The episode discusses how the O’Callaghan family utilizes technology to monitor their dairy farm in Cork.

With advancing technology, farmers can now simply monitor their animals around the clock, allowing them to detect and treat any illness before it progresses. John, Eileen, and their son Micheál O’Callaghan are running a dairy enterprise in Mourneabbey, Mallow, Co. Cork. The family are milking 160 purebred pedigree Holstein Friesian cows on a grass-based system.
