Here in Cooleeney the fourth generation of the Maher family work the land. Our pedigree Friesian dairy herd is the main enterprise and animal husbandry and breeding receive Jim and Pat's careful attention. 

Quality is the keynote at Cooleenev. The cows are kept in a clean healthy environment. They enjoy the best of green pastures and carefully selected feed to ensure milk of the highest possible quality for the production of artisan cheeses 

Our Friesian dairy herd is a closed herd and all replacement animals are breed on the farm. This practice helps to reduce the risk of disease in our herd.

The four generations of Mahers in Cooleeney have built this dairy herd to its present high standard and the first recorded award for quality milk is noted in 1905 records. Our farm continues to receive national and international awards for cheeses.
