We visit Connolly Farms in Portglenone to spend time with Ian and Phillip Connolly — a father-and-son team running a successful contracting business alongside a 450+ cow dairy operation. In this video, we sit down with Ian and Phillip to talk about life on the farm, how the business has grown, and the day-to-day realities of managing a large dairy herd while balancing contracting work. From family involvement to efficiency, scale, and future plans, this is an honest look at modern farming in Northern Ireland. Whether you’re involved in dairy farming, contracting, or just interested in how family-run farm businesses operate, this is one you won’t want to miss.
