Don't know if is the same man as I didn't see that programme but it sound like the same guy. Doubt there are too many milking 700+ cows. Although I do know of 3 that are over 400+, all three of them are milking rats.


Sorry I meant JEx runts

yeah i know the fella just outside killegh, they have about 800 hundred now and will be touching the 1000 in a few years built the 1st big rotary parlour round here a few years ago and has a few more now. there is fella outside midleton that is also closing in on 1000 too, got a couple of rotary parlours too i think they are 80's.

onyerbikepat

Imagine forgetting to close the gate on those farms.

Their was a man called Tom Browne from killeagh near youghal in cork he was on the programme a year on the land I seen it a few months ago on channel horse & country. It said he was milking 600 dairy cows. I'm not sure in what year that was actually recorded but I think he had plans to milk 1000 dairy cows .I wonder how much he is milking now in 2014 maybe he has gone into more. Was delivering 30 calves a day. It was a serious operation. I doubt their is any bigger but if their was maybe you would let us know

case 956

I am with my 60 Real cows..... not 120 rats, o **** sorry I only a tiny fellow :P :P

It's like a story heard in the creamery about a bunch of farmers blowing about their parlour! One fella would say his make was the best..... And next fella would say his make was the best and so it on! And finally the last farmer said what no one could argue with. My parlour is the best because it milked my cows this morning!!!

And their big men that own that herd.

Sam Kade

Anyone remember Rodney Elliot from NI he sold up his farm and herd in 05-06 and moved to south Dakota? He bought 200 acres and built a 3000 cow dairy unit. He employs Mexicans to do the work while he does the paperwork He seems to be doing very well even though milk price crashed in 09 like here.

Lets just say, if they were to go to the jacks in a hotel, they'd have to back in, coz they couldn't turn around in there

That's sayin two things.

biddy2013

But sure it's all Willy waving crap. Some one could have 600 cows and owe millions and someone else could have 80 cows and zero borrowing s. I would prefer the 80 cows tbh no need being the big mam/woman and working yourself silly
