5:49 for the head-on collision. Both calves left the field for a Head Injury Assessment, but later returned to play.
Again more interesting than ear to the ground... Well done
True. But that wouldn't be hard.
Top man phil great to see "dairy" bulls giving some sort of life thats animal kindness there top man keep up the good work
I really enjoy your video's explaining the beef trade, thank you for doing so. Great to hear that the shop is doing so well.
I know that this has no relevance to your process but the Jersey Boys have the sweetest faces. Love to see all the calves having a great time. Thank you for sharing.
Those Jersey calves are so pretty. All the calves were having a bit of fun, love seeing them play like that.
Fair play to ye Philip, at least these poor calves will have a chance now you have them, shiver to think where they would have ended up if you didn't step up for them, best of luck hopefully they'll all make around 550 kgs,
Hi Phil, would you do a video on the economics of the bulls you sold recently? Purchase price, cost of meal, bedding, grass, fixed costs etc? Would be interesting to see. Maybe take a good example and bad example ?
So many love hearts on heads amongst these calves 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Your videos make my day every time I watch them fare a plate for buying them
Great video Phil. You made a great point about some folks think its easy to get into rearing calves but there can be some out lay and not a lot oh return. Look forward to see how the Jersey Boys do for you
Interesting video.. Really looking forward to seeing how experiment with Jersey Boys go
Great video. They are beautiful calves.
Your animal videos are criminally underappreciated / underviewed Phil!! Very interesting video and agree with you on the potential for Jersey beef to generate similar profit per kg (or atleast not a loss) vs an Angus or BB that might make more at sale but probably costs a lot more in long term too! Too many fellas get caught up in the end price, not overall cost of production. Interesting too your take on economy of scale for ye that ye can make it work due to being such a large operation and also having equipment for silage and tillage etc, had never considered that and neither does IFJ or Agriland when they're advising the pros and cons of Dairy to beef.
Some Jersey beef has a lovely marble effect of fat running through which gives it great flavour.Well done Phil
you wont regret it, great animals
Good man Phil, be interested to see what will happen for this lot now, you might start a trend for pure jersey beef who knows 😂
Great videos keep up good work .love watching your videos
Them jersey bulls make great teasers I have one at the moment. Great vid Phil keep it up
Great 👌 video
Great video as always keep up the great video phil
They will beef belting. We beef all our pure breed jerseys bulls customers can't get enough of them. We found they do better left entire. All the best with them.
Good video 👍🏻
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice one Phil.
I like them jersey cream biscuits, made from the cream of the milk of Jersey cows.
Jerseys are a lovely calf
Hope they do well for you🌱💯
Interesting
Jersey lovely looking cattle
The full hundred, brilliant.
Best of luck with them Phil. 👍🏼
Can't bate anything the full 100 or free...best of luck with the jersey boiis and can't wait to see the finish product of what they look after they go through your system
Good on you Phil, as you say the fresian calves might not be picasso's, but someone has to rear them. And better they be reared here in ireland than in God only knows what in another country. And the fresian can be every bit as good to finish as a continental. So good on you for giving them the chance. And I wish you the best of luck with the pb jersey's. 👍
We got a few freebee jersey calves last year and they come on nicely I was surprised got a good bit of shape to them. If I was to sell them as stores I'd get shafted but if u finish them you can't go wrong
Nice one Phil nothin ventured nothing gained 👍🏻
Be sound for the shop eventually
Your our favourite farmers Phil and father.We love Ireland 🌈 we just love what you do and the welfare of your animals and we love seeing Bertie.🌈💚💚💓😷😷😷😷🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Great video
Nice👌😀
Tops Phil
Happy calves make great beef :D
Like the way you know some of them already... You should do a video on "the ones to watch". You'll know the 10-15 good lads across all the calves that should make the grade and see in two years time how those 10-15 fared out..
I can rhyme off a lot of numbers of different cattle and bits about them but can’t remember some of my neighbours names😂 but yes good idea👍
Will ye buy the Amazone? And where the Jersey boys advertised on donedeal in tipperary?
No they weren’t advertised they’re off a local farmer we work for
on my granddads farm we had a full pedigree herd of Jerseys we kept our bull calf's and two local butchers split them between them this was in the 50s
Great 👍 video farmer Phil 👩🌾 nice 👍 jersey bulls calf’s stay safe 👍👍👩🌾👩🌾🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🏴🚜🚜
He’s Irish 🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@Luke_Murnion how is lrish
can you get the boxes beef delivered? it is poible to get it delivered in a chilled box?
thanks
My grandfather was an old time dairy farmer. His cows were all registered Jerseys. By the time I came along, he no longer had a bull for breeding, but always said Jersey bulls were mean. I know he always was happy with a baby heifer, but not so if a cow had a bull calf. He never kept the bull calves. They never told me what happened to the bull calves, but I finally figured it out. So sad. The cows we had were so sweet and intelligent. I do know in later years he would breed his Jerseys to Angus. But, I no longer eat beef.
