John and Yvonne Keating have two children Aimee and Chloe and live on their farm in Dungarvan with John’s mother, Cait. John grew up on the farm and took it over from his father, he enjoys dairy farming as the routine suits family life. What defines the future success of the farm for John is that it can be passed successfully onto the next generation.
“The routine of dairying suits family life”
“Sea breezes, views, the cows and the fresh air – it’s the best way of life.”
“Quality is very important to me in everything I do and I aim that everything on my farm is completed to top quality”
“My advice to young dairy farmers is: drive on – don’t wait – take the opportunities and chances when you are young.”
“We try and keep the farm organised and efficient – which makes it simpler to run and we have a good team on the farm between our family and Tom and Daniel. Everyone is involved.”
“It doesn’t happen overnight we are ten years at this”
