Having seen a bull turn bad, you are absolutely right to say goodbye to Nigel. Keeping folk safe is essential. Thanks for always showing us how it is.

[@julietarpey4216]

Nigel did his job whilst you had him so don’t have any regrets. Farm safety is priority 1. Have a great weekend everyone ❤

[@sam-P90]

Wise decision Tom if in any doubt. Can't risk the safety of your team. Have a great weekend all at Pembertons

[@sharonm3677]

The new boy on the farm is sure a handsome fella. He seems like he’s calm and confident, hope he stays that way and serves the herd well. I love how all the cows come to greet you and get a scratch. You were the first channel I started watching and I couldn’t get over how friendly the cows are with you, always wanting a scratch or licking you as we’re trying to video. Lol. Oh the joyful education you have provided me over the years has been wonderful. Thank you Tom. ❤❤

[@robertmacleod4058]

I have a saying: "The life you save will be your own". Especially true when there are multiple people working on the farm and visitors to boot.

[@andythomas2125]

Completely right 👍🏻 put myself between a cow and AI when she went for him. Ended up assisted over the feed barrier 🙄 told the AI not to bother with the straw and the cow was off for burgers soon after that. Not worth the risk once you're uncertain- you act different around one and the rest pick up on it

Neptune was such a docile beast, still miss videos of him. Sorry to hear Nigel hasn't worked out. I remember videos of you walking up to Neptune to do whatever and he was never bothered.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

He was a good bull Neptune ☺️

[@trippinggauntlet4520]

I was gutted when he hurt his shoulder and after Tom gave him some rest, it was still an issue. The clock was ticking after that, as much as you get attached and care for them you have hard decisions to make.

[@dmagil01us]

@trippinggauntlet4520 I was so hoping Neptune would of recovered, he really was a gentle giant.

[@mariaparker7545]

I remember when you got Nigel and he was so small compared to Neptune... I'm glad you showed your appreciation for all his hard work... ha ha....

[@beakacalek3765]

I really like the look of your new bull. And he does look quite laid-back. Pray he stays that way. as long as it makes you happy and the cows happy you can’t beat that.

[@bobuncle8704]

Gotta do what you gotta do, Tom. As you said, safety first. Interesting how the last two were of the same lineage, but had such different personalities.

[@Lancaster786]

Nigel, you came to Lancaster, yesss, you must come round for a coffee next time, shout me out, keep up the good work and uploads 👊🏽

[@meghanplamondon8639]

The Dominator might not be busy at the moment because Nigel might have gotten all the ladies caught up by the time he arrived. I think you made a good call on changing out the bull, because if you were not safe around Nigel, strike one. Strike two might also be that his calves were too large, but you have to consider that his offspring can inherit his personality and you certainly don’t want that. That could be strike three. Good call Tom. Just think how you would have felt if your dad had gotten hurt from Nigel and you had the chance to swap him out. No question about it. ❤

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

💯💯💯

[@jonp840]

I always remember Vinnie, one of my uncles dairy bulls. Near the end he went a bit mad. They got rid of him after he kicked through a breeze block wall! Glad you didn't let Nigel get to that point, not worth it

[@llen3906]

I have loved those candies for years, always have some...Boston

[@rsh793]

Good you shared this - people get a shame on when this happens but it's always safety first

[@ippaku]

Always hard to let a good animal go. But safety is important and comfort is important. I hope the new bull works out and I guess we’ll see you in a couple of months either way. Wishing everyone a wonderful happy cow weekend. Be well be you

[@stephenrowlands843]

You need to connect the trailer brake lanyard to the tow bar using the clip in a hole made for it, not just over the ball as you did. I used to do the same until I was advised of the correct way!

[@jonathanmormerod]

When I was a kid, my cousins had 2 bulls. Pal was a sweetie and had his own stall with the cows. Rascal lived in a concrete bunker with half inch thick steel doors between the indoor & outdoor sections. Bulls will be bulls.

[@robertamccarter4573]

It looks like he’s taking his Que from the other cows. The girls are all calm and listening to your every word. He is pulling from their reactions to you.

[@petereriksson1390]

I like your thinking about the Bulls and Nigel, the safty first thinking can make a small space betwinn saftey and a accident! As you correct say: You can never trust a Bull, so the right Bull, safety thinking and a hell of respect, thats can save your day/life! Respect from Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe 😊😊😅!

[@timwithers2027]

You’re doing the right thing. Bulls are too big they may not be nasty but they’re so powerful being strong willed/stubborn they are capable of so much damage

[@puirYorick]

The bigger/stronger any livestock is the more it needs to be predictably well-behaved. RIP, Nigel. You served long enough.

