GoSolar Attend Moo & Brew
It was fantastic connecting with local herd owners and dairy farmers at Moo & Brew, hosted by the Breffni Oriel Holstein Friesian Breeders Club on Friday, October 30th, at the Sean McDermott’s Football Club complex in Threemilehouse, Co. Monaghan (H18 HK49).
Running from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the event brought together progressive dairy farmers from across Monaghan, Cavan, and surrounding counties for an engaging afternoon of technical presentations, agri-trade updates, and sustainable farm solutions.
Key Highlights from the Day
Expert MC & Speaker Presentations: Adam Woods, Livestock Editor at the Irish Farmers Journal, served as MC for the event. The seated presentation area featured key speaker talks at, focusing on livestock nutrition, feed efficiency, and practical farm management.
40+ Agri-Trade Stands: The main hall hosted around 40 local and national agri-suppliers. The GoSolar team was on hand throughout the day, meeting with dairy farmers to discuss reducing operational overheads through commercial solar PV and battery storage.
Strong Community Turnout: Backed by promotion across Teagasc discussion groups, local radio, and the Farmers Journal, the venue saw steady footfall, with the Breffni Oriel committee providing complimentary refreshments for all attendees.
Lowering Milk Cooling and Milking Costs with Solar PV
With high daily energy requirements for wash water heating, vacuum pumps, and milk cooling tanks, dairy farms are ideal candidates for self-generated solar energy. Daytime generation matches key milking and cooling windows, helping farms lock in lower energy rates and optimize TAMS III grant support.
A sincere thanks to Deirdre Toal and the Breffni Oriel Holstein Friesian Breeders Club committee for hosting a top-class event and supporting local agri-businesses.