Good luck with them calves and as I always say they're all the same colour with their skin off it's all about taste
Jesus man, the what's my beef section is great. I really hope it takes off for you amongst city folk.
Would be a good video to hear about how the factory selection and dealing with them works, whether they bother about horns etc. Etc.
Unfortunately the factory is watching me and I have to be careful with what I say😂 they’ve already called me up over the picking bulls video
Jersey Bulls can be very hard to control when cows are around . But beautiful Animals when young . A Turd that's Irish? Greats videos
A turd😂 I meant 1/3
We do y budget buying here too lad had few jerseys after first winter they were nice lads and they sold fine I not fattening but they sold no problem cost is the Big thing
There good cattle if there well fed
How is the shop doing
Class video Phil
How many calves would the automatic calve feeder feed we are thinking of getting one
They recommend 120 but we’re at 154 and 160 on both feeders
Hi farmer Phil, love the channel and ejoy your talking about your calves.
Love to know how long do you feed calves with milk ?
The feeders are set to feed the calves for 70 days on milk but I’ll go through the calves before they’re weaned to make sure there fit to be weaned
they are so stinkin' cute. The hoof GP calls Jerseys "little brown devils". And how is the Dexter doing, we havent seen it for a while?
She’s great just moved to fresh ground for the summer. Unfortunately won’t be seeing her till June
Jerseys are very inquisitive and kinda nosey compared to most other breeds
are these intact bulls or are they steers? i found that steers put on weight the fastest
Intact bulls
I farm bulls in new Zealand rear them from our dairy herd do some Jerseys as well get excellent ones but some dont grow big enough frames like the frsn find dairy shorthorns are best for fatting muscle up and good frame aim for 300kg carcass as r3s on just grass interesting system you have
What age you kill the bulls at ?
Whats the live weight ?
@@kylenorth7448 18mths to 27mths 500 to 700 kg lw
18 to 27 thats a wide gap
Do you pick on fat score or whats your method for deciding what goes to slaughter ?
Where did u get the calves from
We have our first JEX calf....bought him in for finishing...he's a Belgium blue out of a Jersey cow. He's doin very well actually
Just wondering how do ye make ur own meal and do ye do a lot of arable,tillage farming
We grow around 240 acres of crops to feed the cattle
@@FARMERPHIL3690 sound boss
whered you get the boys from?
One of our contracting customers
I’m 19 and I have calves
Fair play👏
@@nicklad9463 sound
@@nicklad9463 I ment I’m 10
You should try out jersey x gurney they seam to be really big cattle
How many calves do you have now Phil
320
@@FARMERPHIL3690 are you going to get many more
I understand you want can break even with dairy beef cattle but wouldn’t there still be more profit out of the likes of charolais
Not at the price the charolais calfs are £400+ in the local mart.
Can you deliver beef to northern Ireland?
we can yes
@@FARMERPHIL3690 thank you

At the moment I'm selling British friesan bull calves for 50 euro , sold some for 35 at 3 weeks old at the mart.... The same type of animal ten years ago at the same age was making 200. Have the same customers coming to me for years looking for fr bull calves. What is happening with some of the dairy bull calves is disgraceful.
My neighbour bought Whitehead bull and freisin bull calves from me a few years ago... They were slaughtered at the same age , weighed the same and were priced the same. Some were actually heavier than the whiteheads but didn't grade the same
The cheap prices are justified for Jersey calves but some of us got screwed for the last few years.... So much so, that I'm using sexed semen from now and a good source of freisin bulls is gone of the market. Sorry for the rant but I'm fed up with the bullshit. Fine calves with the ability to feed a whole family for a year given a bad name and some other lad making all the money at the end along with the factories
Great to see you making some use for em Phil and not being exported or slaughtered at home in Ireland for veal.
the more people that convert to the dairy the more calves will be for sale at this time of the year ........ also the grid in the factory hammers the poorer o grade cattle , and as for the p grade its robbery ........... 2 reasons for the decline in calf prices ..........

I milk jerseys in CT USA and I raise all my jersey bull calves for beef
Do you finish them as bulls ?
What age you kill them at ?
What is the carcass weight ?
@@kylenorth7448 l castrate them raise them 2yrs 1300 pds
Cheers
Why did you stop milking cows❓
They had issues with TB which wiped out their milking herd a few years back
Oh
Y don’t u buy good calves like blues
Cause you'd get 10 these fr price of a blue u tool
One trailer load of blue calves would probably cost more than the 160 calves in that shed combined
@@conorbrady3101 what value would you put on the increased feed efficiency of the blues versus the jerseys .......and what value would you place on the saleablity of the blue at any stage of its life compared to the jersey .............?
