The Kirby Family X Barryroe Co-op

"Farming 520 metres above sea level near Ballinscarthy, the Kirby family’s farm was established in 1975 when John’s father moved from Barryroe to land allocated by the Land Commission. Today, John and Teresa farm alongside their children, Gerard and Claire, with Gerard’s wife Roisin also involved. Teresa, recently retired from Clonakilty Hospital, still helps daily, while Gerard works with Barryroe Co-op and Claire divides her time between farming and World Wide Sires. Both Gerard and Claire studied in Darrara and share their parents’ passion for breeding and herd improvement, with national and European success through the Holstein Young Breeders programme. Milking 80 cows on 75 acres, the Kirbys focus on breeding strong, long-lasting cows and running a sustainable farm with solar panels, clover pastures, low-emission slurry spreading, and bird habitats throughout. “It’s about the countryside, the cows, and the satisfaction of seeing progress year after year,” “We’re proud and honestly a bit stuck for words to be nominated.” "
