TRYING SOMETHING NEW THIS YEAR
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 7 hodinami
In today's video I've gotten some lick buckets gifted from Agritech so I'll be trying them out but also creating something to keep the badgers out of them and then I'm back to the usual, moving cattle, fertiliser and topping. To have a look at lock buckets check out the link agritech.ie/
A NIGHTMARE END TO CALVING 2024
zhlédnutí 21KPřed 16 hodinami
Days like this make me wonder if I'm cut out for this farming life.
NOT WHAT I WANTED TO BE AT IN MAY
zhlédnutí 26KPřed 14 dny
Today's video was recorded on an evening about 10 days ago. Grass just wasn't growing fast enough on some of the grazing ground so we had to do what we had to do.
CAN WE TURN THIS INTO GRASS?
zhlédnutí 20KPřed 14 dny
In today's video we get stuck into the reseeding and when I say "we" I mean the contractors but of course I played my little part with the 135 and the spreader as well. Hope you enjoy!
ANOTHER FARM HACK BY DAD
zhlédnutí 18KPřed 21 dnem
In today's video I'm replacing posts and fixing up fencing around the farm. Small jobs in multiple fields but great to get it done. Dad came up with a great idea to remove the end of a broken post to keep things looking neat.
TIME TO SEE WHAT THE 390 CAN DO
zhlédnutí 33KPřed 28 dny
Today's video was recorded last week in the middle of some very wet and cold weather. Things were bad in terms of grass growth and the cattle just weren't happy but I was out in the 390 for its first proper run and it did not disappoint.
ONE FINAL BIG JOB FOR THE LOADER
zhlédnutí 21KPřed měsícem
Today's video involves the cleanup of the cattle aftermath.
CATTLE ARE OUT & DESTROYING THE PLACE ALREADY...

The cattle are out at least and it wouldn't be a Suckler farm if there wasn't some destruction along the way. Hope you enjoy!
TURNS OUT 375KG DOESN'T FIT IN THE WAGTAIL...
zhlédnutí 28KPřed měsícem
It's time to get the fertiliser and this video was taken before the weather improved so it was another game of Tetris trying to get everyone to fit. We almost made a costly mistake with the fertiliser but we managed to sort it out. GPS: www.gypsy.ie/ Loader: everunireland.ie/
THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!
zhlédnutí 29KPřed měsícem
In today's video I start off with some jobs with the calves and then move onto the problem of yet again not enough room in the shed. We soon get a surprise though and it was a hard earned one. For more information on herdwatch: herdwatchng.app.link/Hvq4NaZSXEb
LETS GET THE MUCK OUT OF HERE!
zhlédnutí 24KPřed měsícem
In today's video I might be overly ambitious but I'm trying to get rid of the heap of muck with my mini muck spreader and loading it with the Everun. We also had a new addition to the farm. Loader: everunireland.ie/
IMPROVING FENCING THE SMALL SUCKLER WAY & OUR FIRST CALF IS A GOOD ONE
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 2 měsíci
In today's video I'm taking advantage of the drier weather and started to clear the fencing on a patch of ground that wasn't touched for years. Briars, furse and Sallys were cut back before driving stakes and tightening the wire. Tough work but good result. Eventually our first calf arrived a week after her due date but he's a good one!
WIDE LOAD ON THE MOVE & DIY CALVING PEN
zhlédnutí 19KPřed 2 měsíci
In today's video I finally got around to moving the slats that were thrown in the ditch for months with the help of Dad. Calving is only days away so I needed to make a second pen as both cows are due a day apart and I got the yearlings weighed for good measure.

    Drain repairs or renewed, lime and slurry or bedding muck and those rushes will die off. The 390, a great tractor and that is a fine example too!

    Can't fault you Karen, main thing is you get stuck in and have a go, and correct any mistakes. That's all anyone can do. And the only fully independent person would be living on a desert island, so no shame getting some help here and there. I think you're doing a fine job, and have a lovely nature about you. If you get one of those extending wheel nut socket/brace/ things, you'll have no problem with wheel nuts. And after ringing calves, just check both plums are in the bag. Brilliant fun.

    At 15, I started work on a farm, and was told by a 85yr old farmer, something that he said I would never forget. If you can see the mountains, it's going to rain, if you can't see them, it's raining. He was right, I haven't forgotten it, 60yrs on.

  • @raymondrobinson4047
    @raymondrobinson4047 Před 16 hodinami

    Karen,easy to see why you got 10/acre.....grass still wet. Would have paid you to ted out the grass. At least 3 bales/acre less. I used to do what you did,but soon caught on to tedding.....less bales to pay for,less to stack/handle,keep their shape better and at the end of the day the same grass is compacted into less bales. I think you will still need a decent 2nd cut. Contractor also driving too fast to properly roll a bale tight....they won't care you have 200 bales off 10 acre!! I had similar looking crop,also baled with a fusion 3,chopped..6 bales/acre. As you may now sense.....I detest soft bales!!!!😢😢😢
