There is a $Million Dollar$ invention in ya, Mr. Morris! Your inventiveness and problem-solving is part of who you are and you think everyone else is like you . . . we aint! Agri machine companies would pay well for your feedback and improvement ideas. Continued success.
Holy moley. That was a close call with the drone and the power line. That Mini 3 is having some close calls with its life 🤣
Close to the power line with the drone there😂
Well spotted, I said a couple of choice words to myself when it happened! Very lucky this time 🙈
Girls are getting used to the camera 👍. You can see them growing up before your eyes and have footage that will be nice to look back at in the future 🤗
Having always lived in the city, I find everything about farming fascinating. I'm also blown away by how hard farmers work and it seems to be 24/7. I haven't seen the giant scissor thing you cut the bales with before, what a fantastic invention!
Houses are looking well prepared Adrian and by all accounts gladly received by it’s occupants with a welcoming dinner. Enjoy the autumn whilst we have it 🍂🥮
That is somw job for cutting the sillage up..never seen that before.
It will be a long winter, i bought 6 angus heifers myself this week. Getting back into a few cows again.😂 I'll be onto you for tips
Watching those bales get cut in half. It’s so satisfying. ASMR.
Brilliant stuff Aiden. I like the way your content is based on your own farm work and your ability to problem solve/fix and maintain everything yourself. I commend your originality and not opting to go down the constant promotional route like others. There’s other guys at it full time now, there obviously getting the stuff for free but there failing to declaring it legally. Retired accounting here! Anyways we also watch the Sheep Shepard now, great channel not fare from us in Kerry.
Always a pleasure bio
Keep up the great work Adrian. I enjoy your videos and content is most interesting. Ignore the begrudgers. Best wishes from a non farmer but it's in my blood.
Re Lime spreader, That would be the Deluxe model😆
what a lovely clean farm......Great video.
Interesting to hear you use the word ‘clatty’. Apparently it’s of Scottish origin. You have a whole language of your own in Cavan!
You even have an attachment for cutting the bales in half. Well impressed
It is sad that winter time is arriving, but it looks like you are prepared. I wish we had a little of your rain here in north Florida. Take care and keep the excellent videos coming...
Central Florida needs rain too. Maybe next week.
We need your rain that your getting in Tulsa Oklahoma USA. I always enjoy watching your videos.
It's a long way to Tulsa 🎵
24 hrs
Great video as usual, don't panic everyone is in the same boat no pun intended, it is wet but its been worse loads of times, silage looks great and you know yourself the smell off silage tells you all you need to know, cleaning the close is a great job I don't mind it and when your finished you can really see what you have done and gives you that self satisfaction feeling, cows look in great order Adrian, good luck to you all keep up the good work
In fairness ground is after drying here an awful lot last 2 days
Thanks Adrian for another great video a really appreciat the time and effort you put in to making them
If you get an odd half middling day every few weeks let them out fir a run, thats what we do at home, especially if there was a good frost,
Can't speak buddy! Got mouth full of words! Well done banging game! 🏴🙏🇮🇪
Some.grafter yard sheds looking good organisation's is key success
Cleaning those lights make some difference in the shed,
Workshop’s lookin well, we need a full tour!
Silage looks very well,i hate fecking round baled,0 graze and pit,no smelly clothes and hands,no heaps of plastic and twine 2 store,no jumping up and down tractor,i try work smarter not harder,just my system,ive 50 bales 2 many,well done cracking vid on your feeding
2nd cut n2 pit 2 tg
Wild good audio with that wireless microphone. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the show guys 🍻🇦🇺
Video sounded great Adrian, I know its a pain, but the mic really does help in the windy conditions (also when your girls are filming from a bit further away) so stick with it if you can? Would probably be worth having a sealable bag with some silica gel in it to put the mic away in and help dry it out after the poor weather.
We are having a second summer here in the west Adrian half the cows still out yet but ground is damp
Great updated, All the best!
That is a great way ro spread barn lime. We carried the bag on one arm and cast it out with the other. I ceat a lot and used a bucket to hold the lime i strugged to hold that heavy bag with 1 arm.
Look on the bright side its now tinkering and fixing season too. Of coure more time with the family as well.
