FARM FRESH MILK

We are the Beattie family. Norris and his father Rob purchased the Ballin Farm, Delvin, Westmeath in 2003. The pedigree herd known as Delasheen Holsteins was born from Rob’s half of the noted Leisheen herd, from the home farm at Manorkilbride in Wicklow established by Norris’s Dad, Rob and his uncle George. Milk production has been carried out at Leisheen since 1924 and great emphasis has always been placed on breeding long living,productive cows with strong frames and very good udders. With much hard work the herd has grown from 60 cows to 150 averaging in excess of 10,500kgs at 4.10% fat and 3.33% Protein. Norris and Alison married in 2009 and soon became a family of five with Alexandra, Harry and William. We are proud to say we are the 3rd generation in our family to milk cows and hope to continue for many more years to come! As many will know we are passionate about all things dairy from our prize winning herd of 150 pedigree Holstein cows as part of the North Eastern Holstein Club. Our herd is Bord Bia Quality Assured so this means the milk we produce is audited on a continuous basis with strict and extremely high standards in all aspects of what we do.
