Proud Cork woman Maeve O'Keeffe is currently in the depths of calving on her 300-cow dairy farm, which is split between two milking platforms in Ballynoe and Curraglass in Co Cork.
However, she is most notably known for being the brains behind the invention of the roll-over cow crate.
When the sixth-generation dairy farmer went to study agriculture in Kildalton and WIT, she soon found herself on work placement in New Zealand, where she got the idea for the crate.
