DECISION IS MADE! THE HIGHLANDS ARE COMING IN!

[@alexpreston8633]

Just recently started farming and I am nearly 16. Your videos are really entertaining and I have learned a lot from them. Keep up the great work and I look forward for more

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Tom , I think you should turn the other trough around because when baby calf’s eat their growing horns will get stuck or one of the big highland cows will get head stuck.

[@dorothydelaney7920]

Lovely to see the Highlands. The calves have done well. We wean all our calves by putting them in the next pen! No roaring, no stress, all goes smoothly. Don't know if it would work with Highlands but it certainly works with other beef breeds. Cattle become more placid when you walk amongst them regularly and scratch their tails and backs.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

DOROTHY DELANEY I have heard about this, they can see each other but no suckle anymore. I might try that

[@yazmindunne3059]

Sounds like you have a decent father .. Great to hear him ensuring the calves get feed in the other trough .

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Yazmin Dunne Yeah he's not a bad guy, likes his livestock like me 😀

[@paulkilburn6102]

Just a thought for your merch. There is a market for classy framed pics of highland cattle. My quest for one for my partner is a struggle. Brilliant stuff from you cheers, not a farmer but utterly fascinating👌👍

[@JamesDavis121]

Really cool stuff you do Tom. Your episodes are always informative. Such Beautiful Cows the Highlands are.

[@mikerom9958]

Hi Tom, I've been wondering why your Dad is so keen on the Highland. I think its the eyebrows!! The Highlands and your Dad are well into bushy brows! Thanks for all the fantastic vids and info, soaking it all up. Hope you don't mind all the questions, how else am I to get into livestock farming:) All the best.

[@DOLfirst]

🤣😂

[@beverlykamps8249]

Watch some vlogs from Swedish Homestead. Simeon has a herd of Highlands, and they are very tame and come when he calls them. One of his is called Sally and her antics have made her very well known. The vlogs are in English.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Beverly Kamps I think I have seen some video but not a lot. Will give them a look 😀

[@rogerfleury3591]

115th! GOOD MORNING TOM, LUKE, AND THE GINGER GUY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA 😊

[@00networker]

Keep up the good work to love seeing your vids on here

[@benburns5995]

No worries Tom about not getting the drone footage. It was nice to see the 2 mothers and their calves up close and we got to see a small amount of them getting moved. I think the best way to make the calves friendly would be to hand feed them treats, so that they get used to you touching an being close to them. Best of luck when you have to wean the calves away from the mothers with those long horns.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Ben Burns I feed one of the little ones for the first time yesterday, so hopefully they might be getting better. Fingers cross 🤞

Subscribed for the highlands.

[@annmariewright1807]

[@fercho271morales]

[@charliecriddle4209]

It is our half term now and I am really bored but this just made my day 100% better! Thank you 👍🤘

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

The 32 Farmer Thanks, I'm glad I could help 🙌

[@ak-47kelly31]

I really enjoy watching youre videos :D

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

AUTIST Thankyou very much 😀

[@liamhennessy31]

Great video Tom. Could you do an update vid on how much silage yeve left and how the 3rd cut bales turned out ?

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

liam hennessy Thankd Liam, yeah I can do. We haven't opened the 3rd cut bales yet, still on the years before but when I do I will do mate 😀

[@damienryan4007]

There is a nose paddle for calfs that stops the calf from sucking. There called quite wean paddles we used them for the past two years and found them to be great. You should find a Video on KZbin.

[@colbycarreon3426]

I love seeing how farming here in the USA is different form you guys over the lake.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Colby's Cattle Company it's great to see how other people do things, in always looking at other people's ways and seeing what I can copy 😀

[@PokebrosGaming]

My black highland jumped two fences and ran like 150 acres across fields in a matter of miniutes

[@shekeyra100]

there beautiful them highlands

[@laurakathryn4458]

since watching your videos Highlands are my Fav cows... (( I'm a pet groomer so I guess it's the hair LOL))

[@chubbycheeks2701]

They are so cute

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Another great video Tom.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Trevor Jarvis Thanks Trevor 😀

[@PokebrosGaming]

Ur so close to 10k love ur vids tom

[@tractorlad5534]

I love your vids keep up the good work

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Tractor lad Thanks mate 😀

[@AndersonCattleCo]

If you want the super friendly halter break them and feed them grain by hand.

[@MatthewHoag77]

I wonder how they'd do with beet pulp.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

They won't come near me though, just stay with there mothers. I think I will have to wean them first

[@anton1957]

AndersonCattleCo. OO

[@flossie5432]

Maybe it's just about familiarisation-spending as much time with them as you can and giving good back scritches ?

[@neilmcdowall6773]

@@TomPembertonFarmLife any updates about neptune calves

[@koryleague8833]

Great video Tom. I'm no cow expert, never been around highlands. But my old boss when we got new heifers in. He would lock them up like you did, and hand feed them grain. He always rattled then bucket or feed bag, and talked to them. Go to the point if the cows ever got out all we usually had to do was hollar and rattle a bag or bucket and they'd come running. I bet if you hand fed them bread every day they'd he your best friend.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

kory league the older ones you can fee with bread but can't get up to them to scratch them. Some of my milkers follow you around the yard for a scratch hahah

[@clivereynolds6633]

Another interesting video Tom. Two questions to ask. Do you ever suffer from all the dust in the air you breath. How the heck do you manage in the freezing weather.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Clive Reynolds Thanks Clive, I don't suffer currently but it is a issue that I am thinking about as I'm using more sawdust at the moment. Hahah it was abit warming and when I do some jobs i get warm

[@flossie5432]

From your accent ,I'd say your farm is Lancs not yorkshire.Interesting channel.Looks like you had a wet,mucky winter-but from april onwards ,we've had it very dry in the UK.

