[@thefunkyfarmer]

[@kirkbengtson2110]

Always enjoy your videos especially those with your children. Farming with family is a great life.

[@liamg5845]

Great video as always! X

[@AdevăruriIstoriceAscunse]

Wonderful! 💗😉😊 Best regards from London!

[@andypaxton2639]

Another great vid and 2 young farmers in the making

[@brendanmccourt7408]

Great video Richard we have the cows in a week now we bed them with lime and fine sawdust using a AG maxi lime spreader great machine

[@samerbako2358]

Best videos ever and always puts a smile on my face and my dream is to have my own small holding with chickens, 3 dexter cows,3 goats and ducks, geese too

[@jackmcgahan3065]

great video Richard

[@rufushowe3885]

I e worked on three farms before, milking is fun. But ploughing and bringing in the crops is good fun too. Love the old tractors more than the new ones, When do o start

[@ourllamacalmerfarminfrance239]

Fantastic video. Makes me appreciate how easy my seven llamas are to muck out and bed down. Maybe I should try a video diary of my llama farm.

[@jackyboy8256]

love your video

[@neilwilkinson1254]

Hope you are paying them well for the work they have done for you mate

[@matthewirvine5848]

We have lots of grass in northern ireland but the feilds are too wet in places

[@atahservices2840]

I havent seen another cow shed like yours. Ours is just 3 pens for diffetent aged cows amd when there out during the day, just yse a straw spreader on the jcb

[@rezcostello1936]

another great video Richard. just wondering if you would be better getting one of them gopro's because in my opinion i think it would life alot easier then handling the camera with one hand and using one hand for another if you know what i mean? just a suggestion.

[@johnhanleyagri4183]

Good vid

[@henrypearse5674]

Great video! You should really invest in a straw chopper

[@alistairtipping9343]

great vid, what do you use the loader on the 265 for?

[@rufushowe3885]

Hello its rufus from London England again just saying that I've just finished watching all your videos, I would like to know if I could become a worker helper on your awesome farm.

[@mattworden_]

How may cows do you have and how much land do you farm?

[@Brooke_RS197]

Just curious Richard as to why you put the straw at the foot of the cubicle? In our system weve got the same style cubicles as yours except we throw it to the front of the stall instead, put more in then as well, gives the cows the opportunity to nibble at some if they feel the need but they also drag the straw back, and as they run out at the front (takes 2-3 days) you put more in and its almost like a self feeding conveyor system.. hope my comment makes sense 😂

[@johnmcdonnell3616]

Brooke Cable That's bedding for the cows

[@Brooke_RS197]

John Mcdonnell i realise that.. the same as ours mate im just asking why he puts it where he does is all 😂

[@johnmcdonnell3616]

Brooke Cable Its straw you use it for bedding its not hay or silage cows don't eat it. He puts it there because that's where the cows lie down.

[@Brooke_RS197]

John Mcdonnell go and do a course on cattle nutrition mate, cows will eat straw if its presented to them, it helps when cows get upset stomaches and a cow will actively seek high fibrous foods.. so yes cattle will eat straw

[@Brooke_RS197]

John Mcdonnell also im gunna guess youre a young lad, so take a look at something called Total Mixed Ration (TMR) its a feed mixture of silage, wholecrop and straw.. and this is used as a feed as the straw has useful feed value properties to further promote digestion

[@leoyates7577]

Hi rich why don't u get a straw spreader for your spare tractor and put the bales in then do one side at a time. It will be easier and faster👍🏻 Good vid

[@Brooke_RS197]

Leo Yates they arent cheap machines and on a very small family farm its not worth it

[@leoyates7577]

Brooke Cable he could get a old one for the 3 point

[@Brooke_RS197]

Leo Yates whilst thats true.. youve got to think of cost.. machinery is an EXPENSE and not an investment.. it costs more to run and on a small farm the time it saves wont outcost the fuel and maintenance of the chopper.. in fact the ways in which family farms produce milk is more cost effective than your large dairy units

[@kazbenfield3088]

Good picture

[@paultreanor3549]

How many milk cows do u have In that field

[@thefunkyfarmer]

about 80

[@senankeane]

Is jack able to drive the tractor?

[@ryanwilliams77480]

Senan Keane wouldn’t of thought so looks a bit short

[@senankeane]

Ryan Williams suppose so

[@walt9234]

You never tried sawdust in the cubicles its a lot easier

[@geraintholloway4612]

You should maybe invest in maybe some sort of gopro with a head strap or chest strap make your work easier so you can film more of your work on the farm

[@nickaf5262]

Bacteria loves that straw

[@heikkisinkko1480]

Are boys free from school?

[@paddydevlin5430]

Get a go pro with head strap , would be far easier to work and record

[@samerbako2358]

And I would like to ask why don't you raise chickens for your farm

[@thefunkyfarmer]
