[@amandadouthwaite1863]

Brilliant video Crawford and very interesting how they work over there its also a beautiful country The discussion group sounds like a great idea. im sure it would help some farmers sharing ideas and different ways of working all heading to the finance side of farming. It looked like you and Mrs Gate lady had a wonderful working holliday. Thank you so much for sharing it with us and what wonderful people they are inviting you over and taking the time to show you around. Take care 💜

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

[@georgehay5929]

[@rncharrison]

Good to see the chaps down under also have gate ladies. She was well trained.

[@sheilat3839]

[@matthewhodder3029]

[@pauljohn6637]

Looks as if you enjoyed New Zealand. Great video. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

[@123456BobJackson]

Thanks for sharing your vacation

[@jeremygalbraith5056]

Amazing country..thanks Crawford 👍

[@davebryan6261]

Good for you and gate lady, hell of a working vacation.

[@colinwientjens1871]

Discussion groups are awesome man, you learn so much. Good to have a mix of age and experience, young ppl trying new things to spark up the oldies and the oldies are guaranteed to have delt with any problems they younger ones are dealing with for the first time. Start off with just a “physicals” group, add the financials once everyone if comfortable. Farmers only compete for land and staff, work together on the rest 👍

[@AndrewMcPhee-g4o]

Great video Crawford. Thought we saw gate lady at the sheep crush? Looks your having a great time

[@meowjanet]

Wondered the same. We don’t know what she looks like though!

[@wcel84]

11:01 though

[@meowjanet]

@@wcel84 mmmm the mystery deepens,,I respect gateladys privacy though of course…

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Nope thats not her

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Crawford aye they have big farms in NZ a lot of live stock unreal 👌

[@CowleyHillFarm]

Cracking video! Really interesting

[@ronanlucid9588]

Great video, very interesting to see farming in new zealand. Did we get to see gate lady by accident ????

[@iian050]

Majorly jealous of your trip. Did the 19/20 harvest between Otago and Waikato. Amazing country

[@JeremyGibbs-k7q]

This video should inspire everyone to go and work in New Zealand. Do it!

[@ellencarver5575]

Thank you for sharing your experience of New Zealand with us it’s very interesting and informative, it’s a country I would have loved to visit but I think my age is against that happening now. I found it interesting that they give no assistance to their ewes at lambing time which is the complete opposite here, lambing time here in my experience it’s every man woman and child available are expected to help with the minimum of sleep.

[@MikeMarkison-v2k]

Thank you

[@malcsco]

Great video Crawford. How many sheep are you buying when you get home?. Good to see gatelady is living a life of luxury, no gates to open. Go gatelady.

[@willyfindlay4398]

My first Cousin who now owns a small dairy farm had to start from scratch as being a dairy farmer jumped a generation. 😊

[@wulliewhyte544]

I'm really shocked the amount of sheep i have seen on this channel lately 😂😂think gloagburn could have a flock soon

[@jacobleigh662]

Was that gate lady when you were looking at the T-Pari system

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Nope

[@wcel84]

11:01 ;)

[@paulleaver8820]

Great video

[@KiwiJim13]

👀🙄🐾👍 Great video Crawford what's with the Otago rugby shirt? I thought you would be wearing a Lions Shirt? You have finally revealed Gate Lady's face was that a slip on your part ?are you thinking of going back into maggot taxis?

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

That wasnt gate lady 😁

[@KiwiJim13]

Really young man ​@CrawfordsFarm1

[@alanparkinson4772]

Great video Crawford mate, hope you and Mrs Crawford are having a fab time out there mate 👍 that's the down fall in this country mate NO one communicates and they think that there neighbours competition

[@johnscott2603]

Lovely

[@TomTierneyFarmer]

Gate lady caught on cam 😂

[@OxxFreddyGlasgow.]

Please give me that 700 in acres please. What an awesome video Crawford. Great to see him using the Simmental.

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

[@gailcollins5866]

Stunning landscape to farm on

[@ulsterlad2256]

9:33 thought there was 2 of you for a second

[@dfgaJK]

Maybe get a Heli for Kev? 😆

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Get to da chopppa

[@W333TAM]

Is this us seeing gate lady for real for the 1st time?

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Nope not gate lady 😁

[@W333TAM]

@CrawfordsFarm1 that's going to be a quick divorce🤣🤣

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

🤣

[@W333TAM]

@CrawfordsFarm1 at least you'll both get a sheep each🤣🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Crawford. Great content. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@TomThomson-u2x]

You've turned into gate lady you bandit😅

[@Sean-qm8cb]

Here's a question? Do you think the helicopter working like that could benefit a Scottish farmer/crofter.

[@JeremyGibbs-k7q]

Unassisted lambing and fit ewes. The kiwis do it well and simply. I’ve said for a long time we over complicated sheep here in the UK. There’s a reason meat is cheaper in Australia and New Zealand.

[@dennismaley4232]

Now wait you hate sheep. And can you tell me how big is a hecktor is in acres. And did you forget gate lady was in the picture when you was looking at the sheep chute

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

2.47 acres in a hectare. Also thats not gate lady 😁

[@phil6465]

@CrawfordsFarm1 So you took a stunt double with you!🤣🤣

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

If you look closely in the side by side theres 3 girls 😁

[@phil6465]

@CrawfordsFarm1 5:57

[@philipcarr92]

Great vid Crawford. Check out 'Baldy's Farm' latest youtube vid where he does a presentation on his Suckler Farm. He's also in a farmer's forum/club.

[@DaveG7920]

I much prefer the Kiwi approach to succession, not so many entitled idiots who think they should be handed everything or as many grumpy old farts who won't let the next generation buy in and crack on.

[@johnhughes6472]

Would you move ????🤪

[@FarmingIRL2024]

Gate ladys face on show

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Wasnt her 😁

[@FarmingIRL2024]

@ 😂😂😂😂

[@fredanastas7103]

Was that Gate Lady in the barn where the sheep system was demonstrated? She was standing next to you.

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Nope, she was behind camera

[@guyd4067]

More unwarranted slandering of the most biddable, sensible, predictable animal in the world: the sheep.
