FARMER AMBASSADOR

Caroline Hanrahan

Caroline Hanrahan and her husband Ger own and operate one of the 17,500 family-run farms in Ireland, producing milk and other milk products with their 350 strong dairy cows. Caroline is well-used to farming, having grown up on her own family farm, before getting a science degree in University College Dublin. A few years later, she married Ger, and the pair have been working together, along with their five children, in the dairy business ever since.
The Hanrahan farm located near Ballyhooly in north Cork has been in their family’s hands for six generations and across that time they’ve seen a lot of changes throughout the dairy industry in Ireland. The family currently supplies to Dairygold.

Miriam Gunn

Miriam, farmer and mum of four, believes that Women in Dairy is about recognition – her grandmother worked on the farm but would never have considered herself a farmer. “It’s about women standing up and saying, hold on, we’re doing this too, and being acknowledged for it.” She’s also keen to see country kids being encouraged to participate in dairying and to be proud to be part of it.

Niall Moore

“The cow is in charge of everything she does – she has to come to the robot, it’s a simple as that.” Niall talks about his move to the robotic milking system, better for him, better for his family who work with him but, above all, better for the cow. The robotic system monitors cow health and milk quality, and enables Niall to manage his pastures to ensure the best grass for his animals.
