Working At Half Throttle || Trying New Things That Don't Seem To Work

[@SEPK09]

Covid or no Covid Farmers NEVER stop working, Respect.

[@IainDonald-r8v]

I always found a hook dosing gun useless when the cow was held in the crush gate. However if you fill the race and go down dosing each one where she stands the cow in front will keep her head up when you remove the hook stopping her from dropping her head and losing product by spitting it out, I always catch the last one at the front again so that you are never dosing the one at the very front in the headlock. It’s worth trying, very speedy when you get the hang of it.

[@dronedairys7461]

That’s a good idea. Stands to sense

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I’ll try that for sure, thanks for the tip 👌

[@tony-yp6qk]

Another great video has always Adrian and family 👍

[@shaneprior]

Great job Adrian, no rest for the wicked, keep at her Lad!

[@megafabltd]

Glad you are feeling better.... nothing worse than a Prick of a headache 😂

[@padraiggeaney3167]

Good man adrian get well soon get some one in for a week or so if you can and give yourself a break to recover

[@robertrenwick9436]

Adrian, thanks for another video. Hope you are fully recovered soon. Difficult when you've got the farm to run but try and take it easy for a while. Regards

[@Canningfarms]

Aw stop got it there a few months ago for the second time and I was knocked for a week and so tired, farming hard enough as it is but has to be done no rest for the wicked great job adrian

[@annettepaterson2519]

thankyou just get better always luv videos stay safe

[@Murphycats]

So sorry you got Covid. What a mess. Hope you recover quickly. Don't over exert too soon, make sure you are really well first. Always good to see happy cows on a Sunday morning!

[@kathykraut4491]

Give yourself time to recuperate it really zaps your energy for along time.

[@brianroyle2533]

The calm and steady way that you manage your animals is brilliant to watch, my late father was a herdsman and he was the same quiet and calm never heard him say he had got an injured cow with falling or anything similar, hope you feel better soon Adrian

[@IDoAgri]

Sorry to Hear your a bit under the weather Adrian, Take it Handy 🙌

[@haggielady]

Thank you for uploading. A farmer is never off work bu.t please take care of yourself. Covid is no joke and comes back with no warnings whatsoever. We can wait, your health is more important, to you and your family especially.

[@randybutler4772]

They already look go after the clipping. Be carful w/ that COVID Adrian. I was down for two weeks w/ it last Christmas. Even after taking Paxlovid. Thank you for sharing. 🐄

[@roomullan3050]

Love the cows. Your tractor has a very smooth purr. Can’t believe the suns out lol. Hope your better soon x

[@georgiaannbicknell6129]

Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. The best is that you are out breathing fresh air. Hopefully you’ll not have rain to deal with. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Almost fully better now Georgia

[@Carey-sc8kr]

You could use a 200 litre plastic barrel as a head scoop, maybe turn upside down to keep sharp corners on the ground. It makes the job a lot easier.

[@ianhaggart1438]

Never stops.... Good work sir.. 👏. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@matthewbohan6304]

Glad to hear the angle berries cleared up Adrian. 😉 Happy days 👌 hope you get over that auld COVID, your a tough nut. 💪

[@James_Smith715]

Just goes to show, farmers still have to tent to there jobs regardless how they feel. It’s a great thing for people to see. Your animal husbandry is second to none, them cattle are a credit to you. We use fishing line here to tie off the warts/berry’s, works a treat. Them dosing guns are messy, we just add a little extra dose to compensate for it. Great video Adrian

[@brendanmctiernan7305]

Hope you get better soon

[@tomotoole7241]

The only way to blow out the lungs is lots of exercise Great video 👍

[@SEPK09]

exactly right pulling a sicky just doesn't happen

[@ToriOBrien-t5b]

Radio is a great job for cows and cattle, keeps them calm and gets them used to noise and people talking

[@boertjejanvh3696]

Speedy recovery Adrian

[@cdemo1186]

Good man Adrian, no stopping you. Get better soon.

[@rogerbasker6970]

Covid really makes it hard to get a good breath. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great day!

[@edwardoutthere3189]

Great stuff Adrian, as they would say one time your a tonic ,take care

[@dronedairys7461]

Good man Adrian. That’s a lot of hard work and you suffering from the Covid. It just shows us farmers have to keep going no matter what. Keep up the good work. See you on Saturday

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Cheers Alan

[@daithiobrien6633]

The head scoop are a great job Adrian, also for yourself try carrageen ( sea moss) to clear out your ailment, boil it up, strain it and down the hatch with a drop of milk.

[@lindarooney3833]

Get well soon Adrian and family. That covid is a hoard of a dose. Fair play to you for putting up the video and you dying with the dose.

