Great vid, love seeing all the calves, Paul has certainly perked up let's hope the poorly one turns the corner as well. I bet your uncle was so glad to be home that's an awful long time to be in hospital, wishing him a speedy recovery, he'll relax better at home which will aid his recovery. Keep safe and well all of you.

Nice video Phil hope u uncle feelin better

[@aaronlennoncorcoran7042]

For the last feeder if u want straight across from the feeder to the pillar with a gate that way they wouldn't stand along the side of the feeder they would have to come around the front ino u would be losing a span of space which u might not be able to do For the calf with pneumonia , we had a calf last year on death store with it and the vet recommend a course of synulox for 7 days and it worked a threat he made a full recovery and is flying around the place now vet didn't think he'd make it either. Wish your uncle all the best lad stay safe Phil

Haven’t had any major issues with it just using synuclox tablets

[@darraghdoyle3097]

What exactly does the seaweed do to help the calves

Healthier in general, less scour, less pneumonia etc

Minerals

It’s the mix of micro and macro minerals and vitamins

Hi Phil, How much straw do you get through per calve, thinking of getting into the calves as we have spare sheds. Cheers

Well Phil, do you use CTC for your calves with pneumonia?

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

What’s CTC?

[@Clive-wk1wf]

@@FARMERPHIL3690 it's a yellow powder, you top dress the meal with it. Its for pneumonia and coughin or any respiratory problems with calves, we use it and think it's good stuff

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

I know the stuff we sometimes use it on the yearlings when we house them

[@jimr9762]

Them feeders look busy. Do you put lights on at night so they will feed 24hrs a day.

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Yes lights on to keep them feeding all the time

[@denismurphy5297]

[@oisinwallace5367]

Howya Phil I just want to say that I met this lad he’s awful posh and annoying and he says that we farmers are very lazy and that we just earn loads of profit without lifting a finger. I am fuming at him cos he obviously doesn’t know hard work when he sees it and he obviously doesn’t have respect for the work we do for the community he is just a pure c**t and I just said I’d tell ya cos I feel you could relate I wish yr uncle well thanks
