Paula Hynes: You win some, and lose some
Little Pat, the premature Angus calf born on the Hynes farm
We had our annual herd TB test recently. It is two hectic days on the farm when we are already maxed out with the workload. We are lucky that we have very patient vets who always take their time so that the cows are not rushed and don’t get stressed.
Thankfully, we have a clear TB test again, which now means we are 12 years clear of TB on the farm, which is a huge positive for the team. There are many conflicting views on how TB should be controlled in Ireland. The reality is that TB cannot be controlled in livestock without also controlling it in wildlife.
