Hi Adrian. Great video as always. I am actually using milk replacer this year for the first year ever. I always used whole milk but this year the price of milk been so good it actually works less expensive to buy the milk replacer. How long do you keep the jacket of the calf for ? And anyone who wants a snow foam gun, my brother in law has a small engine repair shop in Cootehill and he stocks the snow foam guns along with all power washing equipment. I do buy my foam online with reflect auto care. Great foam for shining tractors and machinery.

Hi Adrian, great job and love your set up of a little shed for the job. A quick few questions, on your calves how long do you leave on teat and do you take calf off cow straight away after calving? Calves drink from bucket is a great job and I wonder if you can get an automatic calf feeder that feeds like that 🤔 Great stuff keep the good work up.
@IFarmWeFarm2 жыл бұрын
Ya calves are away from the cows as soon as the cow enters the parlour. But I do sometimes leave calves on cows for longer. The auto feeder would be all teat based for hygiene purposes. It’s more natural for a calf to suck. Bucket suits our calves that are going for sale as the customers I have love when there bucket trained 👍

Hi Adrian, love the videos only just discovered. Just a tip when feeding calves milk - it’s better to feed them with the higher teat feeders, it’s a more natural position which closed the oesophageal grove, sending milk down into their abomasum. Bucket feeding could lead to it being directed into the underdeveloped rumen where it might undergo unwanted bacterial fermentation and lead to scouring of the calf. Love the channel keep up the good work :)

When I get called in (not very often sadly) to feed the young stock I warm cool or cold milk with hot water in a bucket with milk in a separate container. When washing out a multi tub milk feeder or single milk feeders, I rinse with hot water, then slosh out with a hot water and dairy acid weak mixture and then rinse again with cold water. Over the top maybe, but it's the best guarantee I an give the calves of clean and safe milk. Dehorning/debudding, on the farms I worked on, all animals were anaesthetised first and then we had a propane gas torch piped to a large bottle. The smell wasn't too good.

Start at the very tip and work back along till you find the part. I caused mine to leak and it wouldn't seal again. I sent it back to the supplier and it took over a year to get back.

Just watching the first part of your video today has given me a huge amount of inspiration on feeding calves and how great yours look Adrian . Where I work in the mornings I feed cattle and feed calves once I finished the feeding up and that's one of my biggest downfalls just adding a dash of warm water to the milk and stirring it up . But I'm going to give your idea a try tomorrow morning when I'm back to the graft . And also use the same debudder gun as yourself here had to send it back due to a fault but the 2nd one has been no problem atall . Keep up the great work and have a great week ahead 😃👍
