About Samantha McCarroll

Samantha McCarroll is a first-generation dairy farmer, farming alongside her husband, Niall. Together they run a split autumn and spring-calving, grass-based system on the farm they bought 12 years ago.

Starting from the ground up, Samantha and Niall have focused on improving the farm through reseeding and steadily building soil fertility and nutrient indexes. With four children and a busy family life alongside the farm, labour efficiency is central to how they manage their system, with time often being their most limiting resource.
