Cotter Agritech, the Limerick-based AgTech company, is holding two field events next week with the first taking place on the farm of Brian Nicholson, Johnstown Co Kilkenny (E41 RT66) on 21 May. The second event takes place on the farm of Padraig Frasier, Louisburgh, Co Mayo (F28 YH66) on 22 May. Both events run from 6.30pm to 9pm. The events have a similar format and start with an overview of the farming system. Brian Nicholson runs a large-scale flock of upwards of 1,000 ewes with a firm focus on optimizing breeding performance and maximizing performance from grass. Padraig Frasier’s system is typical of many farms in the region and includes a flock of 150 Mayo Blackface ewes. There is also a keen focus on breeding performance and labour efficiency.
