FARMER AMBASSADOR

Niall Moore

Niall Moore farms with his wife (a teacher) and their four children in Annestown, County Waterford, caring for 130 cows. Niall has invested in a robotic milking system that allows the cow to choose when she wants to be milked, constantly monitors her health and allows Niall strict control over his grazing system – all of which delivers improved milk yield and quality as well as a more contented cow.
He is a keen advocate for clover (red and white) and species such as chicory and plaintain in the sward – reducing his usage of chemical nitrogen fertiliser and its associated emissions.

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.
