Do you have a private water supply? Then it’s your responsibility to ensure it’s safe to drink. Private sources are not regulated in Ireland, so local authorities leave testing drinking water quality in the hands of the homeowner. iaslabs.ie/environme.../drin… #SaferHealthierPlanet

Is the current dry weather affecting your breeding programme? With the high temperatures in May running into June, pressures on grass can affect breeding programmes with more cows repeating. More information on essential minerals: shorturl.at/aBRX4 #grasstomilk #DairyFarm
