put some straw through the baler when you finished.......leaving hay in there rusts the bale chamber........straw doesn't rust cos it doesn't heat up like hay does

Thanks for the video Richard. Excellent vid. Such a big job!

slurry is becoming a big problem on many larger scale dairy farms......a lot of time / money /machinery involved. i got a neighbour who built a slurry store next to a river back in the late 70's, needless to say they have now got the environment agency on there back so they talked of building a new earth bank store up on top the hill and then tankering it or pumping it up there from there farm which is beside the river but the Dartmoor National Park refused there planning aplication but the national park would allow them to build a new store on the existing site which is next to the river........but the environment agency won't allow that because it's less than 12 metres from the river........not much joined up thinking going on there between the national park and the environment agency

Brilliant Job Richard , and your man Gareth didn't hang around at getting it done . 👍👍

Would ye not bring in the digger driver for dinner ? We Irish always feed driver s.

nice soil digging # but will U store liquid manure or something other ??? # awesome British farmer girls & dad #❤️🇵🇰

how much gallons is your slurry pit gonna hold

In Northern Ireland, that lagoon must have a liner installed and you will soon have to cover it to stop ammonia escaping. Surprised at the difference in regulations between different parts of the UK.

How often do you think you will have to empty that pit?

Hi do u put a liner on the tank

Great Video . Will be great to see it working and how you maintain and use it .👍

How many gallons

Surprised to see so much ragwort around fence were cows are grazing

What are your rules regarding roofing of slurry stores? They are hinting that in England 2027 they need to be roofed

My dear uncle is a farmer and he says its getting harder and harder every year to survive because the fucking robbers called government take away some subsidies and put them in their own fucking pockets its ridiculous because we really need the farming industry as if they don't survive there will be no animals in the UK

why is the video been cropped

why is the video cropped or not fully sized?

Between the government/supermarkets/ Europe, I really don’t know how farmers can survive, buy British and keep sisters in wellies smiling. ❤

🎉🎉🎉

Well planned out, good machine man, the making of a very tidy job. Again very good and informative video.

It is worrying for a lot of farmers because the supermarkets are paying the farmers so little they can't afford to make such big investment, a lot of farmers are selling up because they can't afford the regulations the government are bringing in.

Well done Richard, fantastic video diary of construction Certainly looks to be a deep pit, should hold plenty of slurry Digger driver has done a 1st class job for you I take it, the slurry will need double handling, tanking from farm to pit, from pit to field, but unavoidable with distance Be careful Dawn wild swimming in quarries lol Take care all

Fab u lous vid love the day by day and what a great job love the way you planned everything from mixing platform to the grass seed 😅 Can't wait to see it all fenced and ready to poop and roll 😅

Afternoon sister n dad in boots lol

Hi.keep up the great work .

Ladys- I've calved 1000s of cows, all ages, different breeds, x breds, yields, all yr round or mainly autumn calving and I've never had a fresh cow of any age with staggers- yes a very odd one early spring, never on grass this time of the year. The mag sub cut is a bit of over kill. And talking of putting stuff in the vein, I take it you know not to put magnesium in the vein? Stops a cows heart. I learnt that the very hard way a long long time ago. Calcium ok if done slowly n better if warmed a little. Carry on fermin!

soon as i heard that voice on radio 2 i thought i know that voice and it was you very good drum selection i had it onfull blast in my truck nice to hear you have fun you and your family

Great vid, I wondered if the cows missed their calf so thanks for showing how relaxed and happy they are.

25:05 Why do dogs feel the need to lick cow dung.

24:06 Great T-shirt, The Man...The Legend. 🙂 To be fair some dads are great.

23:44 F**ken hell......calves are fast alright......they should be in the olympics.

18:50 The reflectice overalls by Dad are a good idea, safety first. Herding calves is hard work to be honest.

awesome new born calf # good oral administration of Calcium to prevent hypocalcemia # U inserted needle & canula very fast which provide witness of UR experience # love U both ❤ British dairy farmer girls #🇵🇰

Fantastic content once again. Also loved your air drum anthem this morning

Lovely care

Love your channel.

hi

What do you with the bull calfs

Great educational content. Well done. 👍

One the most vivid images that I remember from reading All Creatures Great and Small many years ago, was the "new" approach to treating milk fever in the 1930's. Harriot described it as though raising a cow down with hypocalcemia, "from the dead". Because there really was nothing a farmer could do to save them, before IV and subcutaneous calcium became widely available. The farmers saw the vet as a hero when the sick and dying cow miraculously recovered in a short time. It was an interesting time for veterinary treatments, because of the scientific breakthroughs becoming available to replace what were often just quack powders and "cures" that really did nothing but give a placebo effect for the farmer. So the could feel better for the money they paid a vet. Even in the late 1960's when I began working with horses, there were still a lot of those useless "drops" and magic cures being used that really did nothing at all. Now, just 8 decades from Herriot's first practice later, farmers have access to effective drugs and treatments they can use with confidence in their effects.

That was great to see how easy you handled them, is it always that easy or were you just lucky with that?

❤

Another excellent, informative video, well done girls Hope the rest of the family are keeping well and not buckling under the seasonal pressures of harvest

👏💚 Welcome to Morocco

Sir, I am looking for a job on a farm.

Always takes the lasting one out en clean the machine before store it.😮

the best part of making small bale hay is you reseed the field while you shake it out and row the hay up

Small bales are always the best things to have

From watching a few of ye re videos which are the best on utube I kinda think your dad is really hard on josie.

Mercedes.
