Farming: more than just business?

LIKE all farmers, I employ the services of a veterinary practice.

Mine is probably no different from many such practices, apart from the surgeon being a German, Dirk Huntenburg — a good vet with a passion for history and a love of the Irish farming way of life.

Born in a village outside Hamburg in northern Germany in 1962, and qualified from the University of Hanover, Dirk arrived in Ireland in 1993 on a working holiday.
