    We are a dairy farm in the south of Ireland, we calve our cows in the spring and they graze grass most days . My wife is a veterinary surgeon and works with the Department of Agriculture.
    We have dairy cows, 5 horses( for leisure) , 3 dogs and a cat.
    We work hard on the farm but like our time off as well.
    There is a bus route near us that runs very regularly to Cork city 15km away.
