13 year old Tadgh Aherne feeding his calves in Kilworth Co Cork. Tadgh isn't from a farming background but because his passion for farming is so strong his parents Justin and Christina rent some land so he can buy 15 to 20 Angus and continental calves at four weeks old from local dairy farmers Tom Flynn and Tommy Sheehan. Tadgh rears these calves and sells them again as yearlings, he also has two suckler cows but wants to be a dairy farmer in the future. \ Donal O' Leary
