Signpost: Ruairi welcomes 'Bundee' to the farm in Kilkenny

It's been a start-stop early grazing season on Ruairi Cummins' farm in Kilmoganny, Co. Kilkenny. Picture: Patrick Browne

Calving is nearing an end for 2023, with only two cows left to calve, which are due over the next few days. We had the vet out for two c-sections this month, and two fine bull calves were safely delivered. I weighed one out of curiosity and he was a whopping 85kg!

Of course, in honour of the rugby match that was on the same weekend, he was named ‘Bundee’ after Bundee Aki. [That's the Samoan-New Zealander currently playing for Ireland, who has been described as "an absolute wrecking ball"].
