News that Rockwell Farm, one of the best-known dairy farms in the country, is going to be offered for sale has set tongues wagging in Tipperary and beyond.
Who knows who will buy it and what they will do with it, but with lots of equine and tillage interests in the locality, the future of the farm as a dairy could be in doubt.
If the farm does move out of dairy, it will come as a blow to Dairygold Co-op, which Rockwell supplies.

Dairygold could be down the milk from around 650 cows in one fell swoop.
That would be the equivalent of seven or eight average-sized milk suppliers hanging up their milking aprons at the same time.
