It all started with a pet calf named 'Blackie'.She was given to Larry Murrin by his godfather when she was born. As a child, Larry became very attached to the black and white calf at home on the family's 30ac farm in Summerhill, Co Meath.
His father Tom was a small builder and farmer, his mother Anne, of the well-known Ryan butchering and undertaker dynasty, had her own butcher shop in the Royal County.
