Photo/ Video marketing / YouTube Allowdale Herefords - Heifers 2015

The last few days have been spent editing photos for updating the web site wwww..allowdale.com and in particular last 2 days were spent taking individual videos of the heifers that we are marketing. 

The heifers were brought from Buttevant to Kanturk in order to be washed and brushed for video shoot.
They behaved very well and each animal has their own video clip on youtube and on the web site.

Photo/ Video marketing / YouTube (2014)

The last few days have been spent editing photos for updating the web site wwww..allowdale.com and in particular last 2 days were spent taking individual videos of the heifers that we are marketing. The heifers were brought from Buttevant to Kanturk in order to be washed and brushed for video shoot. They behaved very well and each animal has their own video clip on you tube and on the web site. Uploading to youtube has proven to be much longer and more time consuming that one would expect. Next year we have to do this quicker, better, faster !

Winter 2013 - Fodder Crisis

For those that did not follow the Irish news - This past winter is still taking a bite out of 'profit' as the animals that are usually out on grass in February did not get out of the sheds until June. In the south of Ireland - you do not usually have such elongated winters. It just rained and rained therefore the grass growth fell 6 weeks behind and the land was saturated with water - Animals on saturated land produce muddy animals and destroy the land. We are very much looking forward to a more profitable 2014 as 2013 will be long remembered as the non-profitable year !

2012 What a year that was !

It's December 2012 already .... and there are 246 animals in the Irish Herd (excluding Canada and the US). What a year - fantastic new embryo calves from the Canadian Embryos purchased Very pleased with the embryo purchases - nothing on the ground from US yet
