Fair play to Nicole on her drone shots, there's a career in that, takes a fair amount of skill I imagine

[@jimmy.....9446]

Great camera work from Nicole . She’ll be able to keep an eye on you now. Keep up the good work 👍

[@TB-nh4dg]

Thanks again Adrian, warp speed mowing is the future and great job on the drone Nicole, fantastic footage, captured the subject brilliantly!

[@bernardcasey1500]

Well done to Nicole great job with the drone they reason why you still have the docks is because the seed is still in the slurry from last years silage and you spread olit out on the ground again it mite take a while to get them gone ..once again great video and nice to see your calves doing good again 👍

[@johnmcintyre800]

Yes and they gone to seed ad he cutting them again

Great Drone work

[@thomasdeevy6541]

Mowing great

[@EoghanCasey5713]

Some vid Adrian keep up the content

[@chucklesx]

The fresh crop of docks could be coming from seeds in your slurry. They are a difficult pest to get rid of completely once they get into the system.

[@rogerbuoy8418]

My mother used to keep a bottle of Kaolin and Morphine, if you were in a really bad way you'd get s spoonful of that, tasted vile but it'd put you straight. I wasn't sure if it was still around, but googled it, and it is.

[@jamesjohnston1007]

Great video Adrian tidy spot

[@rickywest57]

Lovely set of calves you’ve got there. Would you not make any Hay with this crazy weather we are Having ?. Well done Nicole on here first drone footage 🫵🏻

[@fergus3568]

The silage to balance them whole or balance the hole!! Great video as always. 👍👍

[@stevenatkinson429]

We use to take Kaolin and Morphine medicine for diarreah when we were kids, dries you right up it does 🤠👍

[@haroldjones4309]

Has they say we live and learn, I have to dose my lambs at 6 weeks for cocy, your lucky you have grass we are very sort just burning off, at the speed your mowing you can come and cut ours, cracking video keep them coming

[@petercarmichael4072]

Better watch out Adrian your girls are slowly taking over. Might end up working for them soon. Just like my 15 year old daughter is involved with helping me around the farm. Great drone flying Cya

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I’ll happily take a step back if they let me 🤣, 👌👍

[@nialljackson6924]

You should take faecal samples to check if worming or treatment is needed for coccidiosis to avoid unnecessary treatments.

[@ballyhoulihanagrivideos397]

Lovely.The dry conditions appear to have encouraged some fields to head out . Maybe some straw for the calves ?

[@JonDingle]

Good cure for the runs or rumen problems is kaolin powder. It's an inert (relatively) clay ground into a fine powder and is used in agriculture, food, medicine and other industries. Cornflour is another powder that can used in humans in the form of vanilla custard powder. I always wondered what it would like to ride in a feed trough as it was carried! 🤣🤣 Grazon Pro is good for killing off weeds. It doesn't kill grass. Nicole did well with the drone. Top video squire? Top video squire!

[@michealwhite8776]

Congratulations Nicole on the drone flying 👏 the Massey was flying at one stage...though she was going to take off..🤣 I suppose you've been asking this before Adrian...you'd hardly require a front mower...it would certainly speed up the operation..🚜

[@IFarmWeFarm]

No could never justify it Micheal, you’d be surprised though at how quick you’d get through stuff at the same time. Kinda wish now that I bought a 10ft at the time

[@dellhell8842]

13:29 Adrian flicks the universe from 540 to 1000 RPM. 😉

[@IFarmWeFarm]

If only real life was like that 🤣

[@MarcvanExel]

Lovely update. Nice work on the drone Nicole, great footage and good angles! Have a nice week ahead and looking forward to the next update.

[@caffrey9762]

Nice video, Good ta see ya looking out for the wild life ( Hares) 👌.

