Letting the cows and calves out When a simple job goes wrong

[@125sm3]

Well , keeping cows saves on gym membership to keep fit 😂 , also with that combination of gates i would end up shutting myself in let alone the cow's lol. Have a great Easter weekend Farm P & family.

[@FarmerP]

125 SM We certainly got the run around with this young chap. So much for a simple job 🥴

[@arlenegariepy8957]

Well like a proper farmer you all have had your excersize today. LOL ;) :) Good job Abbi Henry and Farmer P!!! :) :) Time for tea and a nap. :) :)

[@jamesspiker6024]

I think that red cow is the ring leader of that bunch .

[@martinseward3798]

The 10 minute job, there's always that one cow that shatters that dream.

[@bobuncle8704]

Noe that was pure entertainment right there

[@ourllamacalmerfarminfrance239]

I thought my llamas could be difficult at times, but.....😂

[@FarmerP]

Llama Chris If they never tried us Chris, life would be dull.... Enjoyable, peaceful, painless..... but dull. 😄

[@ourllamacalmerfarminfrance239]

So true

[@FarmerP]

So, anyone notice all the calves destroying the electric fence at 1:40 ?

[@daledenotter6398]

out and back in again . was their any fence left?

[@FarmerP]

Dale Denotter Only after I put it all back again, they snapped the wire..

[@ChrisComp]

Lol sounds like our cattle. Always that one or 2 that goes into machine gun mode while bawling hahahah

[@gerardrhondashouldhavewonk7641]

Hi famer p my name is Gerry from cork Ireland your progream is just as good as the funky farmer happy Easter farmer p

[@FarmerP]

Gerard Rhonda should have won Kelleher Thanks Gerard, Richard is a top bloke, We are the same but different. He is a 100% professional farmer, where I can only claim about 50%. I’m glad you enjoy what we both do sir. 👍🚜🐂😄

[@karlmedina5241]

Should have had the bendy hill theme playing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@FarmerP]

Karl Medina I have got it, but copyright rules stop me from using it sadly. 😕

[@karlmedina5241]

@@FarmerP that was supposed to say benny hill!. I know copyright laws, huh. If it had the tune and was played at 2x speed it would have gone viral😀. I watch quite a few of the UK farming channels but I must say, yours is the most entertaining by far, you don't f**K about you do what you do, and if I may say, you do it well. And trying to teach pink how to drive the mustang, most men would have last their rag, but you did it correctly, you had patience, was firm about what to do, but made it fun, if you pushed too hard when she was struggling she would have given up in a strop, but you did well, and she's picked it up a treat. I have 2 daughters and they can be testing, but you, like me, have realised the best way to deal with it. And your daughters (just from what I've seen) are a credit to you.

[@sir243_simr]

Letting out new calves with electric fences always goes wrong... I know from past experience.. They just not used to it all.....

[@FarmerP]

ss ri Only one way to learn that lesson... ⚡️🐂

[@bobpaterson1845]

Doesn't matter how much plannin u put into lettin cows out summin bound to go wrong 🤔😂

[@FarmerP]

Not usually a problem Robert, but this time... Someone upstairs required a laugh at my expense 🧖🏽‍♂️🤡

[@bobpaterson1845]

Glad u realise I'm on a higher plane 🤔🤣🤣

Robert Paterson Only until the pilot says “Bombs away” Robert... ✈️🤕... 😄👍

[@bobpaterson1845]

🤔😮🤣🤣

[@casto-]

What do they say about working with animals and kids?!?😂😂. Well you can't win em all

[@FarmerP]

Casto I would have it no other way Casto. 😄

[@casto-]

😂😂i'll remind you of that next time!!

[@jasonmushersee]

it'll be nice to have a break from filling round bale feeders

[@FarmerP]

jasonmushersee Too bloody true, but I’m glad we still have a few dozen left over, might need them this Summer? I hope not, but we might.🤔

[@stagmite11rs68]

Happy Easter 🐣

[@FarmerP]

stagmite11 RS Thank you, Same to you... 🐣

[@alistairclement4239]

other peoples mishaps, are such fun to watch.

