Dermot O’Dowd is one of a growing number of calf-to-beef producers who have installed computerised calf feeders in recent years.
He installed the Volac Urban Alma Pro feeder last spring and is delighted with his decision.
“It is a great labour-saving tool. Calves were healthier, more content and overall performance was excellent,” said Dermot.
Dermot manages the beef and sheep enterprises on Broadleas Farm at Stamullen, Co. Meath. Run by Ivan and Frances Curran, the large-scale Broadleas operation consists of some 500ha of cereals, 260ha of potatoes and 44ha of grassland, devoted to a calf-to-beef enterprise and a ewe flock.
