Neil Quinlan with his calves on the home farm at Ardglare, Mitchelstown, Co Cork. \ Donal O Leary
The farm: “I milk 100 cows, supplying Dairygold, in partnership with my parents, Tony and Marian, in Ardglare, Mitchelstown. After 20 years working on other farms, I came home to farm full-time 18 months ago. We calve down 180 between cows and heifers every year and keep all the heifer calves. Our bull calves are sold at three weeks of age.”
Cow type: “Our ideal cow is a 75% Holstein/25% Friesian cow, with EBI being a big focus for us. The highest EBI of this year’s heifers is €322, which we are delighted to reach. Cows are currently doing 30l at 4.2% fat and 3.6% protein on 4kg of concentrates.”
Costain has appointed a new non-executive director to its board.
Tony Quinlan, a former chief executive of electronics and technology company Laird, has been announced as a replacement for Jane Lodge, who will leave the board after the firm’s annual general meeting on 6 May. She has been on the Costain board for nine years and is currently the chair of the audit committee, a position that Quinlan will take on.
Costain chairman Paul Golby said: “[Quinlan] is an experienced non-executive director and audit chair and also brings experience as a public company chief executive and FTSE-250 finance director. His experience in energy and technology will be an asset to Costain as the group focuses on the decarbonisation and digital delivery of the UK’s critical national infrastructure.”
