ICSA warns of spring season calving dangers

The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association (ICSA) has warned farmers to be extra vigilant during the calving season.

ICSA suckler committee chairman Dermot Kelleher issued the advice in response to a number of recent attacks on farmers by cows including one involving Kerry TD, Michael Healy-Rae.

Stressing ICSA wants to see farmers staying safe at all times, he said calving is a time to be particularly on guard.
