Paula Hynes: A true dynasty on our dairy farm

I often wonder if the consumer knows what it takes to produce food and the sheer hardship that farmers put themselves through

The dictionary defines the word 'dynasty' as a succession of people from the same family who play a prominent role in a business. I can honestly say when it comes to cows, our Alanna has, without doubt, created a dynasty of her own on our farm. 

She calved for the 11th time at the start of February with a wonderful black heifer calf sired by Unix. It's nice to get a Unix heifer from her as he is a tremendous sire of cows, and she herself is a cow maker.
