[@patrickmurphy9115]

That goose really had it in for you, funny as hell🙂

[@stephenepton5376]

I absolutely howled at that Goose, just when you didn't want it to fall in the hole, it did, and then, after you'd climbed in to rescue it, it flew out and hit the camera, oh blimey, it was the funniest thing I've seen on your videos for the last few months. Sorry Ian, just when you thought everything was going to plan, never work with children and animals they say, too right.....🤣

[@typhoonda2]

Never a dull moment 😅😅😅. Guess the goose just wanted it's 5 minutes of fame, I nearly cried laughing. Awesone video as always Mr P.

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Good job, well done, Ian

[@irvenrathburn9421]

It's coming together MR, P it's going to look nice that goose was funny he just wanted to get you in that hole.

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Ha ha ha ! The goose was waiting for the water 😁 he thought it was his own private bath 😅 . Realy funny .

[@simonlichcaterpillarpower]

Good morning Farmer P. very nice video!!!!!! 😊👌👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

[@purplerunner1715]

Another clear example that if only people would respect farmers, and give them a fair pay for what they offer all of us, they would spend it on making life better for the animals or even better products to put on the market. I thank you Ian on behalf of your cattle for spending hard earned money on making life better for them in the future.

Don't your start me off aswell 😂😮

[@maevephipson2803]

Hi Farmer P. 😊 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Your expression when you saw the goose in the hole reminded me of Victor Meldrew's (One foot in the grave) famous saying "I don't BELIEEEVE IT!!!!" and I just knew the minute you got into the hole the goose 🪿 would hop out of it 🙄😂😂😂. Then it got itself cornered on the wrong side of the gate 🪿 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂😂😂. Absolutely priceless😅😅😅😅. That scene made a great video into a smash hit 👍👌. Absolutely hilarious. Still laughing, hours later 😅😂😅😍🤣😅😂🤣. That was sooo funny 😅😅😂❤ Thank you, Farmer P, for inadvertently posting one of the funniest scenes of my lifetime 😂❤ It will keep me laughing about it for years to come. Never a dull moment at Bradley farm. I still laugh at the scene where Mrs P was standing at the fence when you wrangled with a sheep that brought you down into the mud 😂😂 Can't remember if you landed on top of the sheep or the sheep on top of you. I do remember Mrs P laughing with great gusto😅. Take care, Farmer P and hug for Biskit 🐕🩷🤗

[@LTeppler]

What a pleasure to see the young one working :D Happy to see all the progress!

[@2626stephen]

Cracking on as you do. Not something you find in hole everyday. That concrete looks just like mushy peas what one of the chef's cooks at work 😂😂. Nice update 👌

[@bobuncle8704]

That’s a right good start. Could you work out something with the local cement companies to deliver their overages and top off your yards that way?

[@ecc84]

When you were doing the digging in the holes I had that bloody Bernard Cribbins song going round in my head....well there is was digging this hole, hole in the ground so big and sort of round it was .......lol

[@TheByard]

Hi Ian, we always had a sheet of plastic laid on level ground and some old formwork made up slab size. These came in handy for making steps and leg stands for container stores and offices. But grading it around the water tank was putting it to use. The Atcost guys would go nuts if a hole was an inch too big or deep. It great being an armchair inspector and not getting my Crocs dirty. You will be able to swing a cat once the shed is up, good on yer. Take care.

[@casto-]

So, goose for this Sundays dinner 🤔😆 We used to have places ready for extra concrete, granted the one day we wouldn’t it would be a mounting of the stuff!

[@chrispenn715]

Our local public parks in Cardiff are covered in ragwort. The City Council will argue that it's being environmentally friendly by not mowing, but the only plants that seem to thrive are ragwort. Blackberries, nettle himalayan balsam and docks - the place looks abandoned...

[@chrislee2221]

At one time ragwort was a notifiable weed, which meant if you had it in your land by law you were required to remove, I have an idea it was down graded . Hate the stuff.

[@equitime77]

​@@chrislee2221 It was downgraded because a certain moth depends on it. Could be wrong tho

[@trevorsidley7697]

Bonus concrete - Unfortunately you still have to pay for it. Taking shape now, will be handy when all done - quite a few videos until it's all finished - Great start.

[@FarmerP]

@@trevorsidley7697 Weather permitting we will be harvesting our wheat this week, and moving a bit of straw, I don’t expect to see a lot of steel work until next week.

[@trevorsidley7697]

Of course4 the Barn extensions will join the crew as Hay and Wheat need to come first. Seeing varying yields on other channels - but not as dire as feared. Good Luck.

If you put a stake in the holes and get your laser level to spot all the hights you know when you have enough concrete in the hole 👍

[@jimpolk]

The Goose was funny. Good to have plans. Draw them out. It'll help make them happen. I like the holes. I wonder, how does he know how deep to pour the concrete and insert the leg things.

[@lynneshaw9209]

[@alanspiers5448]

Hi Ian I’ve had the same argument with some friends of mine about ragwort Have spent many hours pulling ragwort from hay fields

[@gilliantovey1014]

The big issue with ragwort is that it’s cumulative. An animal eats a small bit in year one and the poison goes to the liver and remains there. Year two the animal eats a bit more and the poison on the liver gets larger. Eventually the poor animal suffers then dies. If ragwort is left in fields and the animals stand on it so that it does off then as Ian said, the unpleasant smell goes and the animal eats it, doesn’t need to be caught up in a bale of hay. I have the feeling that there could be bits of ragwort caught up in hay this year, some farmers aren’t as scrupulous at pulling it out as others. If you’re a horse owner buying in hay you really need to trust your supplier.

[@erikklein-x6u]

Goose on the loose!

[@erikklein-x6u]

As frightened,or dumb as the goose was,at least it was agile enough to deftly glide right through the gate

[@antonyfarming]

Good job 👍 did they get all the heights the same ? When we did ours we framed and put bolts in right place before concreting

[@FarmerP]

@@antonyfarming Tim will make the columns to fit the pads Antony, adding on to an existing shed is a lot harder than building one from scratch, especially if the ground isn’t level.

[@bozobaz30]

Like you said that concrete you had to spread out it will just break up under the cows and when you scrape up all the stone will get mixed in with the muck and feed and will end up out in the fields destroying your mower blades
