Inside Dairy – Moorepark trial insights, spring workload and Lakeland’s 2025 performance


On this week’s Inside Dairy, Aidan Brennan and Daire Cregg dig into the latest results from the Moorepark next generation herd trial and what they mean for the future of dairy breeding. With weather conditions improving, they also run through the key jobs farmers should be focusing on right now– from grass management to breeding decisions.
The pair break down the latest milk price announcements, Global Dairy Trade trends, and wider market signals shaping the sector.
We also sat down with Lakeland Dairies CEO Colin Kelly to unpack the co-op’s 2025 financial performance, exploring growth areas like food service, strategies for adding value, and how Lakeland’s debt position stacks up.
Plus, in The Breakdown, Aidan explains the rise of three-way crossbreeding systems and what farmers need to watch in the week ahead, including reducing supplements, managing heifers, and fertilising silage ground.