Take care stay dry and warm
You deserve a case of beer 🍻
Early to have cows in ,but is out of your control, Great win rugby🏉
Nice video Adrian, it's very early to have cows in but that is year 23 for you, a neighbour of mine used to call it, back to the 💩
Shame you had to bring in the Cows earlier than expected, but they look really happy to be under cover. Hopefully the rest of your bales will be as good as the 1st few and that you'll have enough feed to last the winter.
Great video Adrian very well put together. It’s crazy how the winter sneaks up on you. Our cattle are in now a few weeks, unfortunately we have to use the digger and the hand fork to put in the silage as someone undermined the concrete feeding ramp when digging out the soil 🤦♂️ I am very impressed with that bale splitter u have.👍
Great jobs/video Adrian 👍🏆❤ That was so interesting watching how the bails are distributed out to the cow sheds, those glawry path must be a pain in the wellies😲 I was 😂 at the 🐄🐄🐮 coming over for a wee nosey, at beginning of video 😂 and "chew chains" 😂 good to see your girls, and helping out with the camera 👍 Have a lovely day/evening chillaxin with your feet up and a🍺❤
Well
Hi Aidrian, I'm pleased I'm not the only one that notice that the birds went missing,🤨
Your right about the improved brightness in the winter house. Plus it looks so clean.
Adrian pushing that mud by hand is too MUCH difficult hand work. I have very distant memories of the silage smell. I long to smell it again. You and your family work long and hard to enjoy that smell. Thank you for sharing. 🐄🇮🇪🐄🇺🇸🐄
Great video Adrian. It’s a challenge with the bad weather. Enjoyed watching 👍🏼
Great job, must have a bit of a change in plans, I thought you were going to start with the pit to clear it out, finish up with the round bales.
Happy cows happy farmer
Another great video Adrian the silage bales looks good stuff 👍👍👍
What kind of meal do you use in the winter time? Protein/ main ingredients etc. And do you change your meal when you change onto your clamp silage?
I always find it so weird that over there it’s so wet and in other parts of Canada and the USA it’s so dry.
I find it so weird over here that you think Ireland is just another part of Canada / USA
Google 🤔
Just get a bale shear man ! What a carry on that slice thing on the back is . Nobody touches silage anymore
Great video you mite get them out again next week at night aswell temperatures ment to rise
The Bluetooth mic and Sofia's camera work went exceptionally well together (has she been taking classes on videography? :D) I've noticed everything getting better and better on the channel and I have to say, great work my good sir (and girls).
Great video , I started following you because of farmerP and funky farmer, find it interesting as I grew up on a small farm in the 1960s.
Great video Adrian tidy spot
Great job... somehow its nice seeing the cattle in and sheltered and grass getting some time off.😅. Just thought I mentioned a fishing rod harness on one of your last vids and had a second thought.. your probably going to have a decent strimmer with a harness so shure you could probably adapt that... stay safe 🏴 .ps the mic did well..
Wicked bale slicer......scarey movie material
Nice one Adrian, and Girls, i think you should build a new lime spreader, no better man to do it, keep at her Lad!
It's a long time to have cows in.Could be Seven months in at night. Just Crazy
They’ll be in full time probably mid week coming, paddocks are very wet now and already badly pouched so just not worth it. Hopefully we’ll get a normal spring so we can turn them out in March.
@@IFarmWeFarm Our cattle will be in this month, won’t be out until May.🙈
You need a zero grazer buddy
Using a stoneage system for feeding bales when a sheergrab would do all that without leaving cab
It must be Sunday- another vid!☘️👍
Such a good way with ya
round bale silage looks superb
I also find if you leave the spikes in 1/3rd up and split the bale partially. Then pull out and back in with the spike at the base to split the rest of the way
Great video
Love to see it.
Good morning Adrian, I think we need to send you to Olly Bloggs to tidy his workshop. 😊😊😊
Lovely video to watch after the huge flood yesterday. 😊
Great video Adrian 👌
Would putting the foam on the slats make the power washing a bit easier Adrian would it help break the dirt down
clear yard as usual
Nice workshop.... 😉👍
Bales look good 👍
Brilliant video adrian you wouldnt be able to do a review on a bale unroller id love to see how they work or are they a good job 👋👍👌
Good stuff. Do you ever try quartering the bales? Easier fork
Put a new knife at the end of the blade.😂😂 no need just change the blade at the end of the knife.😊
Excellent as usual
Cleaning the lane looked back breaking😱
Make a scraper for the backactor of the 50B, Adrian. I made one for our Mini excavator and wouldn't be without it. a thumb is also another great addition.
