk over 109 cows, and usually keep the heifer calves and sell the male calves.
Kieran works full-time on the farm and has been for the last 40 years. He milks cows 10 months of the year. Different work has to be done at different stages throughout the year and Kieran is willing to share his learning experiences with social farming participants.
