Lot of work there Phil ,made harder by bringing us along for the ride,great content

Did you see the new aeration pipes that Tom pemberton has in his slurry store to agitate the slurry they would be a good investment for your slurry store one day to keep the slurry in there mixed!

Breaks it down and makes the nutrients in it available to the grass faster too.

Great video Phil. Hope uncle Ian is keeping well. Any update on the MF1200

[@gerryoconnor3414]

Hi again Phil, make a new-year resolution to de-horn every calf next year. Well worth doing and safer for man and beast. Another great video. I love looking at all the stock thriving in their winter bedrooms. And Oh, I had another one of your sirloin steaks this evening and it was excellent 👌.

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

great to hear about the steak

[@DianeD862]

Wish we could have one of Phil's steaks just to far to get it. When we come to Ireland again going to make a point of calling in .We just love Ireland.All the best.💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@ethanearle9457]

Great video Phil , that’s very similar to what goes on in our yard except we would be feeding mostly dairy cows , we used to have a Keenan 100 until it was completely worn out then we bought a refurbed mech fiber 360 cw bale handler it has saved us an awful lot of time because it holds twice as much , we are feeding brewers grain and beet to the milking cows along with first cut silage

sorry to hear about Dolly, did your best with her. great video, could you explain a bit more the changes you want to make in the barn where its tough to feed? planning forward is really interesting. thanks.

[@michealdeering4194]

Phil have you and father Phil went about fixing the 6290 in the workshop yet ?

[@cdemo1186]

Jaysus Phil I'm sorry to hear about poor Dolly, my uncle (lord have mercy on him) always said pure bred stock can be very hard to keep alive. That's a shame, but as you said where there livestock there's deadstock. A good rare Irish breed to try is the Bó Riabhach. I believe there's a farmer in longford trying to re-establish them. They are very rare and he's going around the country buying them up or letting his bulls out to cows. Could be good to look into. If I'm right they are a dualpurpose animal. Looking forward to seeing you get working on the forks, it's a handy wee machine for around the yard. 👍🏼

[@agoodbluewilldo8359]

Yous fly through the work together. Great to be self efficient... hope the prices stick or go up as they should be but certain Mallon men are gettin it hard to give a fair price. Prices should be up at least 50c on what they are now

[@nicklad9463]

When ye knocking down the auld shed? And the bulls horns are like the cattle in the westerns 🤣🤣🤣

[@joemcardlester]

Great video Phil, just a quick note, try and reverse the diet feeder up tight to the face of the pit. It will save a litte bit of time when loading, plus anything that drops out of the bucket will be close to the pit to tidy up.

[@LD-jk1qy]

Another quality video phil keep up the good work.

[@patdonnelly4803]

Is the diet feeder hard on the clutch of the tractor. Phil you should look at opening a mini farm and play area for kids.theres a few around where I come from and there raking in the money Be a nice follow up to the pumpkin patch

[@michaelsparke2811]

Would be good to see the 165 out on the pusher, and maybe the 590 on the straw chopper...

Hi phill time to get that massy fixed and get out of the shed and back to work love your videos how many acres do you own would you not consider going back to dairying

[@magsprettejohn2160]

I love the cattle videos, the big bulls look great. Will there be a difference in how the ones on the slats and the ones on the straw do or does that make no difference? Sorry about Dolly, such a shame but you did the right thing for her.

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

slates tend to preform better than bedded shed

[@MF12000]

Great Video Philip 👍👌

How about a update on the cow brushes Are Jersey bulls or bullocks just used to make hamburger when sold

Hi farmers Phil, Hows the MF 1200 coming along and most important hows your uncle doing i hope he plough with it . Great video as usual .

[@nsgkuaov]

Regardless of weights you can see that they are thriving , I always find that the first few weeks of feeding are always disappointing , then they start to leap out of it , think it's as my father used to say " you have to get the lining in them first" ie. You have to build the internal fat before thy put on external condition.

[@marianpradler1479]

Nice Video Phil. How much kg of buscuit Meal are getting the Finishers per Bull? If your weighing Bulls who are not full there 5% left. Sober Weight is Live Weight minus 5%

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

1.5kg a day

[@dannyjones7181]

You are right about the 5%weight difference the lighter the animal it can be a bit less and the heavier the animal a bit more! If animals are weighed first thing in the morning that is usually closer to their true weight!!

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Nice

Do you have any problems with starlings like the dairy boys always seem to? Eating all the grub from Infront of the cattle band pit? What's the big difference in feed quality of the maize and wholecrop. ?

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

yes starlings are a problem we use the bird scarer but they've started to get used to it now. maize is much higher in protein

[@edwardhill1935]

Have you tried hanging a plastic owl in the shed or sparrowhawk sound on repeat.

yes but they get used to it

[@markwaring2444]

I notice you don't de-horn or de- bud, what's the thinking behind this?

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

we dehorn some but we never get them all done. but ive found that calves that are dehorned have a higher mortality rate

[@MrShanbla]

Phil, with the diet feeder if you'd to restart the pto on a full load would she be hard on clutch packs or does it make a difference??

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

i dont think so, we used to have a 3090 on an abbey diet feeder for years and it ever damaged the pto packs but the ursus cant handle it
