“I use it for registering the calves, it's pretty easy. Well, to be honest, I don't use it, I have twin sons, they're 10, and they've been doing it for two years, so that'll show you how easy that is.”

Denis O'Leary recently caught up with Donal Quill to discuss his use of FarmOps

For Donal Quill, a Cork-based dairy farmer, simplicity and reliability are key when it comes to managing a busy farm. He’s been using FarmOps to streamline everything from calf registration to milk recording and he’s not shy about recommending it.

“I use it for registering the calves, it's pretty easy. Well, to be honest, I don't use it, I have twin sons, they're 10, and they've been doing it for two years, so that'll show you how easy that is.”

That simplicity is what sets FarmOps apart. Whether you’ve been farming for decades or just getting started, the app makes managing your herd straightforward and user-friendly.

But for Donal, it’s not just about calf registration. Milk recording has been central to his farm for over two decades and that data is seamlessly integrated into FarmOps.

“We're milk recording since 2003. We milk record six times a year. That's where the information comes from, it comes straight into the app. That's one of the advantages of FarmOps, it has all the other stuff plus the milk recording. It's there at the touch of a button.”

Having fast, reliable access to milk recording data gives Donal better oversight of herd performance and fertility, without having to chase down reports or paperwork. It’s all synced, all in one place.

“This is a family farm, there’s three or four of us involved and everyone has FarmOps on their phone.”

FarmOps works for the whole team, whether they’re in the parlour, out in the yard, or checking in from home. It’s collaborative and built to support the way real farms operate. Donal puts it plainly:

“I’m always mentioning how good FarmOps is. In my eyes, FarmOps is by far the best app out there, it covers everything.”

From milk recording and compliance to calf registration and breeding alerts, FarmOps helps Donal and his family stay one step ahead, without the stress.