[@marytarmey3432]

Great video Hope you're feeling better soon Hubby uses the cow in front to hold the head up but you need a bit of help😅

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Glad to hear you feeling a bit better Adrian, the old Covid is no joke having had it myself a few times. Had to laugh at the calves trying to get away on you. Its like the animals know you are feeling under the weather and decide to play up, you will be glad you have no sheep, they seem to wait to the worst time possible before acting up. 🙄

[@TheFarmerTheCheesemaker]

We’ve all been there…. Feeling like 5h1t and so you do that thing you’d never do otherwise…drive across a wet field or risk a stray heifer so you don’t have to go back again. Here’s hoping you recover fast!

[@patriciamccormack7626Teashee]

Aww gawd love you Adrian 👍🏆♥️ you're a trooper 🤗 I wish you a speedy recovery ❤

[@sandymcghee3328]

Another good video hope you get better soon Adrian 👍👍

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Adrian get well soon 👌

[@johnoc2573]

A head scoop is the job with them hook dosing guns Adrian, Id recommended Niall Barrett engineering head gate and scoop a serious job, hope you feel better soon👍

[@teresabrewer2661]

I caught it 3 weeks ago and although I was really ill for a couple of days, i started getting over that, then I caught flu, which I haven't had for 30+ yrs so now I still get tired and breathless now 3 weeks on. Get better soon ☘️☘️☘️

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I’m ok now, a bit fatigued but otherwise nearly 100% out of it. Hope you feel fully better soon Teresa

[@everestyeti]

My son had COVID earlier this year, he was rough for 24 hrs, about 2 months later he got a cold, was rough for a week and has just got over the flu which started 4 weeks ago, he must have been ill he self employed and had to take a few days off. Hope you get better soon. 👍

[@dekdek551]

Cows love the radio 📻.

[@terryatkinson899]

I wonder how many of us never got the virus 🤔 I worked every day meeting lots of people on my rounds and never got it.

[@smalldairyfarmer]

Good video hope you're feeling better now

[@jasondavies4887]

We always used the castrating bands, worked great, if you get a thin one we I would use fine baling twine.

[@michaelohaire9527]

I'd say the keltec bale shear is the one works well for me on 100 hp case with rear weight wouldn't b without it look after yourself with that flue

[@jasondavies4887]

My daughter brought covid back from school twice, didn't affect me at all, and I tested posative, the first time I had covid I actually felt better than I normally do.

[@thomasjones3946]

Good job there Adrian take care of yourself 👍👍

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Pray that you get better soon. You still have to do your work while you're sick.

[@gerrymulligan2602]

My.brother still.uses bottle dose 200.cattle good job God made plenty time

[@bockersjv]

My favourite viewing on a Sunday morning. Well done to the girls for helping you, had similar flu/Covid a couple of weeks back. Very tiring and the cough hangs about for weeks, it’s not a dry cough. You illness has not affected to usual high quality of your video 👍

[@elwynphillips3327]

Thanks for video hope your better soon.

[@padraigking5185]

Good stuff

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Adrian. Hope you are feeling better. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

Where's your sheepdog, and why isn't he earning his keep helping you with the herding? 😊

[@dannycopse8447]

Hello Adrian another great video and hope you get better soon

[@niallmclaughlin3967]

Love the videos been watching them every Sunday morning👍

[@pierceol966]

Another good one Adrian,not easy to be out working when under the weather,dont over do it if you have covid because it will catch up with you when you think you are right again,i had covid probably 2years ago now and i thought nothing of it,but about 2 weeks after it had gone i got this brutal pain in my lower back and side couldnt do anything,as it turned out it was a kidney infection which came about as a result of covid and not taking the rest when i should have ,my system was run down,mind yourself Adrian that covid is a curse👍

[@banjoboy8802]

Get well soon Adrian

[@ThomasGash-n3v]

Was at a meeting run by my veterinary practice a few years ago. One of the vets said that a head scoop was a better investment than the hook drenchers as the animals would spit some out most of the time.

[@aaronsmyth53]

I agree and also it's safer for you the farmer and easier to manage the animal

[@aaronpassmore5]

Spot on, couldn’t agree more. Even now, that’s what we’re told is the best advice as vet students too

[@philipgill4391]

Yeah head scoop is a great job

[@michaelwalsh9145]

There’s a knack in using it.

[@willyfindlay4398]

Get well soon. 😊

[@JohnButler-r2p]

Hi Adrian hope I’ve spelt your name correctly I’m compelled to watch your every video when you get a minute could you please explain drying a cow off I’ve just googled it and I’m sure others might not know what it is hope you feel better and just like to say what fantastic videos you put out your recommendations for Karen Moynihan and the sheep Shepard were spot on all the best John from Wakefield

[@brianmoynan500]

Try the easy swing cow brush like Tom pemberton they are a brilliant job very robust cows love scratching and playing with them

[@everestyeti]

Hope you get better soon, what a place to be self isolating all that lovely countrysid. Years ago I used to visit farms delivering fuel for tractors and heating, at of farmers swore by the radio apparently it relaxed them. Hope you get better soon. 👍

[@Gearoid35]

good video Adrian wishing you a speedy recovery that covid is horrible.

