    My Mother was in Hospital in South Australia and the Nurse assigned to her came from Cappoquin in County Waterford, which coincidentally was My Mother’s hometown.

    What a great story! Hello Finbar 👋
    You're right Adrian, big but small world.
    (Also hello to Bord Bia from Suzanne (ex NSF admin))
    Wonder whether I used to talk to your Bord Bia man on the phone, Adrian 😀

    It is so great to see the thought and pride you put into your projects.
    It is so nice to see a mid week video. You should teach the daughters how to put together a video so you can upload more. But I suppose your filming takes time too. What's up with the cottage? Is it done and rented yet?
    Lastly, have you ever thought about making a video of your funny outtakes?
    Great to hear from you. Enjoy the milking break. Hopefully you will be able to get away for a little bit with your ladies. That would be great for your family.

    Nice tidy job on fitting the calving gate, especially extending the barrier.
    We fitted the old crush gate to calving pen when we upgrade the crush and it worked very well, cheaper too. Best to check how you can open the locking bar if the cow goes down. They should have a quick release pin to prevent choking.

    Great job Adrian. Impressed by the amount of tools you have - makes the job much easier. Only question is why not have a dedicated spanner for the gate hinges? I have - saves knuckles 😹

  • @bobuncle8704

    Nice fabricating Adrian. That was such a cool small world story.
    I’m From Ontario, Canada. I was travelling through Texas with some friends in the late 80’s, and we were pulled over by a local. He’d seen the Ontario plates, and wanted to talk. There were 10 million people in the province at the time, and he asked me…”Do you know so and so?”(name withheld to protect the innocent😇). Well wouldn’t you know, they guy he was asking about was a close friend of my brothers. We wound up having dinner at a local restaurant, and having a grand old chat. Kind of mind blowing that on a continent with a population of about 300,000,000, we could connect, just because he’d seen Ontario plates and had a longing to talk to someone from his original home town. Yes, it also turns out I was familiar with who he was after we’d gotten to talking.
    Adrian, you’re so right, it is a Big world, but sometimes it’s also a very small world at the same time.

  • @douglasmorton6121
    @douglasmorton6121 Před 6 měsíci +3

    Nice work! That turned out really well! You've got some talent there! We used to eat something or drink milk before welding anything that had a galvanized coating on it, as the fumes are poisonous. We were taught that it cuts down on the absorption of the fumes. I'm not quite sure how though, but I never got sick when we took that preventive measure. Anyway... thanks for the video! Stay Safe Folks!!!

    Few sheets of stockboard on that front gate would be ideal now and keep any draft off the cows and calf’s when calving

    Hi Adrian I have a video of our calving setup on my channel if you're interested. We have the capability to swing the calving gate to either side to not have to shift cattle when calving. It's unreal for us getting calves to suck and safety is so so much better than it was before! Our gates are Condon engineering though and they can extend our for better leverage

  • @andrewjones-productions
    @andrewjones-productions Před 6 měsíci +3

    @w056007568 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Very good looking job there and your efforts for weighing up the best location seemed spot on. Well done.
    Only thing I would possibly add could you use the other gate fittings locations in the back wall as somewhere to install a couple of rings in each pen that you might tie up an animal to on a halter or even hang a hay net. its obvious there is plenty of other suitable metal work elsewhere in each pen for this purpose so perhaps not.
