The Nevilles told That’s Farming:

“In recent years, the herd has enjoyed a lot of success, reaching new heights never achieved before.”

“In 2018, our dream of winning the Irish National Dairy Show in Millstreet was realised when Milliedale Dusk Rhapsody EX95 was crowned supreme champion.”

“Also, in 2019, the herd was featured in Holstein International for the first time. We have, in recent years, reached new heights in classification, with the herd currently housing 2 EX95 point cows and 2 EX94 point cows.”

“The herd has also been showing steady improvement all the time, not only for classification but also for index and milk production.”
