I JUST COULDN'T BREAK HER BAD HABIT SO WE HAVE TO LET HER GO

[@astra1653]

I almost spit my tea out when you said you forgot to hit record! 😂 Yeah, that heat was terrible first half of August, and I know y'all aren't used to those temperatures. Here in North Texas, we hit a high one day of 118°F/47.7c, and had a hen die from heat exhaustion. Our coop & nest boxes are in deep shade, but I put up a big fan to at least keep the air moving, and give them a little relief while laying, and at night. Oh, and a paddle pool for the chickens, too. Lol, so cute to see them enjoying standing in about 3 inches of cool water that I shoved in between the hedges. They love it!

[@mandypaul7263]

I would have like to see the chickens enjoying a pool of water. sorry about the you lost.

[@astra1653]

@@mandypaul7263 thank you. They are so cute standing in their pool. 💕 They look like little ladies wearing big poofy dresses, and they're hiking up their skirts to keep them from getting wet. One in particular spends a good 6 or 7 hours in there every day! We call it "The Lagoon" lol.

[@oppamaclare]

That heifer will be picking locks in her new farm. 😁 I have a heifer here that will unhook the electric fence even when it's on. She will catch the insulated handle in her mouth and drop it to the ground. I have her on video doing it.

[@roadwarrior8560]

Trees are very important for shelter, the numpties in the Dept of Agric don't understand that looking at the satellite photos sitting in their cosy offices, they think the land is shaded and scrub land where the trees are. They don't understand that livestock need shelter and there's growth underneath the trees too.

[@michellekemp3104]

You bred one very smart cow gave herself treats and all her friends as well😂😂😂

[@theclappedoutdairy-man3507]

The heifer knowing how to work the feeders sounds more like the kind of thing Jerseys would do - smarter than the average cow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That cow who feeds herself in the parlour is hilarious! No different to horses working out how to open stable doors, some learn how to untie their lead ropes when tied up. You can workout a million different ways to try to solve a mischief maker but when you’re running a business, selling them is sometimes the best option.

[@colddiesel]

My brother in law had an Illawarra cow that learned to manipulate the lever which gave her extra feed on a new system. Interestingly she did not learn it until she was on her 5th lactation but then got the new system sorted out quick smart. The fix though, was easy

[@irishguy200007]

Wow that's funny because I thought I saw the only cow that did this with the feeder cords. It's amazing how they know not to bite the thin cords but instead use their tounge. What I saw as a solution was to put planks of timber over the cow barrier under the cords.

[@dbg9226]

Forecast for Pembroke west Wales gave rain last week as well we did not have any and still have not.Had 45mm 6 weeks ago and that is only we have had since May and no rain means no grass.Another great video as usual

The amount of multitasking you do and your incredible expertise in so many areas is a big wow factor for me.

[@purplerunner1715]

Talk about being to smart for your own good, hope that cow gets a real nice home for many years to come, she does look real healthy and good, just like the rest of the herd, so think there's a happy farmer that gets a nice cow.

get some A4 size fly sheets, stick them to both sides of a piece of ply the same size and stake that out, out of the reach of the cows, that will get rid of a lot of flies, cheap and effective.

Hi Adrian, your feeders in parlour. Did you ever see cash man electric feeder ? I have seen Air feeders and cows pushing buttons and getting feed They are a lovely clean and great for control of feed a great investment. Keep the good work up.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Seen the air version but not the electric ones, sound a good job

[@slickymick]

Hi Adrian yeah they are stainless steel and they can be controlled by individual or few more quid they can controlled by single box. There was a grant on them. But for 8 unit approx €9000-10,000 + vat. If you Google cash man electric feeder you will see images 😉 Keep the good work up

Hi Adrian I have the same problem as you I have 36 calves and every single one of them has ring worm and they've been outside for close to 4 months

[@johnmcgookin4141]

We have ringworm on our heifers outside for the first this year never seen it before starting outside

[@erwinlageschaar5550]

Extra zinc in the feed might be helpful to knock out the ringworm!

[@TerriblyNice_Not]

The shade is essential, but the back coat has no impact on it how the animals do in the hear. If you think, sure Wildebeests, Elephants and all sorts of other animals in warm climates have dark/black coats, including water buffalo. It's just not how it works. Yes dark colours absorb light (and therefore heat) quicker, but it also gets rid of heat quicker too

[@nialldaly7108]

Hi Adrian, Yes non recording on the drone, Must be a DJI, I have flown various Parrots over the last 5 years and now also have the DJI, but like that sometimes forgot to record. Tha Parrot auto records on take off, alas the DJI does not. Made a label to put on the controller called CAMERA, it helps but not foolprofe, still managed it last Sunday for a Tractor run.😁

[@Shane_O]

We had a cow that had to go into the parlour last…. Which was fine! Problem was we had a big collection yard and the cow that went in last wasn’t very good a seeing there were other cows in the yard. Dark winter evenings (alway on a Saturday night) was especially fun.…. All hell would break loose if a cow came in behind her… nightmare! 😀

Very interesting video Adrian I really enjoyed that. I’m at work here in the desert and it’s over 50 degrees in the sun. The cows here are inside most of the time and cooled with big fans and water mist/spray, there is no big trees here. Out of interest could you have raised the ropes up higher out of her reach???

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Good man, that’s serious heat 🥵. Raising the ropes would work but not worth the hassle for one cow, no others ever done that so hopefully it remains that way 🤞🤞

[@cheekymonkey666]

have you thought about raising the pullies up to the roof beams on the wall and on the apex, then just get longer ropes...
