Farm Smart: Simplifying farm management on Cashel Blue Cheese Dairy Farm, Co. Tipperary
Pat Morrissey has been the farm manager for Cashel Blue Cheese Dairy Farm in Co. Tipperary for over 32 years – “I started working on the farm in 1988 and took over the running of the farm upgrading the herd to pedigree and improving milk quality and volume.” Pat started his journey with Herdwatch many years ago and has not looked back since. “I heard about Herdwatch at the FRS Stand at the ploughing match a long time ago and I signed up that day, it was very easy. I use it for a lot of things such as medicine recording, registering calves, animal movements, animal history and running reports.” Herdwatch is fully compliant with Bord Bia and EU quality assurance standards and allows farmers to register calves and manage cattle movements on their phone. It is fully integrated with ICBF so farmers can see their breeding, milk records and EBI/Eurostar information on Herdwatch.
