I’m always blown away by the amount of helpfully information the tips we get from our viewers, it’s invaluable and not just to us but to others as well. Hearing and learning about stuff we never knew of before. It’s a brilliant community 💪 👏

[@ewilliams6839]

We had same problem few years back cydectin la injection was the only thing that cured it here. We had very bad dose of it here had done everything like you cydectin only thing that cured it after.

Hello from Moosomin ,Saskatchewan, Canada Great videos thanks for sharing.

[@Eamo-21]

This is the kinda thing people need to see. Love and care given to that calf to make sure it got a great start. There are farmers up and down the country giving this kind of care to their animals but you won't see it in the headlines. Top job and great vid

Hi. Great video again at about 14:38 when talking about finishing the jet spraying you said " Going home to change my clothes and a wife to beat, then realised you said Going home for a bite to eat" hilarious 😂🤣😂 for a second. I love the Irish accent. Thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Another great video, I have said before, but I have never seen a cleaner farm, its spotless, its a credit to you and your family

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

My daughter has a farm and about 4 year ago her beef cattle was really bad with ringworm,i can't remember if she got them injected or if it was a pour on she was then told to wash everything down so she hired a steam cleaner and did everything on the highest heat and then sprayed everything with a really strong disinfectant,we did the washing and spraying after everything was put out to the field,and we also did it all again before the cattle come back in and it's seemed to have cleared the ringworm.

[@johnlewins4523]

Creosote your timbers in the shed, as it kills the bacteria in the wood that harbours the ringworm..

I live up here on the Fermanagh Monaghan border and locally we have a few people with the cure for Ringworm. I myself had young calves with ringworm and it was holding them back a bit you could see. I got the local man with the cure and it wasn’t 5 days until you could see the ringworm dying on them. Could be an option for you.

[@melanieharrison7465]

Oregano oil works great on ringworm. Just rub it on the bald spots and the hair should start to regrow within three days. Definitely check the minerals too. Free choice Kelp meal can boost their minerals to help them recover more quickly. Good luck!

Another interesting video Adrian,grandfather used to brush paraffin on timber around any feeders,used to work,then we used to find didn’t have enough for the t20,so he would moan at us for using to much petrol 🤪,thought you done well for the calf’s welfare,👍

[@MsJT1964]

Try spraying the heifer shed with Sorgene 5 , especially the wood. This has worked well for us to prevent Ringworm. Love the channel, keep up the good work 👍

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes several people mention this stuff, never heard of it before now. I’ll get it this week and treat all. Thanks for the info 👍

[@abbeylanddave]

Great video ! Is there any chance you'd be able to show us the extension you use for washing the side sheeting of the shed. Keep them coming.. thanks 🚜

[@grahammooney4569]

leave the Holly up Adrian a farmer I buy calves of has the same Holly in his sheds for years and he has nt had ring worm since he wrekons it has to be dead to work so learning from him I done the same and it's worked but sure what works for me won't necessarily work for everyone that's just the way it is keep up the good work love the videos

[@andrewbyers1555]

We have the same power washer great things but extremely hard started for us anyway

[@padraigbarron5603]

We were getting hardship with ringworm with the heifers too. We had timber on doors in the shed. We took the timber off and put a hard plastic on instead. No issues with ringworm this yr. Our shed are washed every yr and disinfected but I think it lives in the timber or something

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s interesting, loads of people wrecking it’s the timber. I will one day swap out that Timber for concrete. Thanks for the info Padraig, it all helps 👍

[@markcorr6704]

We just got an outbreak in weaned calves that are in a shed with steel doors gates and steel hayfeeders. No timber at all in the shed. Still got it. I would be thinking its a mineral issue. Still use the holly here too but a fella told me once that it has to be the red berried holly. Used calf care product last year from agri llyod and made a massive difference.

[@martinoneill1644]

I’ve notice the same issue with docks sprayed recently. Patches of them look like they were immune from the spay. Hopefully when cut they won’t grow back.