[@glencarter4697]

I worked on an A.I site and we were never aloud to let a Bull push.... as as soon as they start moving you physically with their head you are in danger. Well done Tom, good decision, there is bound to be a farm that can use Nigel.

[@alextanner5372]

Tom I have been re-watching some of your old videos, will you do another day in the life of a farmer, to show how much your day has changed, if it has changed at all

[@nickdehnel6496]

Yes the fruit drops are definitely a treat from grandmas in the UK. Living in the US managed to find a shop on Amazon that ships them from the UK

[@elainegoodchild9897]

Wow, those sweets brought back so many memories. My grandparents always had those tins in the cubbyhole in the car. Greetings from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦

You did what you needed to do re: Nigel! He did a great job for 4 years, but ease of mind and safety's most important. The new guy is pretty cute- nice hair style! reminds me a bit of a Bison.

[@valleyviewacres9120]

Ive dealt with a lot of bulls through my years. the only way the farmer/rancher gets a long with his bulls is that they never figure out how big they are. As soon as they realize they got more power in their tail than we posses in grand total the jig is up.I saw him giving you side eye during your TB troubles.Not that hes what Id consider a killer. but every killer I've needed to get rid of started like Nigel. He's got what I like to call a "light trigger" easily worked around in a ranch setting. But you are a different situation and you need your cattle to be pretty easy going because of the amount you handle your cattle.

[@Iris_Germany]

Hi Tom, thanks for showing the reality 👍🏻 and because you‘re caring for your staff Nigel had to go. And congrats to the new one! Love ❤ and greetings from Germany

[@shawnh8754]

Calving ease isn't all about size. It's importantly about the shape of the calf, too. Square, blocky heads/shoulders cause issues. Bullet shaped calves come out easily. Hopefully he throws good shape. Hopefully, your new bull fills out and shows his full growth potential for farm shop offspring.

[@jakesbel8237]

We had those for sell in the US at our military commissary, they came in at Christmas. We didn’t get any this year, my 13 year old grandson was very upset it was the 1st time he hasn’t got any in his Christmas Stocking since he was 5. The price on Amazon is crazy, it’s easy quadruple or more than last year about $15 tin can. He loves Cherry favor ever since, I get 3 or 4 tins for Valentines Christmas, and birthday.

[@moreta_kitty]

Those candies are definitely a thing in Canada. My grandmother used to always have a 10 in her purse, especially when we used to go out shopping.

[@2bzyblack]

I could listen to Ed talking all day….. dreamy voice.

[@ktm594]

Same in Ireland with the granny sweets. We call a first calver a springer or a heifer until second calf.

[@Benjaminduduu]

Thank you for sharing!❤ Loved the jersey cows in the video, such a pretty cattle breed!

[@kirenjattan9885]

My paw owns Australia's biggest Angus meat provider to Mac Donald's and Hungry Jacks. His got atm 460 cows,heffas,52 calf's, and 160 bulls. 11 bulls are nervous, and we have one of my paws' favourites that will end u if u go in his area. We only keep them till 18 months, then off to slaughter. But paw said the nervous bulls go to slaughter first😂. Vets are too costly to come to his property. It's 4 hours by helicopter in outback Queensland Australia. I ❤ your channel. I wish I could film my paws business, but Mac Donald's has said no filming at all. Because the meat industry is a touchy subject.

[@Murphycats]

Another good looking bull for the farm. Hope he does his job well.

[@HammieNL]

Yep those sweats where/are also a thing in the Netherlands, love those! 😊

[@rosaavila1067]

Hi Tom. Love your videos. This one was a bittersweet but as a farmer you know whats best. The Dominator is like wow ,he seems calm and cool and the girls are just checking him out like whos the new boy in town lol😊. Great video. Have a blessed day. Your farm is growing. Stay blessed greetings from Milwaukee Wisconsin the cheese land. USA.

[@julianporter6929]

I worked with many different types of bulls and I never had any issues with them as the first bull I ever had contact with was a Jersey bull that never liked the farmer or the vet and I was thrown into the deep end when he became lame but because I used to feed him every day with hay and a scoop of cow cake he was always fine with me and I was just eight years old when I gave him an injection which the vet or the farmer could never do themselves with the Jersey bull as long as you provide an escape route when handling a difficult bull you will always be safe as I have worked with dairy bulls and beef bulls over a 40 year period in farming.

[@JohnSmith-xi3sq]

Agreed, I dealt with a few bulls when I was young & learned that it is all about respect & having safe ways to handle them.

