- We do some farming, write some code, fix some electronics, speak at an event, discuss our new "fancy" ag minister, investigate a red tractor rumour and make it home in time for milking.

Collars my dear man are what you need. They are a no brainer for a farm like yours.
Good man👍 I had to stay up myself to lesson to Tucker.
Well worth it.
Should get collars would pay for itself fairly quickly if your missing that many heats
I will absolutely make a video in a few months and see how my heat detection went and we can decide then!
Andrew use large coloured clothes pegs on head locks to identify the cows you want to serve......also sensehub collars would make your heat detection detection so easy
What a great idea!! We can all decides at the end of breeding about collars!
It the same, in Scotland
nice video, the idea of teach other non farm people is good make the videos like teaching more, nice videos
maybe worth a separate channel or something, not sure.
Cow manner is a grate tool for getting cows in heet you just checking the app on you phone
How have you tackled the interference from all that steel work around that RFID reader. What brand of reader and boards are you using. We’ve been having loads of bother with some we’re trying to use
RFID readers are a pain! The reader I use comes as a PCB and antenna coil, its a lot smaller than the plastic board. Read range is about 30cm, its easier since the animal stands at the drinker.
I'm curious what you listen to with the headphones during milking? AHDB webinars? UFO podcasts? The Rugby?
I have been asked this a few times, defiantly worth a tiktok! Lots of science and business. How I built this, Wisdom from the top, Lex Friedman, Joe Rogan, Extraordinary Lives. Farming podcasts suck, the one exception is probably Fed by Farmers tbh, only 2 episodes in but its good.
@@FarmTheoryNI cool, I find milking a great place to listen to and learn. AHDB I thought had quite a few good webinars on silage and sowing clover.
I must confess I spend far too much time listening to UFO podcasts and Rugby though.
I find Lex Friedman maybe a little unentertaining for me over such a long form.
Some things to look into if you haven't heard of them already are "Eavor Loop" and "Quaise Energy" both are involved with deep geothermal energy projects, which has a link to Northern Ireland, they are interested in it as it has a high temperature rise with medium depth needed, which could help cement the proof of concept( though Ever Loop is pretty cemented) with less early investment.
Why no auto scrappers. I have alfco hydraulic scrapers. Bullet proof
I just dont think we need them tbh, graze 220 days a year and its not a big job.
why do you leave calves in for so long ? do the calves get enough colostrum?
Honest answer is my dad likes to leave them on the cow for 36 hours and since he feeds them its a battle he gets to win.
Are you payed by volume or solids? Curious if your solids will rise in the next week and compensate for the lost volume?
Paid for volume over solids
@@FarmTheoryNI but did your solids rise?
Do you think Ag in the 6 counties would fare better in an All Ireland jurisdiction?
We are going to have to fight to try and avoid the situation ROI farmers are already in! Also, imo the fact our minister makes the ultimate decision and can't just blame the EU is a huge advantage.
How in the name of god did u keep that jumper clean all day ?
I think its my height... I'm further from the dirt!
I do fear for N.I farmers after hearing about the new Agri Minister!!
Its going to be as bad as you fear imo.
@@FarmTheoryNIclaire bailey climate agenda....passed 2 Yr ago,maybe going to come to life now the clown show is back....whilst all other countries are fighting to rid them selves of this CC..and dont let the cult of turncoats who are in the process off selling ag out get to u.....speak ur mind bro....farming media all bought and paid now too just look at the front of the farming life
We are f####d in simple terms, but its to be expected. Whats happening to farmers in europe is coming here soon.
Some set up.thire
Thanks!
Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but BVD sample testing appeared very soon after we were no longer required to test for brucellosis. Would this be a way to keep those civil servants in labs paid for by farmers 🤔🤫. If BVD sample testing stops I dread to think what they will dream up next.
makes sense to me!
With new agri minister farming is finished another eamon Ryan fiasco
havent watched the Putin interview yet Is it worth watching or did as BBC say he gave Putin an easy ride
Worth watching but kinda boring.
Guess I know what I'm going to hear. No surprises. Just a question of whose propaganda do I choose to believe
