New yard in action and parlour progress

[@IFarmWeFarm]

2” for the parlour sump outlet is plenty as you’ll have more pressure and less blockages. Your moving on nicely lad 👌

[@smalldairyfarmer]

Coming along nicely 👏

[@samuelrobinson9012]

I think you've a lot more work ahead of you than you realise. Hopefully, you prove me wrong

[@deanepeter1]

Looks like great progress. Put in another pipe for the soiled water before you pour the concrete or you'll be digging your yard up whenever you get to build a soiled water tank.

[@helenholmes3018]

So pleased find your video again they don't let know when you put one up love listening to you

[@IvanFisher-qc1mc]

I saw you with the hand scraper ,done the same for years, till i bought a second hand ride on lawnmower that came of a golf course and i made a scraper to suit it for handy money enough would send photos if i knew how, best of luck

[@gerryryan2142]

Good progress. Once you get going above the concrete it will come together

[@SeanP6480]

Great to see an update 👍you’re going along well , if your builder stays with you for a few weeks it will make a big change, all the best and keep the videos coming

[@DonalHarte]

Making. great progress fine wide milking parlour pit

[@johnbennett5595]

Great progress Kieran. Looking forward to seeing it up and running. All the best. 👍

[@cdemo1186]

Good man Kieran, great to see the progress. Can't wait to see the finished job. I hope it's very successful for you and you have of healthy cows and calves.

[@barryhorgan127]

Il glad to see you using scraper..my dad is milking 50 cows at 70 years old and still scrapes cubicles every day...good for the fitness😮...best of luck with the new venture. Very interesting watch as usual

[@ericknutsen1958]

Really happy to see your progress Kieran!

[@tomreidy8468]

Place is taking shape fair play! I use the spade for building sand castles to throw out the lime on the cubicles I find it works 100% and it’s cheap more importantly!

[@parishsuffolks924]

Your making great progress in this expensive environment great video well done

[@christinejeffrey5994]

Well done. Good progress.

[@patrickosullivan4021]

Great progress being made, it will be lovely when everything is done

[@johnearle6667]

Fine looking job and well done , Just in case a heifer calves early you should ask around if anyone has a mobile milker and you could milk in the crush or if your stall work was in place you could milk one or two that way

[@buikpluis]

Great project!

[@jamesfox5245]

Great progress.

[@pierceol966]

Great progress its all starting to come together👍

[@philiphill8006]

Great progress and looks a nice simple system, time is flying by and you’ll be surprised how soon you’ll be milking 👍. Using lime please be aware you’ll breath more of the evil stuff in whilst milking than bedding up. I always wear a mask whilst milking on the farms where they use sawdust and lime.

[@richardmckelvey2275]

Great work

[@markphilpott9531]

Great progress Kieran best of luck 👍

[@seansugrue2213]

Good video keep up the good work

[@goldfire1676]

Its going very good for you

[@theghostofcornpop4175]

So impressed mate , really taking shape now , ya should put a thing on your channel for us to support the channel £££ , keep it up man 👌💪👏👍

[@johncoakley6188]

Vink lime spreader, small money, best of luck

[@padraigking5185]

Good stuff

[@stonemad4197]

Thanks for the update...are you still working off farm,and if so what is your plan around that..

[@martinoneill1644]

You can buy a push scraper with wheels that would be a help at local co-op. Engine one is crazy money if it’s only short term need.

[@johnnyflat2138]

Fair play for the update. Get a mobile parlour organised ASAP, there won't be cows milked in that parlour for a few months.

[@theoracle8560]

The sooner he realizes this the better or he’ll be sitting on a three legged stool with a bucket between his knees. This is going to be tough watching in a few short weeks, the naivety is worrying.

[@tc6573]

Speaking from experience I would advise you to have a wider gate on at least one end of the parlour pit. It has happened that a cow through being pushed goes down and falls into pit. You mighten think it but it does happen!

[@patjuliettefleming1150]

A quicker way to lime cubicles get a metal scoop used for meal or nuts at local co op small wheelbarrow with lime one throw will a couple at a time will save time if liming twice a day when cows calve

[@alanbyrne4348]

A little ash shovel is great for the lime

[@johncarroll8891]

Better get a move on Kieran there is a lot more work to do calving time wont be long

[@jamescarmody1710]

U should look into the trolley scraper that u pull after urself

[@georgecunningham1696]

Well Kieran great job be done on parlor, what kind of lime are you using is there a certain brand you use ?

[@DylanFarrell-t3j]

Your lucky with the eye, happened to me 2 weeks ago I was spreading lime and a cow got up and hit me in the eye with her tail and that with lime I ended up in a&e with a bad infection like you had to wash it in a trough as mains was under repair it wasn’t the nicest of procedures in hospital for the sake of glasses and mask it’s worth investing in them

[@Imtheman1977]

What about a sieve for the lime?

[@ToriOBrien-t5b]

Best way to put out lime is your hand, one hand full normally covers 2 cubicles, your using too much

[@gerrymulligan2602]

Ya get scraper with engin I farm we farm has one great job

[@trevorpower6431]

Dont use too much lime especially with heifers,it makes their udders sore before calving and they will kick the crap out of u and can be bad for cows feet too

[@ColmConnolly-r8k]

Them sheds will break your heart.when you get you busier

[@theghostofcornpop4175]

And she was forever known as al pochino 😂👏

[@patrickbuckley7832]

I'll sell you a good tractor scraper, check out done deal.

[@DavidMulvany-f1n]

Hey kieran, just wondering if you have any problems with deer in your area

[@sullivansfarm]

[@DavidMulvany-f1n]
