Great to see

It’ll take an overnighter, but deadlines will be met. 👍👍

So much stress and excitement ❤

Nice

Wondering the effects of light flicker on dairy cows. Seems I read something there might be negative effects

There's been a lot of progress since i first subscribed while watching the original demolition video. You should be fine with those entry lead in ways, 700mm wide with 1200mm before the antenna is pretty much standard for any herringbone running an entry ID system. I can recognise the pulsators from 100m but im not familiar with those flow meters which leads me to guess you have a Delpro system going in???

That sparkys got a bit on! Haha

Lookin all fancy and high tech. I’ve every faith you’ll get it done, and in good order.

Shed is looking awesome man. If I would recommend something. how u have reduced the entry into the the cow shed now I’ve never seen it,it might work might not but if it doesn’t I recommend that u put a straight peace of bar going for the corner off the wall of the entry of the shed to your Brest bar it will help with better cow flow in the shed. Great video man

cheap VSD is an actuated leak valve, control vacuum but will still use the same juice always

Feeling the pain in that cold snap, we had no water in the pit, some of the cups had to be thawed, the yard blasters were iced up and the outside hose was frozen solid 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 Gotta love the dairy life 💜💜

It’s really looking like a dairy now, can’t wait to see the cows walking in 😊😊😊💜💜

Things are really progressing 👍👍

We had 35 mils out here

Nice vid mate 👍

A damn fine video Those rock pickers are something else FarmerPhil gets a lot of use out of his over in Ireland

How much was hire of the rock picker ? Can’t find anyone in Qld with one for hire

How good. Great work.

Looking good mate 👌

Dams look great 👍🏻 really enjoying this journey of yours Josh 💜🇦🇺

You're a funny bugger!

You say you haven't had any rain for a couple of months, but you could dig your ground with just a shovel. A couple of months no rain here, Central Queensland, and it's hard going with a crowbar. Half your luck. Enjoying your story. By the way, 30 degrees isn't that hot.

G day from the Mid North Coast of NSW. Josh I feel for ya. I've had my calves do the same thing. Lost about 30 bales as well...until I set up a separate electric fence for for the silage. Now they dont even look at it. Stored most of the damaged bales in my shed. Silage here cost about 80 to 100. So not wasting any.

an idea for your stone trap I have seen is putting a concrete slab beside it so when cleaning it out you put solids on the pad to dry out and liquids run back into stone trap then once dry you can spread out using a fert spreader

Need a bit of tape to patch them bales up

All that work’s coming along nicely. I can just imagine the frustration with the cattle. Any chance you could re-bale them to cut your losses?

Feel your heartache over the hay

Bloody cows, ya can’t trust them 😂🤣😂. Must say you scrub up alright Josh tie and all 😊

Can only keep on keeping on mate, it will all sort itself out mate, really enjoying ya videos 👍👍

Seriously though when will it rain in 2024?

I love those Jobe detach use them here in NZ, take them off during summer so the cows don't break the ballcock arms.

$200 <<>> $2000. Not a difficult decision.

Good job the wrapping is pretty good to hold there shape

The giants causeway of taz

Good to see things coming along so nicely

Looking really good fella 👍

Just found your videos,going to binge watch them to catch up. Watching in north Scotland.

Are you a new entrant into farming only came across ur channel there

Dairy shed’s looking great. Do you have much need for solar? Looks to have potential for a nice solar array. Good the neighbour could lend you the equipment for irrigation. Weathers not been cooperative too many places the last few years. Too much or not enough rain with all the farmers I watch. It’s good you can irrigate when you need to, but who’d have thought the beginning of winter.

You weren't the only one that had to irrigate to harvest spuds if that make you feel better. BIL had to do the same at Bracknell so they could harvest. Did see the irrigator in your paddock with the harvester parked behind and thought that's not something you see everyday.

Woohoo progress! It’s all happening 😊. Know what you mean with the lack of rain, but it’s gotta happen eventually 🐄🐄🐄

Maccas $5.25 (aud) per 150g serve (large fries). 6 serves per kg = 400 litres of water and that doesn't include the HUGE volume of water used in washing and processing.

Power harrows do a great job, in my opinion.

Josh truck and trailer around 42.5 tonnes if on mass management 45 tonnes all up

Saw in one of your videos putting Jersey bulls out with your heifers than you said after 6 weeks you take them out than put Murray Grey bulls in to clean up the rest are you going to keep their heifers to milk as well. We used to milk Murray Grey cross on our farm The New England Tablelands in Northern NSW. The Murray Grey gave more milk than the Jersey but not as much as the Friesian but gave butterfat about on par as the Jersey. What's we found was with them they didn't mine the Heat or the cold like the Friesian did as we had very cold winter and very hot summer.

It’d sure be nice if those numbers work out. I do like the cautious. Double your test patch next year and see if the numbers hold.

You need to do the trials over 3 to 4 years as to cover annual weather conditions that what i found any way.

Pallet fork damage, have had it before lots. The second split you showed looked a lot like it and how far apart those splits were

I had that problem once went for a dearer pipe made in Australia not Chinese ended up with like 10 joins and more happen pull it's all put whole New pipe in half the price from China and no more problem. When in a Drought you don't want to keep replacing broken pipe and water not where you want it

what made you get into dairy farming, early mornings, no holidays and a huge cost.
