Barry Cahalan and Lorraine Davis (from Borrisokane, north Tipperary) are a young couple who wanted to start a viable farming enterprise after they finished college. Barry and Lorraine both previously worked on dairy farms and had a love of sheep. After a visit to Stott’s sheep dairy in England, they built a sheep shed on the land owned by Barry’s family. One month later, they purchased their breeding stock, 70 Friesland lambs. That autumn, they erected a new shed specifically built for their new enterprise containing a bedding area, parlour, meal store and cheese storage facilities. In March 2013, the first lambs were born and then the milking began.
