Did you know that it`s National Hedgerow Week?

Keeping traditions alive is important for our Certified Irish Angus farmers. The Murphy family live on the banks of Lough Ree and have continued the practice of hedge-laying native species on their farm. It is a great example of encouraging wildlife and restoring farmland to what it once was generations ago.