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

Get well soon Adrian. 👍👍❤️

[@ilovetractors40]

Get well soon and great video

[@karolschulz48]

Get well and take care of yourself. I can't have my favorite Irishman out sick! We always played country and western music for the cows. Then my brother discovered rock. That didn't last long in the barn. The girls production dropped off quite a bit. Johnny cash is better than meatloaf anytime.

[@williamwood816]

We always had radio in our tiestall barn when I was growing up One nephew still does.

[@edwardwatson6289]

Watch Sonne Farms. They have an attachment on the front of their crush to hold the cow/calf head up until they swallow the drench. Hope this helps. Hope you are soon better.

[@murraysmith6315]

The Corrs Adrian, The Corrs best thing for high bp. (Way better than Celine Dion)👍Went to their last Concert (for this tour) in Christchurch, NZ on Saturday night. Been on a high ever since! 😃

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Would you believe me if I said the Corrs are actually closely related to us! still wouldn’t listen to them 😂😂

[@murraysmith6315]

@@IFarmWeFarm🤬 Just might be the last vlog we watch of yours! 😂

[@smcg8361]

The goweil bale shear would be the simplest and easiest to use imo I’ve used them all the thats what I’ve found. Done different from the rest of them it’s very hard to miss the plastic with it

[@bertoltb13]

I hope you feel better soon, Covid has so many random symptoms.

Hi Adrain what make is the clippers? Looks a great job, great video once again

[@seantormey3531]

I hope you are feeling better soon. Take care and try to take it easy as you can to give yourself time to help your recovery.

[@liamcallaghan253]

get well soon ,,, head scoop would be a big help ,,not sure your sculling gate will let the head up high enough ,,,,hook might work with them in tight in the crush easier that the gate keep up the good work

[@mistypeppercorn914]

We invested in a head scoop for dehorning and dosing, great for putting in the calcium bullets after calving. Saves the dislocated shoulders too.

[@lesliehewson2940]

Use the cow in front as the head scoop. IE dose the animals from the back of the crush to the front. And yes you will have to hold their heads up for a bit.

[@briankiely5942]

How ya Adrian, have a hook ,turns into a weapon when cattle not corporate n ,had to give it up ,but I found after caming down to fill the shoot tight with head up and dose pac on back like school bag and boom job dune ,tins is with store beef different for you incalf cows , about the silage cutter ,I duna would it cut silage pit , be another job to justify buying wan .Good job 🤔👍🏿

[@bobuncle8704]

Adrian, sorry to hear you’ve got C. I have the same symptoms, but for me, I think it’s old age 😢 I’ve watched several folk use the same applicator, and similar results. Some cattle manage to spit a bunch back out.

[@gerrymulligan2602]

Need get crush gate keeps head up.nice Christmas present.for ya

Hi Adrian them brushes are great I'd put one in collecting yard as well

[@jamescarmody1710]

I but a blue drum under the cows to keep there heads up find it easier to catch them and stops them spitting it out gives a blue drum a job

Sometimes the old way is the best way.

[@stephenkelly2067]

Hope your feeling better soon thanks for your Sunday video

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Best of luck with everything on the farm this week ahead 👍👍👍

[@oppamaclare]

I found with the dosing hook, that you have to use the gun itself to keep the cow's head up for a few seconds. Not that easy to do. You have to sort of pull backwards and up. Did someone mention a head scoop ??? 😉

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes will have a head scoop soon, seem to be a great job

[@stubarry3206]

Maybe it’s time to think about using a contractor to do yr baling that doesn’t use netting, all our bales are just wrapped with plastic and no net , far far easier 👍👍

[@jan-berendstoker6788]

Get wel soon.

[@johnconcannon380]

If you move the hook around in the mouth they tend to keep the head up better also if you try doing them loose in the crush it seems to work better as they are pulling back when there caught with the head down

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Will try that John, 👌

[@IntermediateSolutions]

I watch some of #TWIV weekly clinical updates with Daniel Griffin. From what I understand some people should be getting paxlovid, straight away. Take it easy, some COVID infections can really take it out of you for a while. Some people have long COVID, that's quite scary. IndieSAGE have episodes on that. It's possibly similar for some cases to some cattle that get pneumonia and are left with lung scarring. I hope you make a full recovery.

[@martinregan6765]

Adrian you need a cow scoop on your crush to make the cow catcher work

Great video Adrian. Hope you get better soon..
