Great video and an excellent sentiment into the reasons why you are driving ahead with your farm. Best of luck in your endeavours for 2023

[@Canningfarms]

Thanks so much hope it all works out

Cheers Robert hopefully sone of it will happen

[@markb1487]

Ohh MAN...As a ex dairyman and now beef farmer of around 200,, one piece of advice I always give is "" work smarter, not harder""...Liked this video.

[@Canningfarms]

That's the plan to get the farm running with maximum efficiency with as little time as I can because we could all be out night and day otherwise.

[@markb1487]

@@Canningfarms That's why we got out of Milk production and into Beef.. 6hrs a day milking is stupidity...It took us a while to learn that..

[@TerriblyNice_Not]

Subscribed! I'm sure some of the rough cuts will tidy up as you get more used to KZbin but the content is there and the passion is there. You're telling a good story and you have the enthusiasm. The one thing I'd say is that the best way to inform people about farming and the food they consume, is through positive demonstration and good information. As you said, there's too much negativity. I'd say the same is true though when people dismiss the concerns of people about antibiotics and also emmissions. And clearly they are issues in the wider industry even if blanket use of antibiotics or other jabs are not common in most of Ireland. So I'm looking forward to hearing you putting out the positive story of farming, acknowledging its genuine impact on the world around it - positive and negative - and being honest about the ups and downs of farming. I grew up on farms and love that life even if it's not for me today - so these kinds of videos are great! Keep it up!

[@Canningfarms]

Thank you yea editing and sound will improve but just at the min time and money are short but hopefully will improve as channel grows hopefully

[@chloecrawford7180]

topping a grazed field when the cattle comes off it helps it come back better and even

[@Canningfarms]

Yea I used to have a disc mower up on till last year but it had its last day 🤣 I'll have to buy one this year because it keeps the weeds back as well

Can you tell me how you tested your bales? How many did you sample to determine the results for each paddock - or however you divide them up?

[@Canningfarms]

Got them tested with arivo (you local co-op will do it for you) take a bit from a few bales of each cut for a representative sample, I just done by first second cut etc if you want by paddock just mark the bale when the come in so you know we're the came from and do the same thing

[@raghavhendarreddy4999]

Hi ya, quick question, with two herds of cattle so two herd numbers, what kinda of agreement have you on TB? I know a man at your game, but the cattle have gone down with TB! And now the shit has hit the fan. Thanks.

[@Canningfarms]

All cattle are tested and moved into my herd so no 2 herd numbers it's my own, as regards tb when they are in calf like mine are when the are ready to go back they can be moved on a special permit for animal health reasons they need to go back to the home farm for calving they have the facilities for it

[@Williamfm262]

Just came across ur channel. Really good. Love the positivity. What type of land are u on??

It would be good lime stone land but only have about 50 acres of grass at the min hoping to expand.. thanks again

[@josephsheedy8009]

Ex dairy farmer, currently buy in Fr bulling heifers and sell near springing or maybe calved. Im looking at contract rearing for cash flow purposes. I see in your other videos where farmers pays all extras ( dosing , vaccines, vets). Just wondering do you pay for the meal or is that your cost when not meeting weights?

[@Canningfarms]

He pays for meal joesph.. weights are done on animal to animal basis weight every 6 weeks havnt founf a problem yet only with animals that maybe off target on arrival or ones that are sick young

[@davidlittle256]

I would love to know what you charge for winter cattle? I have been thinking of doing something like this myself create video.

[@Canningfarms]

Depends on your own out k Lay David tbh every ones situation is different I charge just a flat rate across the year for simplicity.. some charge more some less anything like dose meal vet ai etc it covered by the owner with me, after that my own time silage grass water electricity and repayments are on me

[@verwonderingalom]

What is said about steroids or growth improvers is a little suggestive. We in holland aren’t allowed either to use that kind of manufactured things. No one should want it, but that’s my opinion. In what country’s isn’t any kind of regulation or less at all?

[@Canningfarms]

In the states the still use them Europe is alot more regulated

[@verwonderingalom]

@@Canningfarms yes you hear no one about how this kind of stuff works in south america Eastern Europe Africa Asia or Russia. Only thing we hear from people talking about farmers, not with farmers, mostly in the media and some politic party’s that we are doing it totally wrong and are destroying nature. Sometimes that gives a very depressing feeling. Thank you very much for your answer!

@@verwonderingalom yea like you farm under the same conditions as we do which is so highly regulated and animal welfare is the most important thing
