Please don’t change Tom we love you just as you are

My husband and I say that kind of stuff to each other all the time, and we adore each other. I'm sorry people don't know how love laughs...

[@Cheryl-d7z]

I agree with allot of the comments here Tom, there is no reason why you should have to explain, or defend your self. Your doing an outstanding job as a farmer with the conditions you work with! All your animals look like there in great conditions! None look lame, or limping profusely! You have great workers, if they make wrong, you don't blast em on video, your professional response to take care of any issues in private!!! They look so calm all laying in there bed/stals!

[@paulfletcher4709]

You can’t explain workplace humour to people who 1) don’t work and 2) don’t have a sense of humour ! Pretty sure the girls give as good as they get it’s refreshing to see them in the industry

[@jaykneegarner2479]

If anyone is curious about the magnet and what it prevents I suggest watching the Video titled hardwired for the happy hunting ground. I will warn you that its graphic, as it’s a necropsy of a cow who was euthanized after developing some very concerning symptoms of Heart failure. It’s a interesting case study as to why magnets are so important. The audio isn’t great but the information provided is easy to understand if you can get past the wind and lack of wind sock and microphone( he has since purchased and installed both,Lol!

[@leesa7517]

Judging by the video title & poor audio comment, it’s gotta be an “Enoch the Cow Vet” video 😂 Love his work - bit graphic and confronting at times, but incredibly educational.

[@stevewareing8525]

Great video Tom, manual bedding up must be no joke but you've still got the knack (Great wrist action by the way "Ooh Matron" with the shovel of course) 😉 Feeding is feeding, it all depends on location as you said be it floor or trough! I love the fact that Katie gives as good as she gets (Sometimes more when you deserve it, yeah Boy) 😉. The weather has decided the cows should be in now so fingers crossed with the extra room you have set up and the feed quality the milk yields will continue to rise. The cows definitely looked happy now the new clamp shed is keeping the weather off them. As Joe would say "Business"👍.

[@clairenurse2378]

Hi Tom, I really enjoyed that video, it's fascinating to watch the behaviour of the cows. I was wondering if they have a hierarchy, do they go to the same places? I realise that that was the day we arrived in Blackpool and we came to the Farm shop for our milk and eggs. Later in the week we purchased a couple of Lamb Henrys which I roasted when we got back home. Absolutely superb meat, thank-you.

I’d be interested in 1st cut quality, probably be your dry cow feed, 2nd and 3rd I would think will be better. The wheels haven’t come off the wheel barrow but the handles have nearly 😂.
