John Pringle farms 58.42 ha in one block in Aughrim, Co. Wicklow. He runs a suckler calf-to-beef system consisting of 45 spring calving suckler cows. The males are finished as under 16 months bull beef, while the heifers, not retained for breeding, are finished at 23-24 months. He also has a mid-season ewe lambing flock of 225 ewes.

In this clip, John gives an update on his calving season, plans for breeding including vaccinations, grazing and fertiliser update and plans for silage as he prepares for hosting a farm walk on Friday 29th May at 6:30pm.
