FOUR-BAY SUCKLER SHED: This is a four-bay slatted suckler unit with a roof overhang to the front and aseparate slatted pen in each bay. There is a single slatted tank with 3.8m slats. There are four straw-bedded pens for calving/calf creep just behind the slats. Having separate calving pens means you can ensure to have only one cow in the calving pen while calving is in progress
160-COW CUBICLE HOUSE: This 12-bay cubicle house has 160 cubicle places. There are two double rows of cubicles, with ample area per cow and feed space
SHEEP HOUSING: This four-bay slatted sheep shed was built on John and Larry Tiernan’s farm in Four Roads, Co Roscommon. The Tiernans lamb down 170 hoggets every year outdoors from mid-March on. The shed was built to reduce workload, have more grass available in spring and increase slurry storage capacity on the farm.
240-COW CUBICLE HOUSE: With plans to increase cow numbers to 400 by 2020, Vincent and Mary Gorman from Ballindrum Farm, Athy, Co Kildare, recently expanded their dairy accommodation with the addition of a 240-cow cubicle shed, which was built with the help of TAMS II grant aid.
24-UNIT PARLOUR: A 24-unit DeLaval parlour kitted out with swingover arms, automatic cluster removers, milk meters, low-line jetters and an automatic washing system. The parlour is complete with an adjustable breast rail and a zig-zag rump rail.
HANDLING UNIT: Colin Tyner from Shilleagh, Co Wicklow, recently built a state-of-the-art cattle handling unit. The unit was built to make handling his 100-cow suckler herd safer and more efficient after close calls in the past when testing cattle.
