Most of the farm had been long-term leased out for over 30 years up until 2016. In recent years, we decided to take back all the land to farm in our own right. For a short time, we also contract-reared dairy heifers for a local dairy farmer, which allowed the opportunity to invest in our own stock. Yearling cattle were turned out to grass very early last spring on my farm here in Templenaccarriga. Current activitiesWe currently have 93 yearling animals on the farm (48 steers and 45 heifers).
