I'm James O'Neill from Ballinadee

0:00:12.900,0:00:15.600
farming at home here with my father, we're milking 200 cows

0:00:16.900,0:00:20.869
we rear 50 replacement heifers
every year. the calves are about 10 weeks

0:00:20.869,0:00:25.760
old this stage are being weaned off a milk
and they're getting 2 kilos a ration per day

0:00:25.760,0:00:30.740
through the O'Neill ALCI feeder. Finding
great benefits of it it's very labor efficient

0:00:30.740,0:00:33.860
no more horsing bags over gates and

0:00:33.860,0:00:37.190
the calves are feeding themselves
through the ad-lib feeder we're hoping

0:00:37.190,0:00:41.180
to get the calfs to grass in possibly
a week's time there'll be kept on the

0:00:41.180,0:00:45.469
ration through ALCI feeder for a couple
of weeks and it can be easily calibrator

0:00:45.469,0:00:49.000
to wean and back off the ration as we
want to do so
