SHARING OPTIONS: The most recent challenges have arisen in the sourcing and availability of raw materials and coping with the rising cost of inputs.

A sheep, calf and finishing unit all under one roof in Tipperary

A stone’s throw away from Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, is beef and sheep farmer, Paul Conway. The Tipperary native, who works full-time off-farm, runs three different systems on his 70ac farm – 50ac which are owned and 20ac which are rented. Paul keeps a flock of 70 Belclare-cross ewes, alongside buying-in continental heifer weanlings with the purpose of finishing them at 24-26 months-of-age. On top of that, he buys in 80 calves, which consist mainly of Belgian Blues and whiteheads during the springtime and then sells them on in the back end of the year as weanlings. Paul took over the running of the farm from his father, Tom, in recent years when he retired and up until this winter, the main housing accommodation on the farm consisted of a three-bay double-sided slatted unit and an old dry shed, that has since been demolished to accommodate the new housing unit on the farm.