[@richardmorgan9918]

Thanks for another really practical and informative video diary of a very hard working farmer …… when you are pressure washing the cubical sheds, are you adding disinfectant to water - not sure if this would help the ringworm but it should break the cycle of some of the bacterial nasties that can linger only to emerge later ?

[@IFarmWeFarm]

No I don’t run disinfectant through the washer as it can damage the pump, I just spread it with a flower watering can Richard

[@sf287]

We just used Holly for ringworm but like you said in the video Adrian,we hung it of the girders and it work perfect,never had ringworm since and that was a couple of years back

[@troynorrad6081]

We always use a 50/50 blend of used gear oil and diesel fuel and brush it on with a paint brush. Also works well with a hanging rub brush and a drip tank.

[@padraigmccaul2769]

Well Adrian there is a bottle of green medicine custom made by a pharmacist in Bailieborough town for ringworm u apply it on a cloth or tissue and apply it on the area of ringworm on ur animal it’s great stuff I use it all the time works 100%

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I’ve heard about that only recently, thanks Padraig

[@cdemo1186]

Good man Adrian, great video as always,lots going on,very busy time of the year. Would you throw down some lime on the sheds now you have them washed?

[@tgagri3555]

Adrian just asking say if you have manure do ya draw it out with a tractor and the box an put I piles in the field and the spread it out with fork

[@IFarmWeFarm]

We have next to no dung on the farm, just calf bedding which we pile and spread after it rots down. Our slurry contractor spreads it for us, I used to spread it with a fork myself

[@jamesgreer6471]

Using the high zinc buckets will sort it. Use a high quality mineral bucket though as it should have the better quality zinc contents that the animals can absorb through their blood system.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes definitely so, I don’t if I said it would n the video but we’re using sheep lick buckets at the minute as there have a much higher Zinc content. UV rays outside has it all but gone now a week later. 👍

[@davidflynn9609]

Great video Adrian as usual. I wonder was it a bit windy when you were spraying the docks. If they are totally healthy they must have got no spray at all. If your pressure is over 3 bar's it can drift mad. Also you can get low drift nozzles which are a great job. Ps the sunshine will take away the ring worm. It does them no harm, but it's just a bit un sitely..

[@IFarmWeFarm]

There was a bit of a breeze but it’s just odd as it’s just a few Random spots, need to get some low drift spray tips for that sprayer next week as we’ve loads of jobs for it this year 👍

[@davidflynn9609]

@@IFarmWeFarm price them first as they're not dirt cheap, but not that dear either if you meet the right supplier. Alot of silage on here in Cork this weekend. Don't know what the panic is. Cuts are light, I'm leaving the crops bulk up to get value fron the fertiliser. 25th of May will still not be late Take care.

[@mervynkirkpatrick3373]

For issues with ring worm and lice put male holly up in the sheds and this should resolve the issue, we put a new set up each year.

Sump oil for Ring Worm applied with a paint brush. Swear by it.

[@georgemorrison6689]

The ring worm is unsightly, and I don't like to see it either, given that the white beast did not get it I would wonder if it was something to do with the pigment of the skin tha might indicate a supplement deficiency, have you had soil test Adrian I know your grass looks strong but might be worth having it tested just to see if everything is in there, very enjoyable can't wait to see what everyone else is at round about you, good luck to you

[@IFarmWeFarm]

It’s only strong in about 40%, has a little while to go yet. Yes a supplement deficiency would cause the ringworm been so active over there body. We do soil samples each year but didn’t really look out for that if I’m honest. Might run a few blood tests this week just for curiosity. The ringworm has all but gone since that was film, can’t beat the sunshine 👍

[@garymadden2656]

Great video Adrian 👌

[@mistypeppercorn914]

Our dry stock got ring worm and the dairy cows didnt, swapped over the lick buckets and gave them dairy nuts and problem solved within 2-3weeks. so it's a lack of trace minerals, zinc and selenium etc.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s very interesting, I was told that myself, our dairy cows never get it nor any cattle under 6 months of age even if they share the same house. Its definitely a good point Misty 👍

