So happy that a family member of Neptune’s is coming home! They all looked nice but... Welcome Nigel!

Can’t call him Nigel 😂😂 He’s a bull, not an accountant.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Hahahah 😂

[@WS-ij1fu]

Nigel as a boy's name is pronounced NYE-jel. It is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and the meaning of Nigel is "champion".

[@yadayada752]

I like the name. It is also an N, so Neptune - Nigel

[@ingeborgm6147]

@@WS-ij1fu Great name for the bull replacing the Mighty Neptune!

[@sockstyson7348]

I'd also rename this bull to something more rugged sounding. Like Chuck or Attilla. Haha

[@valleyviewacres9120]

I remember the very first bull I ever bought. I had enough beef cattle in the herd that even though I was probably 14 or so dad said "Its time for either buying feed or buy bulls" I decided to buy the bull. Was a nothing special bull to breed heifers. turned him out and he literally did what Neptune did. threw out his shoulder. crazy thing about him is he'd pop it back in be fine one day than lamer than a three legged dog the next when he poped it back out. Course you need a good bull all the time so he went to the market and I received pennies on the dollar for him. Should've bought feed......, LOL

[@suelyons531]

This was fun to watch. Nigel is going to love his new life at PF!

[@alwinholdenbobbett1049]

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Would you not rather have a bull who is not related to any of your calves and cows? or do you not keep any cabs on for yourself?

[@TomFizz16]

Ripper bulls, very even across the top line. Good depth in the barrel, all young so rear end will fill out quite a lot with a few more months on him. Few yrs ago I was in your area on an Agri study tour from Australia. Wish I knew about your channel back then. Your cattle in UK are much more muscle content . Different market I suppose. But can’t go wrong with any of those bulls. Would have been happy to put any of them across my herd

[@staceyrashkin2609]

Question. Does the new bull get tested for fertility before the purchase is finalized? Is it even important? Just curious about what happens if the new bull ends up firing blanks.

I think Nigel is a great name, a lot of BS comes out of him and maybe David knows this also. ;)

[@TJMack-]

@@ajc5479 You may have a point about the other Nigel, but c'mon, an Aberdeen-Angus bull named Nigel - that's just plain insultingly wrong! Should be Hamish, Alec, Murdo, Malcolm, whatever - definitely not Nigel!🤣

[@Hoosier60]

Nigel will love his life at Pemberton Farms once he gets accustomed to his new surroundings. Love that a relative of Neptune is coming to the farm. No question that the ladies will love him!🥰😂 Couldn’t see the back end of either bull very well. Boris looked taller and maybe a bit friendlier. Nigel’s build looked more squat…giving him that solid Angus look.👍👍

[@pumperswife2248]

Awesome news. Glad to see you will once again be breeding again. Maybe you can name one of Nigel’s offspring Neptune to keep his memories alive.

[@peskycitizen7582]

I liked the idea of naming one of Nigel’s offspring Neptune and then I realized it would end up a steer in the farm shop.

Your Dad has a very good philosophy. I was taught at college you needed to replace often yet I’ve since come to think you much better off with your dads way keeping some profit in the job.

Are you allowed to rename a bull ? So far it’s ‘Johnson’ or ‘farage’ and you’ve gone for ‘farage’ . Give him a Pemberton name pls

[@BusyBMN]

Congratulations! He looks great! Will you keep any of Neptune's heifers and do any 3/4 Angus experiments with Nigel for the farm shop? It seems like your shop is busier and busier. It might be nice to keep a couple of meat-only breeding cows. I am sad about Neptune, but SO EXCITED to see Nigel's personality unfold! 😍

[@cindyrissal3628]

It wouldn't matter if the new one was a relative in as much as he can still sire calves. He doesn't have to be a relative to be fertile. What you might expect w/ a relative would be similar confirmation & temperament & similar types of calves. I think they're going back to the same breeder bc they like the type of calves Neptune was throwing & they want his replacement to sire similar babies.