[@FarmerP]

alistair clement I agree, it’s not all fairy tale good living... sometimes a lump of 💩 is just going to slap the fan.... repeatedly 😄

[@willmoore3790]

Suckled calves are always bastards to deal with we have the odd one in with hand reared ones they would follow me to the moon but the suckled ones never . I think I would have left him there till he was hungry or until mum was looking for him

[@FarmerP]

will Moore I know exactly what you mean Will. Remember theThelwell pony cartoons? That’s the horsey version of Dexter cattle, if they can be naughty, they will.

[@ytwillcaseyt3270]

6;44 lol nice vid

[@MrMjdi]

I know all too well. Every year a fence or two gets it when the young stock go out. Great to have them out though.

[@FarmerP]

Michael Irwin We are all better off with them outside on a bit of doctor green.

[@neusac4590]

Quite vocal your lot. They sound pissed, perhaps because you didn't let them out too. 😡🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂😉

[@FarmerP]

Neusa C The other cattle, or most of them are off to our other farm, next day if plans come together. Another chance to get run ragged. 😳

[@neusac4590]

@@FarmerP Ohhhhh I wasn't aware there was another farm. It was still good to watch. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍

[@FarmerP]

Neusa C Yes I keep some of my stock at my fathers farm 9 miles away, I use 14 of his 240 acres. We took eleven animals over this afternoon.... video to follow when I get some edit time in.

[@colmkennedy3109]

An interesting video 😛

[@FarmerP]

Colm Kennedy Well,it was honest Colm, Great uncle god decided to have a laugh at my expense by whispering in the calf’s ear.... “No, go the other way”

[@FSFS-px6os]

Hello, the Good you have technique, have us in Siberia(Novosibirsk) (Russia) there is such a technique,but very costly pity comfortable but costly!And spare parts at all prices space!

[@acefrehley3797]

NEXT TIME TAKE GATES WITCH GO INTO THE GROUND IF YOU WANT TO OPEN THEM. IT GOES A LOT FASTER. AND IT CAN BE ELECTRIC. THE NOICE THE COWS MAKE. IT LOOKS LIKE AN AIR SIRENE !!!.

[@philbleasdale2106]

No such thing as simple when dealing with livestock. I had a runnin with a group of ewes and lambs on my own the other week would they go were I wanted them!!. The Joy's of farming!!

[@FarmerP]

Bloody sheep, they do it to me all the time.... on purpose!

[@georgedoorley5628]

when i letting cows and calves out of the yard i try to have them bunched up and i am behind them and drive them out so that the calves donot become seperated ....does not always work and can end up with a job just like u got today ......i have a small paddock thats the first place they go so if u have to get them back in to rejoin the calf or calves that are left behind its not too big of a job ......bucket reared calves are so much more civilised ..........you would rear a lot in those fine sheds

[@FarmerP]

George Doorley Everything you say is correct George, we could have done it better, in my defence though it’s never gone this bad in twenty years. In hindsight, I should have had my mind on the real job in hand rather than trying to be clever recording it.

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

Bloody cattle!

[@FarmerP]

SeaSpirit4 seaspirit Never a dull moment though 🐂😄👍

[@photosbychristensen]

Cattle is like a female hard to control and they mouthing at you all the time

[@06Wolfy]

Always the simple things that go wrong mind you they do say dont work with animals or children so it was against you

[@FarmerP]

Wolfpack0608 As Abbi said, moving stock is like pushing water, you must work as a team. Henry bless him is still a novice stockman, but he is Keen and willing to get stuck in which is all I can ask for while he learns the ropes. That calf though...... little bugger🐂🤬

[@06Wolfy]

yes it was certainly a fiesty little sod still miss the farm job though dont miss sheep lol@@FarmerP

[@christymarlow9539]

You must live in a bad part of the country because you are always worried about trespassers, where I live you could put 20 pounds on the ground and it would be there when you come back

[@acefrehley3797]

P YOU ARE ONE. ORE TO OF: "THE YOUNG ONES." AND ABBI IS A LADY !. SHE CANT BE CLIFF.

[@tipperaryger2241]

Too many bloody gate's farmer P

[@FarmerP]

I know it looks a bit complicated, but I designed a system that gave me the ability to move or separate animals on my own. All my girls work full time, in fact Abbi regularly pulls a twelve hour day at this time of year, so it’s usually muggins on his own, this system of gates enables me to handle stuff gently and calmly.... “usually” This young calf was having nothing to do with calm or gentle today.

[@daledenotter6398]

@@FarmerP never have to many gates and pens
