Irish Dairy is based around seasonal pastural based system and is based on three core principles,

grassland

breeding

finical management (Dillion et al., 2008).

Grazed grass is the cheapest feed source available to Irish dairy farms (O'Keily, 1994)

The aim of the project is to improve grassland management on the farm of Patrick Moloney.

Located North-west limerick
