James Murphy

@Jimmulh @JacWhelanFagan @IFAmedia Delighted for you Jim. Long may it last. TB breakdown is a proper nuisance and very stressful.

I'm happy to say that after 10 months restricted, our herd today tested TB free. It's a great feeling!. We lost some great cows along the way, but hopefully, we are out the far end. So, for anyone in the middle of it , stay strong. There is a pathway through it. @IFAmedia

Lovely occasion today with family and neighbours gathering to celebrate our friend Morgan Bridget’s 100th birthday. Still enjoys a hot whisky and a smoke but had to hurry back in to the tv to watch the racing 😂. May you enjoy many more Morgan.

@Jimmulh Thoughts with ye Jim at this tough time. It’s a curse when it sweeps some of the good ones - they’re like family. Hopefully ye get through it quickly. Happy Christmas to all.

After 18 years clear, TB caught up on us again . We are heartbroken here to lose our iconic Dream cow. A once on a lifetime cow to us. More than just a cow. Herself and 10 more down. Devastating. 💔

@IFAmedia @COPACOGECA @conorcoleary Good man Conor well done. Best of luck in the role.

Best wishes to the new leadership team of the @COPACOGECA Working Party on Horses, including our Munster regional chair @conorcoleary. 🐎🐎🐎

@IFAmedia No better man. We’ll be guaranteed 100% commitment. Best of luck in the role JP.

JP Ryan from Borrisoleigh in north Tipp @IFAmedia has been elected vice-chair of the IFA National Sheep Committee today. He will work with chair Adrian Gallagher on behalf of sheep farmers.

@Jimmulh @IFAmedia @gormanifa One of the very best Jim. You put in a great 4 year shift and farmers in Kilkenny greatly benefited. Thank you. IFA can’t afford to allow people of your calibre to drift away. Please stay involved.

Yesterday marked the conclusion of my term on @IFAmedia national council. I was honoured to receive a presentation from president and my good friend @gormanifa. Its been a busy 4 years.!!! Best wishes to the new team.

@JacWhelanFagan @brianrushe81 @farmersjournal @IFAmedia Best of luck Jackie

Can anyone really explain this? We have the best dairy products in the world and the finest grass fed beef yet we are going to import more Brazilian products so we can lower our Co2? This is madness on a grand scale

How do you know what lambs 🐏are the best performers? Use your Weight Report ⚖️📲 to assess flock performance. #LambPlus breeders record critical animal weights throughout the year so it is important to use this data to its full potential. sheep.ie/?p=5544

You can't expect sustainable food production at rock bottom prices, don't cod yourself. If you want to support farmers buy farmer owned brands of milk - Simple! @IFAmedia

This is more evidence of the livestock sector getting on with what it needs to do. It’s not about cutting food production, it’s not about reducing numbers, it’s about using science & innovation to reduce EMISSIONS from the sector. Breeding will play a huge role over coming years.

This cow has been with us for 7 years, she’s calved every year. She’s one of the quietest cows on the farm. This is why you should never trust any of them. Last night wasn’t a good one. Dani is ok, just bruised, but if she was lone working it could of been different. Hellish.

@HaroldKingston1 @CorkMarts @marteye1 Very best of luck Harold. Hope you’re sale exceeds your expectations.

Few changes planned around here. RTs appreciated 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄 #grasstomilk ➡️ #grasstocontractrearing @CorkMarts @marteye1 m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…