[@marjoriebell4956]

[@darrenblattner2508]

Animals can tell when your afraid of them, we had one bull like Nigel, My Dad and a fence post had a talk with him one day and all was good after that. We kept our bull in the barn over winter and always combed and scratched them which is why we never had any issues. In your case you can't do that but occasionally you could, they do like curry combs. Keep Smilin

[@PuFFerTV98368]

The sweeties are universal, I had them in my car for years in the Netherlands. Only thing is that in hot summers you could end up with one massive sweetie 😂

[@hughmarcus1]

Right decision Tom. My dad died an old man 2 years ago, but I still vividly remember when I was in my teens, he was nearly killed by a Friesian bull we had. We were moving a batch of cows & calves on the road & for some unexplained reason he literally pushed my dad through a hedge. It happened in a second. I had a bike & managed to run forward & push the bike in front of the bull as he went in for a second charge. It gave my dad enough time to get away. The following day they were TB testing & as my dad let the bull out of the crush he went for him again catching him in the ribs. But for my uncle (who was helping) giving the bull a good slap with a stick near the eye he’d definitely have killed my dad. I’ve never been entirely comfortable around any bull since. You never know the moment 😩

[@ghostlylover99123]

I saw a couple of your Angus's a couple of days ago, and they bellowed at a fat beagle! 😂😂😂😂

[@paulf4424]

I had that with a ram, always looking over your shoulder waiting for him to run at you with his head down and horns ready. But a bull with all that power, you wouldn't stand a chance. Good decision tom.

[@hughmarcus1]

A bad ram can be dangerous too. I’ve been tumbled mid field by a ram because I’d forgotten the bugger was behind me. I’ve also been hospitalised by a ram who got frisky in the race & got me on the knee. 😩

Good luck with the Bull. He looks chill but don't get complacent around him.

[@paulluke3283]

Don't feel bad , these things have to happen, you can't put a price on safety. When I was on the farm we had a massive Holstein Friesian , soft as a brush but got old and had to be replaced. His young replacement had myself and the boss's son in law , 6ft plus and built like a brick outhouse , a ruby player , launched over an electric fence , he had to go Tom , fortunately there were a few of us so we got away without any real injuries but it could've been so much different. Good luck with him !!

[@meghainn2010]

Farm safety is key. The first farm I worked on at the fine age of 11/12 back in the 90's the farmers wife wouldn't let me be in the holding area if the bull was in there even if I had a stick

[@mevinson]

Here in Michigan, we were having 'Bull Performance" problems. Way too many 'open' heifers and health problems, so, we decided several years ago to go with artificial insemination and are so glad we did, 90+% calving made A.I. a no brainer, I don't foresee ever returning to anything other!

[@BigTader]

Great video Tom hopefully the new bull will not be a mean bull. Hope your wife and baby boy are doing well. May God bless you and your family and farm.

[@deereating9267]

Whole Jersey milk makes the best ice cream. Our last bull hated my dad but loved me and followed me like a puppy. Bulls can get funny ideas and suddenly change their demeanor. We'd change ours out every few years to avoid inbreeding anyway, but as they got older they'd get (like all of us, I suppose) a bit of a funky attitude.

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

Tom we run 1500 Angus a year and 3500 Bison, we have some big a$$ range bulls. We handle them on horseback, with squeeze cuts, and as little as possible. Good fences and horses are a must, if you want a calm bull get a Charolais

[@stevewareing8525]

Great video Tom, sorry you had to let Nigel go but your reasoning was sound. I recall years ago at a farm I used to visit to fish the river that ran through it had an incident with their bull called "Old Ben" He broke several ribs on their stockman. Not that he was violent and charged him far from it, he was so placid he actually fell asleep in the shed and leaned against the stockman who unfortunately was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Over a ton of bull-v ribs is no contest. But here is the kicker, while the stockman was off convalescing the bull behaviour changed like it was actually missing him. 🤔.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Ouch!!

[@chuckhenry5487]

Tom,I have been using bulls for 45 years. I have found that the best,and safest way to manage bulls,is to have at least two if not three bulls.they will not bother about you,because they are always focused on their rear,looking to see if one of the other bulls are about to challenge them.

[@davidellis279]

I worked on a farm as a youngster many years ago,they only had a dozen or so cows and one bull,he was purchased as a calf and brought up on the farm,we handled and petted him on a daily basis and what a gentle lad he turned out to be,he had no fear of us whatsoever and would walk slowly over to us for a scratch,I’m not sure because it was so long ago but I think he would visit other farms to do his duty which I didn’t know what they were talking about because I was so young,what a gentle animal who actually seemed to enjoy being around people. I left the farm never saw him again but I’ll never forget how gentle he was,he loved a scratch it was the highlight of his day,well that’s what I thought.
