mighty to see that little has changed in 35 years ,,,,,, i spent 3 months cleaning out sheds and clipping hedges when i was sent to a "master" farmer as part of the "green cert" all those years ago .....he farmed me out to his brothers to do their sheds also ......was over qualified to use a 4 grain fork on my return home he got bed sores while i was there !!!!

[@tomdarbyshire5348]

God you sounded like your dad when you were mucking pen out! You're a credit to him mate. Lovely to see how well you pair work together! Have a good Christmas mate.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Tom Darbyshire thanks man :) really respect my dad so nice to hear little things like that. Have a great Christmas!

[@keffa11]

Went to Harper myself. Remember the days playing rugby then going to the Phes. Awesome time, incredible college. Sandy alstrom? was awesome. Wish I could do it again. Love the Channel Also Tom. Wish I could get back into farming.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Great vid Tom, shows the farming side that’s never seen or noticed. Good to see the care of the cattle is a priority. Excellent work.

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Trevor Jarvis I’m trying to show all the little bits that happen on the farm also, thanks Trevor as always 😀

[@lindenbergers]

It's so good to see you have some young help on your hands oh, I bet it makes everything just to tad easier. I can't wait for the dad chat bring it on!

[@benjaminbauer4883]

Tom when you said I just bought you a new loading shovel. That made me think of a story of my grandfather he bought fern hocks for all his children to control the ferns in his dairy pasture in Australia Thanks for the video Tom

[@Tom-gr6nx]

excellent video tom great work from the two lads all your cows always look so happy and lively.

Tom 30 thanks Tom means a lot, we love our cows so really love comments like this!

Grand video again, want to buy a petrol leave blower, much better job than a brush and quicker, and your more inclined to use it than brushing by hand , keeps the place real smart and tidy !! Thanks again Tom cheers

[@garethsinnamon4401]

Hello tom, I use an old silage knife to cut old beeding up into squares. It is easier to fork out.

[@MaccaMan08]

If you ever want a hand you can always give me a shout! I'm starting at Myerscough in September and looking to get all the experience I can. I live in South Ribble, Preston. So never too far away! :)

Funny to watch Tom definitely a miniature Ginger you could see the frustration having people working for you it made me chuckle . Keep the videos coming and Happy Farming

[@seancorrigan717]

It's actually satisfying seeing the calve shed being cleaned out on timlapse

[@nickflipsen9533]

This video makes so much sense to me, the getting behind sometimes and then you do one hard saturday of mucking out and moving up and everything is so much cleaner and better again. Greets from Holland Tom! (ps, a tobroco giant wheelloader works really good for mucking out the pens. But I know that money does not grow on the trees in farming!)

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Nick Flipsen That is it... just 3-4 hours of mucking out and your back on track again

[@dougpeterson5257]

Cleaning out the stalls reminds me of being young and doing the same. Interesting smells sometimes depending how long since the last cleaning.

[@devrabiallas1292]

great to see you got extra help! I was watching sasdutchkid's channel the other day and with their calves, they have a cool method. As one is born and brought to the calf barn it is put in the first pen to the left, then the next one is in the 2nd pen and so on, so when they go to move them they know which are the oldest and it seems to make things go real quick...just something I thought I'd pass on.

[@markturney8276]

Nice wee calf shed, great video as always

I prefer a bib and brace with a jacket rather than an all in one boiler suit, then when you get all hot and sweaty you can at least take the jacket off. And if anyone is still wearing their jacket by 10 in the morning they aren't working hard enough!

I use to work on a farm in Hertfordshire I wish it was like yours, where you have the single and double pens I had a massive barn whole thing having straw on layered up bedding, one winter the tractor broke so we couldn’t scrape put so ended up with a fork and a wheelbarrow that was a very very long day

Will and Henry what are they majoring or studying at University and where do they see themselves in five year and work pile up when you are short handed.

[@tommawle8896]

Hi Tom, another great vid. I’m an ex Harper student (2003) milking 2100 cows in Methven NZ with my twin brother on two 60 bail rotary units. We rear 600-700 calves each year and would be very keen to give an ag student in the UK the chance to experience calf rearing as well as general dairy farm work on our place. Calving kicks off in mid July next year and work would run until mid October or later if required. We can pay for their flight over and provide accommodation. There is also the option to continue work for a silage contractor November onwards or go traveling. Does Will or Henry know anyone or two who might be keen for that position? Keep up the great work!

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Tom Mawle You might be better contacting Harper Adams uni, they have loads of people doing gap years that would snap the opportunity up in a second. It sounds great

[@andywilkinson3792]

@@TomPembertonFarmLife i did more off that than tractor driving. Well did loads loader work and tractor driving. We had a j.c..b telly handler and a Murlow. Have to say sorry about my spelling. When you are on the farm from 8 years old didn't do much school. Just couldn't get anuf off the farm work. Running sheep cows . And pigs. And Turkeys at this time of year. Do the farming in the day then killing turkeys at night until 12 at night. Go home get bit off rest and be back at 6.am do it all again. But u got to get on the fork and get in to it keep fit. That's one thing u don't have to pay for when you do that on the farm. But that's the only thing you get free. L.o.l
