Producing quality cattle is the drive for success on the farm of Owen O’Neill, which is located in Bagnelstown, Co. Carlow.
The farm is operating both commercial suckler-to-beef and suckler-weanling enterprises – with a strong herd of 70 early-spring calving suckler cows consisting of Limousin, Charolais, Belgian Blue and Simmental crosses to boast.
AgriLand spoke with Owen recently to get an insight into how his vision of breeding the right type of beef animal is on the list of priorities.
