BUYING NEW COWS!!? | 29,000Kg OF LIMESTONE | RAIN STOPS CARROTS

Today im sorting out space so we can buy some new cows
My name is Crawford and I’m a farmer.
Being a farmer is more than a job; it’s a way of life. The good days can involve bringing new life onto the farm or sunny days outdoors whilst on others it's dealing with machinery breakdowns and on the worst days, sometimes animal deaths.
Farming can be isolating at times - away from the busy streets and city life - so this platform brings you closer to the inner workings showing the highs and lows and everything in between.
I hope to bring some context to how the food ends up on your plate, from your Sunday roasts to morning porridge and even the tulips on your kitchen table. Hopefully a bit of agricultural education along the way.
This video captures the latest goings on including crop management and our efforts to increase sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.

Ran out of talent

[@paulthompson8467]

I take it you are expanding the beef herd where is your closest livestock market and what is your favourite breed I like Angus or Shorthorn

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Stirling and we have mainly simys, char bull and possibly get an angus bull as we get more coos

Digging with pallet forks? can't knock it, theres a lot of energy in a drop of diesel👍

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

If it works…

[@danny7567]

Never considered the cycle of seed ! Who grows seed crops etc is there designated seed suppliers or do all/some farms have a balance of growing crops for certain purposes including seed crops ? Aw god the wife will be wanting to go to the shop for a gander at the xmas stuff noo man🤦‍♂️😅 good video again 🤘

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Not loads of people grow seed as it multiples by 40 or so if you get me. Quite a few people just keep a few ton of their own crop to grow the next if its just for feed purposes. we have to be much more strict on rogues within the crop as it gets inspected for purity pre harvest

[@danny7567]

@@CrawfordsFarm1 ah I see. Yeah makes sense if it's for feed etc for your own use. Understandably tighter on the purity/quality for other uses eh ! The blue pallets we get in at my work have little blue plastic tag things screwed onto them now with a bar code on them !

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

👀 so you cant sell them anymore?? 🤣
