Winter grazing of cattle on the Burren continue a centuries-old tradition
Cows grazing on the Burren in County Clare. By doing so, they continue to produce exceptionally good, healthy free-range livestock which are in great demand from buyers across Ireland and beyond.
HEAVY rain, high winds, reduced grass growth, muddy fields and shorter daylight hours are always signs of winter.
Every year, farmers have to judge the vagaries of the weather with decisions on when to bring their cattle indoors, move sheep to lower ground and ensure all their livestock have sufficient fodder supplies.
