THE PERFECT FARM cows, sheep, lambing | Alan Clyde FarmFLiX

The Perfect Farm with the perfect cows. Its maybe a far fetched dream but that's the farming dream. Getting Sheds and Pens ready for the sheep as lambing has kicked off Aul Tom is keeping a tight eye on Alan.
As he puts together a make shift gate he touches on the Daft Rules for agriculture and food security has a big impact but will recent times change peoples viewpoint on farmers.
Spring is here but its looking like the machinery and tractor work will all come at once waiting on the ground to dry

We need more videos with Alan he brings that reality to farming it's real I like his videos. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Deedrum90]

Thank you guys for all the videos, as a towny that has an interest in agriculture i enjoy watching everything use put out. I wish I had of went to greenmount and learned abit about farming and cattle. And knowing this is made in Antrim makes it all the better. Keep it up guys!!!

[@alanclyde8253]

Glad your enjoying David, farming has plenty of problems but it is a passion if it's in your blood

Looking good Alen x

[@DrattedOwnz]

Just on the point regarding 'most use of fertiliser' and applying early. I'm not sure when this was filmed, but as long as ground isn't completely waterlogged (in which case you couldn't spread anyway), the fertiliser wont just disappear if you get it on early, it's always worth it to get it on early to silage or grazing ground, NPK will remain in the ground until the growth comes.

[@alanclyde8253]

Aye some of the ground wouldn't have carried tractor, drying up rightly now though and most of fert out. What's the opinion on sowing fert right before or right after spreading slurry?

[@DrattedOwnz]

@@alanclyde8253 Ah right very understandable then so. The only fert I would leave a week between is Urea. Everything else I would just get it on as is convenient.

[@shanecorcoran6922]

Put every sheep you can into the reseed Alan it thickens it up great

[@alanclyde8253]

That's definitely one thing the sheep are good for is thickening up a sward😉

The prefect cow is only as good if u find the perfect bull to use on her , if she rears a good calf every year with very few troubles, I reckon she's the perfect cow for me anyway

[@alanclyde8253]

get sheep that theres less work with if theres such a thing lol but there are sheep better than others good brown faced ewes and very good charollais ram/tip lambs born small but finish extremlly well from birth to finish 12/14 weeks with good grass and intensive lamb pellets from they are fit to eat any ewes with handle bars are a no go not unless you put them on a mountain

[@derekcartmill8311]

when is Alan going to get new tyres for the merlo

[@jerryodriscoll3691]

When he gets money to do so, beef and sheep are nearly always losing money, its more about minimizing the losses

[@aaronlennoncorcoran7042]

Great intentions to do many things😂😂 give me time I'll get there😉

[@magsprettejohn2160]

Great vid. I liked Tom's singing, did he just make that song up! It was nice to see the lambs, glad lambing is going well after a shakey start.

[@alanclyde8253]

Dear knows what song he was singing or changing to his own words😂

[@upthereds4939]

Haha cheers for putting my comment in the video lads 👍🏻 I know what “redding up” means now 🤣

[@alanclyde8253]

I'd say a lot of people didn't know😉

[@FlyingFergyMan]

“Slap an opening” comes from Ulster Scots, slap is a small opening or passage in a hedge I believe. Great videos lads keep it up.👍

[@OllieLove4255]

I'm farming just outside Ramelton in County Donegal. Ramelton was a plantation town and the local farming community many of whom are of Ulster Scots bloodlines still use the word SLAP to describe the entrance into a field. Most people in the south of Ireland use the word gap and as John mentioned in this video i often wondered did someone hear GAP wrong ,mispronounced it as SLAP and the name stuck. If you think SLAP is Ulster Scots then i'm sticking with it.

[@agrifarmingireland1604]

Are you going for the buzz cut look on the merlo tyres 🤔

[@alanclyde8253]

😂😂 one way to describe it

[@sammcdowell1447]

For this friday can you do the on the pull with the mx150 it think was in cloughmills or was in Dunloy in it I would love to just see that one and that would do me thanks in advance I love that certain tractor

[@alanclyde8253]

There will be on the pull footage at some stage🙈

[@Rab93]

We use "Redding up" here in Scotland to though here it's used to describe tidying up

[@alanclyde8253]

Aye we would use it for that term as well. A multipurpose phrase😉