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Nice 👌

[@crofter3903]

Just feeding them cake in a trough or something usually quiten down after a while

[@keiranpowell1349]

What is the tractor on the Keenan mixer

[@PokebrosGaming]

I had a black highland first I trained them to come to the bucket and go from there does take a bit of time as they r with calfs

[@jamesboyle1038]

Your a good man on the grape lol

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

James Boyle Grape? Haha thank you I think 😀

[@upthereds4939]

its a Sprong boii

[@PokebrosGaming]

Tom a grape is another word for a fork

[@jamesboyle1038]

Here in Donegail we would use a fork say for hay it would have a long handle and two prongs. A grape we would use for graphing dung and feed short handle 4 prongs. I guess more or less the same thing

[@heddabockholdt4504]

James Boyle ii

[@lyonoo]

Good afternoon Tom !!!! Another great vid, would the highlands ween the calves themselves if given time ? It would be great if you could do a herding tip video as my dexters are impossible to herd anywhere and it usually involves a chase around the field ending up in failure then bridging them with nuts !!

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

lyonoo Thankyou very much 😀, I think so in the wild. Surly they can't be on forever as the cow will be making calves all the time. I'll try and make it happen 😀

[@oldchannel2004]

Another Amazing Video, Well Done

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

A Chick Called Faith Thankyou very much 🙌😀

[@robotv7352]

Good video always wanted to get a highland cow

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

[@eoinmccollum1639]

[@lwrdcarsandcoffeemedia3679]

[@Joey-ve7ku]

What do you think of alpacas Tom?

[@jimthijs6256]

Nice video Tom Is it already T shirt weather in England?

[@flossie5432]

Only for those shovelling silage LOL

[@jacobmart8653]

Is it only those four highlands that you own? I have a highland who had her calf on Sunday night

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

The Farming Dude Yeah it's only the four. Oh that's exciting! Everything went to plan and well I hope 😀

[@jacobmart8653]

Tom Pemberton Farm Life Yeah we didn't need to help her she had the calf on her own

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

The Farming Dude that's the main thing then, it's best when you don't need to get involved

[@MatthewHoag77]

My uncle and cousin raise Highlands in northern Wisconsin. The climate is perfect for them.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Matthew Hoag I could imagine, nice a chilly 😀

[@mrsir9616]

Field is same after a rugby game in the rain.

[@samsantics2243]

my knowledge says lots of love and hugs my knowledge only go so far

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

farmtrucker81 I think I can do this! Hahah

[@farming1328]

What county do you live in????

[@keithzahra7438]

[@ianmcgann6583]

What do bed cows with

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Ian Mcgann Bagged sawdust, abit better stuff than the highlands are on 😀

[@ianmcgann6583]

Tom Pemberton Farm Life is that any good for spreading manure on the land after

[@ianmcgann6583]

Tom Pemberton Farm Life ???

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Ian Mcgann yeah I think so, breaks down pretty well

[@brandeissports3436]

👍

[@keithzahra7438]

how do you well idk tame a calve i mean like make it firendly. usaully when they are young friendly from 11 months on words not as much

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Keith Zahra yeah I'm going to have to start early, that's why I want to look into it now really

[@tractorlad5534]

Tom

[@milly-joponsillo6171]

I'm not sure if it's true but I've heard that too much bread gives cows stomach ulcers

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

mills- xx we don't feed a lot of bread, maybe a loaf or two a day. I don't think that will make them to bad?

[@edwardball790]

What's the difference between a steer and a bullock

[@SuperSparkie123]

There's no difference between them both are males that have been castrated!

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Epic Puffin I think they are the same, just what different people call them depending where you are 😀

[@edwardball790]

Tom Pemberton Farm Life ah in Cornwall it's mainly bullocks then I guess thanks great vid

[@anneoshea8570]

Gud idea bringing them in the mess they made is fairly bad if the were left any longer it would probably hav to be reseeded

[@alanolearyalanoleary4046]

A L A O L EARY

[@connorcoleman9569]

Just try hand feeding them or just be slow and they wont stres and get mad

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Connor Coleman I think them being with there mothers isn't helping, always running behind them when you go close

[@patrickdorman8120]

WHY NOT DE HORN THEM FOR SAFETY?

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Patrick Dorman if you de horned them they would lose that highland character about them do you not think? You just have to be very careful

[@Conservator.]

Tom Pemberton Farm Life Here in the ‘Low Countries’ (Netherlands) in quite a few parks/forests highlanders walk free (as do (human) visitors) horns and all (referring to the highlanders again;-) and no problems at all. As long as people don’t go chasing them of course Nice to see how gently you handle these friendly ‘monsters’.

[@2xxx2xxx21]

Chain harrow nd roll it

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Tom Reel when it comes dry, that's the plan but that won't be for a long time I don't think :/

[@gursewaksingh2192]

Is this cow? For which purpose they are ? Are they for dairy

[@MurphyFarming]

Can the pore yokes even see

[@keithzahra7438]

can i get one ?????

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Keith Zahra hahahah they are so good looking sent they 😀

[@esmemcgill4570]

Jw

[@tractorlad5534]

Sorry i forgot to add your name haha

[@jeremylanger2176]

I stand by my statement. Highland calves are nothing but cute fuzzy a#$holes. That eventually grow into full grown not so cute fuzzy a$&holes.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Jeremy Langer oh they have a little temper on them, small man syndrome 🙈