[@ranger553]

SSS.... SUMMER SCOUR SYNDROME.. For the last few years we supply access to straw until calves are 7 months. No problems with SSS and changed meal supplier to include a rumen buffer The calves will source the straw themselves even when they have great grass.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes you hit the nail on the head, that would be the right way to do it Robert, we change our meal to include the same just never though of mentioning it. 👍

[@seansugrue2213]

Uproot for docks u can get it online the best won't stunt your grass

[@thetessellater9163]

Lots of praise in the comments for the daughter, none for you, Adrian ! So, great video, mate. 😉

[@IFarmWeFarm]

She said that to me herself yesterday 🤣

[@jonathanconway8175]

Fair play, crops look well....just wondering have you ever tried adding additives to the bales like molasses, I know a few lads that their baler man has like an IBC dribble bar on the front links ahead of the baler that let's out onto sward. Would be interesting to see if the feed value in the bales is any better than with nothing added.

[@edwardoutthere3189]

Good man Adrian model farmer

[@drdulas5055]

So love the drone shots of your area and the scenery. It does look you will get some good tonnage from your fields. Do you rotate your paddocks similar to the Once a Day Farmer from New Zealand for your milk cows?

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes we aim for a 18- 21 day rotate here, the New Zealand guys like Andrew there would be do things very similar to the way we do things in Ireland

[@claetuswoodroofe1854]

Doc spray works better 3 weeks after mowing than in the spring because the leaves are softer and will take in the chemical better

[@michellekemp3104]

Those calves are so cute! I don’t know how you’ve managed with your girls to not have names for all and bells around there neck’s😂😂🐮🐮

[@IFarmWeFarm]

There all named and spoilt rotten at this stage Michelle, I get pulled apart when I go in to meal them because of this as they have no fear and are quite brazened 😉

[@mf-yz4qn]

Keep de mower out of de grass before starting protect de slip clutch. Not cheap to repair in dem. Great video as always 👍🏻

[@kevinmcg5496]

The docks are in the slurry from last year's cut so keep spraying them and it will kill it off in a few seasons

[@markredmond987]

Down here in South East second cuts are terrible. Grass is turning brown so at least your second cut is green let it be a bit steamy.i had the last few calves scouring too.I gave them kalin powder to.seems to have worked... how many days did u do them.i only gave 3 times but gave a small handful in a bottle of water.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

A table spoon each once a day for 3 days Mark, done it’s job but it’s there dirt that fixes the overall problem

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Great video, your daughter did a great job on the drone, great way to keep her interested and working with you on the farm. Loved seeing big red on the mower to. Adrian what type of drone are you using, if you don’t mind me asking, thinking of buying one myself.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

DJI Mavic Air 2, great drone that can do it all. Cheers lad 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Great stuff, thanks Adrian 😁

[@agoodbluewilldo8359]

Some say the most second cuts are stemy this year because grass was under stress from heat and also because of less nitrogen being spread

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes that’s it exactly lad, ground is hard as rock this year

[@emmet3232]

Great video, super filming, Did you ever get any further with the GPS mapping?

[@IFarmWeFarm]

No unfortunately, that antenna is damaged cause it keeps losing its position. Going to get the upgraded dome style antenna soon as loads of people recommended it over the other

[@philiptyndall4968]

@@IFarmWeFarm no need for the dome type for what you’re at Adrian We’ve just the smaller antenna here and does the finest

[@anthonymccluskey3822]

To get a good kill on docks you need to spray in good growing conditions to get chemical down to roots otherwise your only getting the aerial parts.

[@welllads]

Well

[@philiptyndall4968]

That 2nd fiend you cut is a hybrid grass I’d say Adrian? Not great stuff for 8 week growing silage, needs to be cut every 5-6 weeks

[@mistypeppercorn914]

I remember years ago, we always worked from the center of the field out and that way would push the hare and rabbit to the ditch, or send in the children in for 30 minutes to run around the field to scare off the wild life.

[@ethanowens3368]

Well how ya get on she is good on the drone for first time what sort of a drone is it

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes she done really well, it’s a DJI Air 2 Ethan.

[@donalshanley1239]

Adrian who don't you put the bale lifter on the 54 and bring a bale on the loader

[@alanmarshall874]

More comfort in the 76

Loader is of being restored at the minute Donal, takes a few weeks for the paint to fully harden
