Nothing borderline about their milk quality

MORE than three million babies around the world enjoy the high quality of milk from herds in Cavan and Monaghan.

Farmers in the border counties were the first in Ireland to be subjected to demanding standards of low cell counts and freedom from antibiotics, and they have not failed to deliver in more than 30 years.

They send 500,000 litres of skim milk from 20,000 cows on 400 farms every day to the Abbott manufacturing plant in Cootehill, Co Cavan.
