In the latest episode of Agriland's limited podcast series "the Dairy Trail", technical dairy specialist, Cathal O'Shea visited the farm of Michael Guinan in Co. Offaly. Michael is milking 118 Montbéliarde cows through two robotic milking machines just outside of Tullamore alongside his wife Concepta, and his son Kevin. He talks us through the decision of moving to robotic units back in 2021, and how they have integrated in to the farm system since. We hear about the upcoming breeding season, and the criteria used to deliver optimum calves that suit the system. Michael also talks us through his grazing season so far and how he has got on with spreading nutrients beside the Grand Canal.
