“My family unit are all passionate about dairy farming.”

McCoy Farm | Monaghan

Lakeland

David and Gladys McCoy have four children Clive, Mark, Deane and Stephen and have farmed this site for 50 years from a previous generation of shopkeepers. The family have expanded their cow numbers whilst still focusing on increased performance and efficiency. David loves the fact that he is just two minutes away form his “office” with the farm and that his family are all passionate about dairy farming. When not farming they enjoy taking part in local community events and the Holsten Friesian Club.
