Animal husbandry is the management and care of farm animals by humans for profit, in which genetic qualities and behaviour, considered to be advantageous to humans, are further developed. The term can refer to the practice of selective breeding and raising livestock to promote desirable traits in animals for utility, sport, pleasure, or research. (Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica).
We try to handle our animals as much as possible and build up a relationship with each and every one of them. Several of our cows are halter trained and many don’t need to be, they follow along without the need for a halter and rope. There is a critical lack of Farmer – Animal interaction within the agricultural Industry.
Animal Husbandry is going to play a very important role in the evolution of farming practice. It is our hope that Irish Farmers can be world leaders in this area. The days of mass produced poor quality meat are numbered and the sooner this is realised the better. The consumer deserves the best possible product without being charged a large premium for it. People work hard to make a living, they deserve the quality end product.