Why do you choose angus just wondering

[@chipum2fleming228]

3 1/2 years ago the first video of yours came across my KZbin recommendations, it was about picking Neptune for your farm, I hate that he hurt himself I felt kinda close to him as he was the one that brought me to you guys. I am gladdened that Nigel was chosen, he is of the same stock, and if he gets half the size and shape of Neptune he'll still be an awesome bull. So many of your videos take me home in my mind, we never had a huge farm, but we had 10 or so Charolais that were all descended from one original cow, and whatever bull she found when she managed to break free of her pastures fences. This was not so easy as it was 3 miles to the nearest Home, and they didn't raise cattle. Thanks for taking me back to where I came from.

[@ourv9603]

A Farmer takes delivery of a new prize stud bull. The bull is released into the pasture & the bull goes to work on the herd. After servicing half the herd, the bulls eyes roll back & he staggers over & collapses under a big shady tree. Concerned, the farmer calls his vet. The vet examines the bull & gives the farmer a bottle of pills. He tells the farmer to give the bull 1 pill each day. The farmer does so & the bull jumps to its feet & runs out and services the rest of the herd. When the farmer was asked what was in the pills he said : 'Dunno fer sure, but, they tasted like peppermint.' !

[@trig5454]

Do you look at EPDs (Estimated Progeny Differences) or other measured/tested genetic indicators? I am from Canada and always want to know the EPDs before using a bull. Do you have a different genetic measurement system? "Eyeballing" a bull can tell you a lot but will not always tell you how the calves will turn out.

I would have went with 52 he was my first choice as he walked up and also he isnt related to any of the other cattle on the farm at this point so that would remove that worry but 54 was also a good bull

[@butchknapman3939]

Great video from start to finish good change of scenery. Interesting en route conversation. For me it was between 52 & 54 , both up to the trough first , were not spooked by the noise of the trough being hit, at that point 54 took it for me he took handling better. Then you went into the detail of his makeup still 54. I hope your mum’s car returned home without too many scratches. Good to see you on some downtime a weekend away

[@bramteurlinx2289]

Why did you choose a bull which is related to neptune instead of choosing for fresh blood? Since now Neptune's daughters will breed with their own family right?

[@seanmurphy5768]

We’re not dairy we’re a beef farm so we have lots of bulls and steirs but we had a Angus bull he was absolutely massive he weighed 910 kg and he was only 19 moths old but he was so friendly and he literally got bullied by cows like 400kg Angus breed are great still never trust a bull always be careful around them

[@jamesbowens60]

Tom, your videos should be shown to young or new farmers, as you always pick a nugget of information up. You were looking at the bulls thinking meat production. I was thinking temperament. Is the gap between Neptune and Nigel far enough back if they sort of cousins? Another great video guys 🐃

[@believeinyourself7511]

Cherish your Father!!! How much does a bull like Nigel cost?

[@karolschulz48]

Can you do a video about why you breed dairy cows to a beef bull? Also why you really do not respect having a bull in the pasture (especially a Angus) they can be the nicest bull in the world and still gore you. I have friends who have lost their father that way and have seen it done to a family member. You really need to remind people of this in your videos because right now the way it looks is so dangerous.

[@vidarenerud5317]

We had a terrible incident here in Norway a few days ago. Father and son were killed by some bulls when they were about to move them to new pasture

[@johnmartin-sg7cv]

Great video again. I would have picked the other one (cant remember its name) only because the blood lines are different. Is Nigel not closely related to Neptune? Not sure if it matters as it is distant but new blood lines surely would be better.

You have a closely related bull coming and he breeds the heifers from the other one it is going to be genetics that maybe undesirable from related breeding not working out. Is the goal to turn a dairy into a beef herd and do away with the dairy end? A.I. is the safe way with more variety of genetics, any breed and oodles of choices.

I am sure any Bull would be pleased to hear, from a potential Buyer, about their meat value - not their breeding potential.
