family farming: embracing the seasons

Hey guys, hope ye enjoy this week's video and seeing how our family dynamic works on the farm. We're very blessed to have three generations on the farm and how everyone has rowed in together during this difficult season.
Have a great weekend!
Maria, Padraig & all the Keanes

Remember, the source of your TB is still there in the fields so this is the start of going down with TB again in the future unfortunately. We decided to budget for another shed that can be used for storing straw/machinery etc but if we go down with TB, we can use that shed to house the extra calves like we are doing now. Love the videos btw 👍

That’s a great idea because it’s no good looking for something when you need it. And then the whole system ends up under pressure. Thanks very much, glad you like them 😊

Great video. Great to see family farm. I am farming and it's great when my boys come home from school and help me in the yard it gives me a great lift.

[@keanefamilyfarm]

Its good to see farming from a family point of view when traditionaly speaking you only see the person in front of the camera and you think they are doing it all by them selves
My uncle is farming on his own for years so he says
But myself and my brother have been working there since we were about 7or8 years old we work full time and try to help him out he is 84 years old about 150 ewes to lamb and 20 sucklers to calve
Fun times
Every farm dinamic is different
Farming is hard on a good day
Keep up the good work 😊

[@keanefamilyfarm]

Thanks very much Aidan! Yes it’s good to see everyone that’s involved and how things are really a team effort. Janey fair play to ye all.. that’s a busy set up he has at 84 years old but it probably keeps him going as well. I hope we can all stay farming that long 😊

Where did ya get the big milk heater? 😊

[@keanefamilyfarm]

We got it from Tirlán Craig. It’s not too bad.. the milk sticks to it sometimes making it hard to clean. We had one from Arrabawn before that was a bit better and never got bother until it gave up on us 😅

[@ciaranomalley9274]

God bless your family and great team Maria🙏🏻💞 .. this is real family farming .. why are the government trying to destroy this great way of life ?🤔

[@keanefamilyfarm]

Thanks very much Ciaran, we’re definitely blessed with all the great people we have around us 😊🙏🏼 Oh that’s a great question.. it does feel like family farming is becoming a bygone thing doesn’t it 🤔
