Somethings Not Right Here... How A Days Plans Can Change

[@KarenWood-cj4xi]

Hello Adrian. Not a farmer but l love the farming episodes. I am surprised by the gentleness with the cattle. And the dogs. You are so busy but know each of them. Good on you. 😊

Hello Adrian, little trick for the skulling gate above the grease nipple drill a hole straight true the pipe and u can put a screwdriver or a pin in it and itl hold the gate open, it works a treat

[@radharcanna]

I went to college with a man from Monaghan over 40 years ago and ‘eegit’ (eejit) was a favourite word of his. I haven’t heard that pronunciation since! It must be a Cavan/Monaghan thing. Great to see the care you give your animals.

[@teresabrewer2661]

You are very observant with your cattle and that's saved the poor thing suffering more. Take care and God bless 🐄🐄🐄

[@CB-xr1eg]

It also saved him a hefty vet's bill no doubt!

[@genemcintyre5352]

They say farming is cruel to the animals, but you can see the love of the animals in the way they behave, and you sir treat your animals very well,. Is a real c redit to you and the vast majority of farmers that take excellent car of their stock.

[@farmerslife2612]

That was great work with your cattle

[@boogiewoogiebubbleboy2877]

Hi Adrian. I'm not a farmer, I'm not Irish but an English man who has loved farm life and horses since I was a small boy. I'm not one for leaving comments on a regular basis, although I have left you a couple this year. I don't use social media, but occasionally, I observe something which, for the life of me, I can not explain. To give you a bit of history. From the age of 10, I worked on a dairy farm/livery stables at weekends and holidays in West Sussex until the age of 17. My mother worked in the livery stable as a trainer. It was she who got me the job. Anyway, I saw many things on the farm and took particular interest in blacksmithing as the stables had their own smithy who looked after around 100 horses. I even had the opportunity to work in the abattoir a few miles away, which I was not keen on. Like I said, I've seen a lot of things both on the farm, in the livery stables, and at the abattoir. Then, one day, I noticed hanging from the beams in your cattle sheds are what look like dead branches. I noticed them beforehand when I first subscribed to your channel but was too embarrassed to ask about them. I thought at first they were to help keep flies away, but then they were so high up. So Adrian, please put me out of my miserly. What are those branches, and why do you have them hanging? Perhaps you could explain in one of your next videos as I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering.

Whoa!! Okay, that's good.

[@fleurjardin1012]

I am so impressed by your well-thought out, efficient ways of doing things around the farm. You obviously take very good care of your cows and know them well. I'm glad the sick one is on the mend. Hope you are feeling back to normal soon.

Get a narrow steel rod bar with 2 short bits sticking down at each side of the bar to keep crush gate open. Works well.

Hi Adrian, new follower here, really interested to know what the branches are hanging up in the cattle sheds ? Thanks !

Use cable ties or bit of wire pointing upwards on top of your rails will help keep the crows off they use a plastic spike thing you can glue on to keep birds off also

As always, a great video. Glad to see you had some good weather. 👍😊👍

[@everestyeti]

Glad the calf was ok, I know how much you worry about your stock so it must have been a relief. Don't talk to me about Crows, one of the buildings I looked after which had a massive flat roof, just because they could they used to remove the wire mesh balls that we used to put in the top of the down pipes to stop any debris getting into them. Wouldn't mind but they would wait for the contractors to finish fitting them, then as soon as they went they used to swoop down remove them and just fly off, until they were replaced again. We could fix anything permanent as it was a listed building. 🤬👍

Taking notice of your drone advice now looking for pre owned after Christmas when they all spent up

[@whitenose_8618]

I enjoy watching your videos. I learn a lot of great tips by watching your videos. I myself have 1 cow with a calf and a bull. I have a small problem though. Every winter when the snow comes, the water freezes, so we have to run with buckets of water several times a day for our 3 animals. So how do you water your cows in the winter? Do you have heating cables in the pipes?

[@DjDj-ww6rh]

Did you get any hedge cutting done yet

[@shamrock4500]

I like the ramp on your trailer but is it harder with those fence things on sides that fold out. Never seen those in the USA.

[@mrvanahead]

Actually, a chain on a trailer (the 750kg and up ones at least) would be more dangerous. If the hitch would come loose and the trailer is heavy enough, it will trow your car around. On low speeds not so much a problem, but imagine it doing so at 80 kph. Thats what i was thought about a breakaway cable vs chain when doin my hgv license. 😊

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s actually a good point in fairness 👍

[@vxnova1]

The chains are mandatory in America, I guess it safer than the trailer coming loose and hitting an oncoming car,

[@mrvanahead]

@@vxnova1 but in europe the trailer breaks when it comes loose, that's what Adrian was fixing that little read cable for. Have your trailers breaks too?

[@vxnova1]

@@mrvanahead no the one I have doesn’t but it would be smaller than what Adrian is dealing with here,

[@mrvanahead]

@@vxnova1 the small ones in europe (max 750kgs) dont have breaks, then a chain is mandatory too indeed. Do you know if those Thunder creek fuel trailers like the Millenial farmer has, have breaks on ehm, the seem heavy when loaded. Even for a big pickup truck 😊

Why do you have branches hanging from the ceiling of the calf house. You have lovely condition on your calves are they all spring calves you have on the farm?

what are your thoughts on Karen Moynihans video on TB Adrian im not a farmer but it sounds to me like all you livestock farmers need to be pressurising your goverment into more action

[@IFarmWeFarm]

TB has always been a problem, the testing protocols are both stressful for farmers and cattle. Vaccines would be great but there are different strains of TB which makes that complicated but certainly not impossible. Veterinary practices etc make a lot of money from testing, most spending the first half of there day doing so. The accuracy of the test themselves can be questionable . Badger and deer vaccines are there and supposedly been administered although not at the level needed, we have plenty of active sets nearby which have been reported and physically shown to the department many years ago but nothing has been tested nor vaccinated as of yet. I can’t see any real change happening anytime soon unfortunately James.

[@BackyardMechCon]

You were on your own backing the trailer ramp door against the crush wall and were looking for some help. If you paced out the distance on the blind side to the wall and drop a piece of silage etc. that distance on the other side you could see and aim for that when backing, you'd be fairly near it with no help required.

As thick as three long planks.
