Anthony McCormack

Anthony McCormack is milking 110 cows in Mooghaun, Newmarket on Fergus, Co. Clare. Their cow type is a Holstein Friesian delivering 510 kg milk solids per cow with an average herd EBI of 151 Euro. His grazing season length extends fron the middle of February to early November. His farm soil type is a well drained brown earth. Anthony plans to maintain current herd size but improve farm sustainability by concentrating on improving herd EBI, reseeding 10 % of the farm annually and reducing chemical fertiliser use by correcting soil fertility and realising the fully value of his available slurry through better management and use of dribble bar technology
