Two Roscommon transition year students are hoping to shake up the cattle handling equipment market with their innovative anti-backing bar design.

Gavin Moran and Michael Hanley, both from farming backgrounds, were inspired to develop the product as part of the Enterprise module at Roscommon Community College after Gavin had been involved in several painful incidents while working with cattle in a crush.
