In the first episode of season two of Agriland's limited series 'The Dairy Trail', technical dairy journalist, Hugh Harney takes a trip to dairy farmer Eugene Lawler's farm in Co. Kildare.
Eugene is farming alongside his son Eoin and his family in Ballitore, Co. Kildare where a simple grazing system is proving very effective for them.
Eugene Lawler was a new entrant into dairy in 2015 after moving from sucklers to dairy cows and has built his herd up to be a well balanced Holstein Friesian with a small bit of Jersey running through them to keep down size.
At this time of the year, Eugene aim to "keep quality grass in front of them [the cows], keep grass in the diet and keep the meal lorry out of the yard."
