A Cavan family is among 14 farms who has reached the finals of the 2023 National Dairy Council and Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards. Representing Lakeland Dairies, the Brennan family from Kilcogy Upper has been shortlisted for the award, dubbed the 'Oscars of the Dairy World'.
Representing 7 counties and 14 dairy co-ops nationwide, the awards recognise and celebrate the highest standards of dairy production with a focus on milk quality, animal welfare, and sustainable farming practices.
The prestigious awards, now in their twelfth year, honour farming families who work hard every day to produce top quality dairy using sustainable production methods.
Following the nominations from their respective co-operative, each farming family participated in an intensive judging process examining a broad range of criteria including environmental management, animal health and welfare, farm infrastructure and hygiene, soil and grassland management and technical performance, among other core indicators.