[@mrv8788]

Another nice video again as usual Adrian who looks after your farm when you’re away he must be very good to keep up to your standards I presume you trust him quite a lot because obviously you’ve got to have time to go away every now and again like everybody else who works especially the hours you put in I said very nice to see what you get up to looking forward to a lot more of what you do take care and God bless

[@IFarmWeFarm]

I can honestly say I haven’t missed a milking in nearly 2 years, apart from when I got injured last year, a holiday is long overdue. My brother is great if needed, I have a great local lad too so the help is there when needed. I’m not to fussy at all, as long as the milked and fed I’m happy. Thanks mate 👍

Did you buy any cattle in Adrian? We bought a bull last year who brought it in and it was rife. Only one left with it now

[@IFarmWeFarm]

No we haven’t bought in cattle in over 20 years. Probably got it from neighbouring cattle Paul

[@alanpeavoy8801]

Roseclear for your ringworm. Works great

[@donnachadoyle2175]

Paint burnt oil on it great job and paint timber in barriers now and it will be well dried for next winter.

[@jasondavies4887]

I've seen people putting the Holly somewhere that the cows can itch, scrach and rub in it, and apparently it works better that way

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Yes I was told that after, I’ll be doing that next year for sure. Learning bit by bit 👍

[@neilmicke1622]

My dad had ringworm one time in his heifers and used waste engine oil on them. It seemed to work by softening the lesion, but maybe wasn't the best choice because of the toxic materials in it. But that was back in the 1950's. About 30 years later I had an outbreak and after some research, no internet in those days, used a mixture of flowers of sulfa mixed with lard. Never had an problems after that. If you do a search for waster oil for ringworm or flower of sulfur, you will find lots of positive comments.

[@dajayway]

we found if the docks were to strong the spray wouldnt work to great, theres a certain size leaf should be just after growing then spray, obviously if hard with weather and time love the videos keep up the great work

Ultraviolet kills ringworm. Sunshine is the best treatment according to vets in the U.S.

[@DOGSARETHEBEST.]

What was the purpose of the tail paint before the heifers went out to the field? P.s. another great video, as always.

[@IFarmWeFarm]

Just helps me to see if any animals are in heat, when they jump on each other the paint gets rubbed off and we can notice them easier. Simple and cheap but it works well

[@DOGSARETHEBEST.]

[@liammoore2543]

would you not find the petrol powerwasher more expensive to run than the pto?or was there ne specific reason for changing to a petrol from a pto washer?

[@IFarmWeFarm]

That’s a very good question, it’s to early for me to say but it does like it’s fuel. It all depends on the tractor too guess. I’d say there very little in the difference. The handiness though for me is just great, I was always rushing before hand as I would need to do other work with the tractor it would be on. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ritchiemullins6384]

What diseases/infections are u going try emulate when power washing??

Non really as washing won’t solve that, it’s just cleaner and easier to disinfect that way Ritchie

[@homey3051]

Feeding the algorithm, cheering on Let’s go Brandon!

[@S_Eglington]

Horrible thing to look at sums it up. Ringworm doesn't do a great deal of harm but it will spread freely through animals that haven't been exposed to it. They develop resistance fairly quickly and I would more inclined to put improvements in the level of infection down to that than most of the treatments you have been recommended. Last time the cows got it I did too. Canesten cream sped up the process a bit for me but the immune response was the ultimate solution. The farm has been free of it for a while now till the young ones get exposed to it again somehow. Then I'll have to look at it and wince for a while.

[@andrewsmith7700]

I use used engine oil!

[@wendyrowland7787]

I have come to the conclusion that although it’s very ugly, UV light fixes it. Perhaps a short daily dose of artificial UV light in the shed may help. Hyperoxide or creosote are quite good at destroying fungus on wooden fittings
