A day in the life of an Irish suckler farmer with cattle and some sheep.

Landwirtschaft in irland- Rinderhaltung

[@Cooliemasteroz]

I once met an Irish farmer who thought he was entitled to a Nobel Prize because he was outstanding in his field.

[@Emma-vb7of]

Dunno why I'm watching this at 4AM love my country tho😂

[@darrencodd8798]

Me too

[@bekabeka71]

Unfortunately it’s Almost impossible for normal people to buy a land or farm in Ireland.

Great video! Keep up the good work

[@zachansford575]

[@farming390t6]

You’ve got some brilliant setups for both sheep and cows

[@VaporSlav]

On my grandparents farm we use the same feed mixture from the beginning

[@darafinnerty308]

tidy little 135.. 👌 what size tyres are there on the back??

[@paulveenings6861]

Steering with your brakes , I remember it well . 😂

[@margueriteconradie1667]

Wow this pic is striking 😊😊😊 We are just learning about how fabulous farm life is. If you have any wisdom to share for farming-dreamers, we would love to hear 😀

[@matthew945]

I remember watching this 3 years ago and the vid of you mowing in ur valtra

[@KadenKilgore]

What county are you in? I never saw that many trees when I was over there

[@JRagri]

great video !!

[@maguire5455]

Cheers lad.

[@archie598]

We have an old 135, we’re an English farm, Yorkshire, we have an old 135 with a cab but it’s very rusty, (surprised it even works) it was me grandad’s and I hope to restore it one day as I am a big fan of Masseys especially the classics, like 390T, 3000 series etc

[@aidanstokes298]

so true great video

[@wildcat22]

Haha. Always get a giggle outta chasing sheep.

Tractor Meg is that a 135 in ure profile

[@liljosh4463]

Lol trying to chase the sheep😂

[@CalvesFanatic]

Handy dehorning method. Was that a painkiller you injected the calf with? We usually use some sort of wax/cream on our calves to dehorn em.

[@maguire5455]

Local anaesthetic

[@CalvesFanatic]

AgriSpec Ah, makes sense!

[@howardwalker6456]

Another good one from you @agrispec, drone and ground footage very good. Was this shot on a Mavick by any chance? Thinking of getting one mysel any thoughts

[@maguire5455]

Howard Walker cheers, no it was shot with a dji phantom 3 standard. The drone is good in terms of battery life, performance etc but the video latency is quite annoying so id say try out an advanced or professional if they are on offer as they have light bridge which ive been told has no latency. I have no experience with a mavick but if you can afford it then go for it.

[@howardwalker6456]

+AgriSpec that's very nice footage didn't realise the DGIs were so good! Could you explain latency and would I have to worry about it on a new Mavick?

[@maguire5455]

Howard Walker Yeah sure that isn't even full quality because my laptop isn't powerful enough to edit very high quality footage. Yeah the dji phantoms are good drones but the dji mavick is more portable which would be very handy as the phantom is very awkward. The latency between when the drone is flying towards a tree for example and then it takes about a second to transmit that to the screen on the controller so you always have a lag time between something happening and you seeing it so it can be challenging to fly. the standard only has a wifi connection which is slower than the more expensive djis with lightbridge. I doubt the mavick has latency but I've never tried one to see. ID say find someone who has one and try it out because it's a big investment.

[@howardwalker6456]

+AgriSpec thanks for taking the time to give me that advice @agrispec, I'm just worried I'll crash mine have you ever had any near misses yourself?

[@maguire5455]

Howard Walker Yeah some very near misses.The mavic does have some technology to prevent forward crashes which would help

[@Fkelly1690]

you didn't show any fucking sheep on the road that had broke out of the field

[@bizzlebazzle280]

This man has some serious jets must’ve been handy at sport in he young

[@adrianmorris4560]

Jasus that's a hard way of throwing back silage, ur back with would b broke, bale splitter is the job there hi

[@maguire5455]

SkyEye Photography I dont find it that hard to do, to be honest. It only takes about 10 minutes.

[@johnobrien2207]

Roll out the bale with tractor might help?

[@maguire5455]

yeah normally we would. Its a handy job.

[@Jack--mu3gs]

Adrian Morris you must do fuck all out in the farm then lad. Hahaha. We have all the loaders and diet wagons but shoveling oul bale out is not hard

[@argonthesad]

@@Jack--mu3gs It is hard especially if it's not double chopped. I would just put a bale in front of each pen. No forking necessary.

[@sir243_simr]

that's a great view at start,where are you based in ireland

[@Bambinohead1]

the 135 is in great order. love those canvas cabs. How is she lifting those bales in summer? testing the lift

[@maguire5455]

Bambinohead1 Yeah she is in original order. Never painted. on her 3rd engine. She only does the winrowing in the summer. We don't have a third man to drive her to lift bales unfortunately.

[@garymcc5236]

great video. what do you use to edit them?

[@maguire5455]

Gary mcc I use gopro studio. But it freezes all the time.

[@raymomull2258]

All the farmers down in Carlow drive shitty landcruisers which have never been cleaned and have a speed limiter of 50 kph and didn't come with indicators as standard.

[@DarRyan123]

do u put out silage with a fork everyday bet you wont be doin that for long. looks like u love hardship.

[@maguire5455]

Darren Ryan yeah, we always have. It only takes 10mins to do. For us it would be unjustifiable to use a diet feeder and also the 135 doesn't have the capability for a front loader or the oil flow for anything like a McHale bale splitter. In any case the more labour intensive aspect is cleaning out the cattle and calves. Forking out the silage is a very small job in comparison.

[@diamondgaming9061]

AgriSpec are the bales chopped when baled as this would help when forking the bale out? great video by the way

[@maguire5455]

Ian David Thanks. no the bales aren't chopped. Our baler isnt a chopper baler.

[@b.aphotography988]

Darren Ryan that’s what I do every day

[@CORRIGEEN71]

nice 165 wheelie, farming is about paperwork to collect the money from europe in the form of single farm payment , glas and what ever is going, completely not sustainable if grant structure removed, anyway enough moaning great vid tks

[@SuperFen123]

Well if we were paid the true value of what we produce we wouldn't need grants!

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

@@SuperFen123 yeah, I have read statistics and some farmer interviews how they dont get real value out of their product, might actually get less than half of the real value. when buying stuff from store, very small amount of the money goes to farmer and expenses, and majority goes directly to the store.
