NDC and Kerrygold quality awards for top 10 farms

A model farm where baskets of flowers welcome visitors to the 20-unit milking parlour has won Ireland’s top prize for best quality milk.

Inside, Tom Power walks and trains heifers through the parlour every day during the build-up to calving, to reduce stress on the animals as part of his focus on having clean and healthy cows.

2016 NDC and Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards winners Tom and Moya Power milked 200 cows in 2015 at Drumhills Farm Ltd, Ballymullala, Cappagh, Co Waterford.
