The Mitchell family’s 750-cow Grove Dairy Herd, overall winner of Holstein NI’s best large junior herd in 2023, is based at Castlederg in County Tyrone. The herd is currently achieving a rolling herd average of 13,000 litres per cow per year at 4.02% butterfat and 3.26% protein.

Mark Lewis – Richhill

For over 150 years, Mark Lewis’ family have worked the same ground on which the farm sits to this day. In August 2020, the farm converted from a suckler beef herd to a fully robotic dairy unit with 120 cows being milked by two Lely A5 robots. In February 2023, Mark decided to automate the business further by installing a Lely Juno and Discovery scraper to fine-tune his daily operations, making life easier.
