Dairy farm sale of 76 acres, quota

A PLUM piece of property at Newcestown in west Cork had come on the market with Paddy Murray of ERA Paddy Murray, offering an expansion opportunity for dairy farmers.

The farm is the property of Sean and Carmel O’Shea, who are retiring and putting their 76 acre holding, with its 43,194 gallon milk quota on the market, for offers in the region of €1.25 million.

It’s an exceptional sale, says Paddy Murray, and as it’s not in the disadvantaged area it will appeal to a broad range of farmers looking to pick up quota, as well as land.
