On the outskirts of Headford, Tom Curran is a full-time farmer operating a store-to-beef system in Mausrevagh, Co. Galway, buying and finishing continental bullocks.
Tom buys in approximately 100 store bullocks annually, finishing continental bullocks both at grass during the summer, and houses the remaining steers for finishing over the winter period.
