Christopher Tuffy named National Dairy Council farm ambassador

West Sligo farmer Christopher Tuffy has been named as the National Dairy Council’s latest farm ambassador.

A native of Enniscrone, Christopher who milks over 150 cows near Doonally was also named as the FBD Young Farmer of the Year in 2022.

Mr. Tuffy supplies Aurivo Co-op and ranked in the top 10% of herds in their recently introduced carbon index.

National Dairy Council ambassadors act as advocates and spokespeople for Ireland’s family-farm-based, grass-fed dairy production system.

The National Dairy Council’s Farm Advocacy Manager is also a native of the north west.

Majella McCafferty was appointed to the role in June 2023.
