It's really good that you are going to take time off when the baby comes. You'll be a big help to Joanna and you will have a chance to really bond with the baby. Best wishes for an easy delivery!

Hi Papa Tom. Yes, I think it is good to go spend time with Mama Pemberton and rubs her belly. I'm sure she'd like that !! Waiting on Baby Pemberton's Arrival "Watch this Space!!"

[@teresabrewer2661]

Hi Tom, I'm so glad you're taking time off to be with Jo & baby. Bonding time is so precious and never forgotten 🤗 My son had his 1st child 3 weeks ago and she's so precious 💞💞💞

Same here, Tom deserves to just have time off with his new family. It will be time you can never get back to spend with your new baby because your kid is only young once!

Give you Dad our best wishes, we all hope he is on the mend, and that his liver function is back to how it should be, your Dad is a massive influence on you channel Tom, he is a massive star, and an amazing farmer, sometimes he might have what appears to be 'dumb' idea's but he is trying to improve the farm, the animal welfare always comes first, so keep up the good work.

[@andyguy0610]

Tom, I have got to say how lucky you are to have a Dad like your Dad! the amount of knowledge he has is fantastic and its great to see you listening to what he has to say. I do not think you ever stop learning!. One day you will be passing this onto your kids and the cycle continues. All the best to you all from a very wet and windoy Telford (shropshire)

Hey Tom, can you maybe do a video once where you explain which buildings belong to the farm and where they are? Big overview with a drone shot or so? Always a bit confused there seem to be multiple sheds but no idea how far they are apart a few km’s? Across the road?

[@radharcanna]

I’m confused too.

[@monikajohnson8236]

The barns in today’s are down the road from the home farm and believe are rented.The barn where he did outro @12:20 is home farm,the new build.

[@samson1200]

Good video Tom! I think you just highlighted the need to build a brand new huge hay barn for all your hay to store it nice and dry and have ample room to feed cattle in the winter! Something like 200' x 300' with concrete it should solve a lot of your feed stores.

[@everestyeti]

Your dad's brilliant, glad he hasn't got gout that's really painful. Let's hope the liver thing is easy to treat and not too serious. Glad you're taking time out to be with the family, I was lorry driving when my kids were little, have always regretted not being there when they were little. Used to leave early on a Monday and come back home on a Saturday, they changed so much even in a week. Mind you not as bad as the guys and gals that serve in the military, who might not see them for months at a time or even not get the chance to see them at all. 👍

Tom all my prayers for your Dad I know it’s not something everyone wants to hear, but being part of life you never want it to come your way and then it does and it makes everyone think about life a whole lot more so I just pray that your dad is good for several years to come because he has grandchild on the way and my wish is that many happy years are yet to come, take care Tom.

Good man Tom, spend as much time as you can with the baby when it arrives. Before you know it he or she will be walking around the farm with you!!

Them fittings are fine unless they have been bent from impact or if u don't unpresursie them before taking off the machine and putting them back on ...if u don't u are fighting hydraulic pressure still left in the pipes

[@davidminish5421]

Hi Tom, to say danger never takes a day off. Health and safety definitely was on holiday the day this was filmed. Quad bike with no helmet, bale spikes left at head height. Be careful, would hate to see an injury

[@radharcanna]

Tom’s so concentrated on filming and talking to camera that he doesn’t seem to see the dangers. Especially so during silage-making, when he’s running up and down the clamp with tractors and heavy JCBs reversing everywhere. It makes me nervous!

[@KEVwbrown]

Them fittings are flat face hydraulic fittings which are designed not to leak, unlike traditional fittings which weep slightly when coupling/uncoupling

[@davidepool5884]

Training your cows to come when called saves a lot of foot work. Our cows would come when called at milking time from around a quarter of a mile away. Some of them would always come in before milking time. The same cows were always the first to be milked morning and evening. You should eventually build a news barn for your calves and hay storage. Calves on one side and hay storage on the other. That way you wouldn’t have to store your hay and straw in your loafing barns.

[@PuFFerTV98368]

Thanks for the video Tom. ✌️

[@jamesgill2697]

Tom u could wrap the hay and leave outside cheap shed for 200 quid or so

[@philipasbury9173]

Lot of cattle weathered this autumn, housed my cows a month earlier than normal this year, not good for grass based farm but the system is flexible luckily. Could you not put the midden outside? The shed it’s stored in looks great for straw and hay storage. Hope the parlour is settled in 👍

[@andrewduke1489]

[@Harry-zz8qn]

2 minutes, 5 minutes, 1/2 + That’s brilliant😂 I’m going to start saying that from now on! Please get it on a T-shirt. “How long is it going to take.. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 1/2+” So funny!

[@ianparker3486]

Great video Tom

[@cavangrasslands4174]

Hi Tom, Personally from a nutritional perspective I would advise keeping your hay and feeding silage/selco to your beef animals. Because the Hay is so dry, dry matter intake will be lower and so will result in reduced performance. Protein generally is lower in hay vs. silage, which is a necessity of driving performance in young stock (not as relevant in fat cover in finishing animals). What about stacking it on pallets outside and covering with a tarpaulin? I would even suggest doing a mix with the Keenan and put in one bale per day of the hay, I feel that would work better than hay alone. It will still prolong your silage as much as feeding all hay now to then switch to all silage when hay is gone, and be less of a digestive change when that switch occurs! Just my opinion! Happy to chat further if you wish! Thanks Tom & team, great content as always!

[@kelex12]

Your Dad measures time like mine does. When he says it will take about 5 minutes, that probably means 30 minutes to an hour. LOL!

The hydraulic fittings are called flat face couplings. I hate them too. If it was your own loadall I'd switch everything to the normal type.

You could have stacked the bales up higher then had a couple of bays at the end of the shed for a few cattle and put a few bales down the far end of the feed passage

How is the remodel going of the house,? are you close to being done? Hope you will show all you've soon done to it. Must have been alot, it's been quite awhile. That brush squeaking needs greased. Do you tag the beef cattle different from the dairy ones? Has your meat been selling more in the store? Should you cover the pipe to the parlor bin things can get In there you don't want, a simple cap will do .
