FARMER HAS DECIDED TO SELL HIS BEST COWS!

In todays video it was not an easy decision one for me to make but we have decided to decrease the herd by a few. Due to good health of the cow's the herd has grown much quicker this year than we thought it would have done... so we have made the hard decision to sell the most valued cows on the farm, calved heifers...
What do you think the heifers would make?

Tom. You make me proud to be a " Lancashire Lad"! You are a first class herdsman. And you passion and respect for your cows is amazing. If only the general population could begin to understand how hard farmers work and your professionalism. Cows are so healthy!

I own 2 horses. It’s difficult to keep my two healthy and in top condition. Then I look at all your cows and find it amazing how healthy and happy they look. I can almost see them smiling.

[@1FunkyMammaJamma]

Truly amazing to listen to you talk about the different facets of running a milk farm of that size. Never thought how a few two many cows could effect milk production.

[@Sarcasticallyinspired]

You gotta do what you gotta do, as they say. Really interesting to see what difference just 4 cows can make, keeping or letting go. Good to see the detail.

[@BauerHermann1811]

What these cows are worth depends on how much milk they are giving and how many days they are lactating already. Or if they are in calf or not. Here in germany an average Holstein friesian in first lactation can bring from 1500 - 2500 euros.

Tom, I have been a fan for a couple years all the way here in the United States! Today was a sad day for me, and very much matched this video. I have been a student worker living and working for the University of Kentucky Coldstream Dairy farm for the past year and a half. Due to some decisions made by the suits in charge of budget, they made the decision recently to close the dairy. It has been a historic farm, been running since around 1940. However today was exceptionally sad because we sold our ENTIRE milking herd today. I do not intend to become a dairy farmer, but working here certainly made it grow near to my heart. While there is still work to do, I will likely not be milking a cow ever again, which does make me sad. This is a long way to say thank you for your videos, I have really enjoyed them. Now I will certainly enjoy the milking videos even more. One day after all this Covid crap, I would love to come out and visit the farm. Thank you!
