Ireland’s only buffalo milk producing farm is an animal of a different kind

THE horns of the water buffalo are its most striking feature.

Buffalo could blend in with an Irish cattle herd if it wasn’t for the long, strong and dangerous-looking weapons on their heads — those horns confirm you are looking at an animal strange to Co Cork.

And so it was with a little trepidation that I arrived at Johnny Lynch’s farm, in Kilnamartyra, the home of 130 buffalos.