Comment for the algorithm to help the channel 👍 .
How do you separated the cows, so there isnt to many cows in one shed, instead the are separated evenly between each shed?
Hi Adrian, great video as always. Was wondering are you going to do another mini series on Bale Shear Grabs (get a couple more out for demo) for the front loader? Or are you sticking with your rear bale splitter?
How would the Petrol scraper work on the outside pass Adrian.?
Funy why you think of there been less birds, it's true, cause soon (hopefully) you will come to realize that you create your own reality. Hence you can do the same with the weather.
Not being a farmer but finding what you do and how you do it really intersting, what is the reason for spreading lime in the byre?
To disinfect the bed so as to prevent disease spreading.
How do ya find the yolk u use as a knife? Looks a great job
jesus adrian winter seems to get longer we have weanlins in cows still out for another while hopefully.
Great video, really takes me back to working on a dairy farm in NZ about 20 years ago. How many cows are you milking?
Concrete the lane , 1 st job for 50B a bay at a time. If funds allow.
Monaghan for Sam 🏆
Did you give up on the loader grab for removing plastic.?
If in doubt, give it a clout…😂
milkem first before feeding them then let them trickle into feed pens
Hi there Adrian just wondering are you going to hang up the shrubs in your sheds again this year I couldn't see any
I was wondering about that myself. Adrian said it worked well.
I love your video
Good morning, Adrian. I was just wondering if you have ever considered putting the bale splitter onto the front loader? That is the way I have mine set up. I find it easier to work that way, and you can work it like a grab when you want to spread out an open bale.
does it work well for you?
I have thought about doing that, so you find it much handier? Not a bit long on the front end 🤔
@kieranosullivan02
Yes, I find that it works well for me. Everything is in front of you, and it is just a case of pushing half left or right.
@IFarmWeFarm
It does make everything a bit longer. But I find that when everything is in front of you that it is a lot easier to push each half left or right or push it all to 1 side using the loader.
Researching My Irish Family Tree, I discovered a reference to My Paternal Grandmother being a one of a Triplet.
Then by chance I saw the reference to you having a daughter and a set of twins, all born in the same year, being referred to as “Irish Triplets” which caused Me to research the phrase further.
And discovering that QUOTE
Years ago, when three children were born to the same mother within three years, they were called "Irish triplets.
UNQUOTE
This piece of information then, certainly increases the complexity of My Paternal Grandmother’s family.
And just think then, I likely wouldn’t have discovered this if not for the fact I watch your CZcams channel.
Just wondering if you r missing ur bale trailer
Our cows are still out but the can go into the house if they want and they are getting silage in the yard
Where did you get the yellow bale cutter knife ?
Why not move some 2 second cut bales get first cut bales feed them 50 / 50 and fed second bales t😊o the heifers and sell second cut bales.
If in doubt give it a clout 😅
You guys have Halloween I thought it was a American thing
Believe it or not but Halloween started in Ireland around 2,000 years ago. From the Samhain Celtic Festival which was a celebration of end of harvest
Thank you for telling me because I didn't know that so have happy Halloween to you guys to
Mother of Divine....!!

oh and how's hudson
I had a quick look on Google to see if there was a push-along (hand propelled they seem to call them) lime spreader. There were, but all seem to be for spreading in the direction of travel and not from the side. Not really useful for spreading lime in the bedding area. I thought that a mechanical ground driven one on wheels would make life a little easier on your arms and wouldn't involve any electronic motor to get damaged. I suppose someone as innovative and ingenious like yourself could adapt one, but it is probably time you don't have and probably not worth the time, money and effort anyway. Looks like you are better off with what you've got. Even though you have to sacrifice a drill every once in a while.
Your drone came horrid close to death at 1:01 😬👀
Will you add some extra feed as calving time approaches?
Only only needed, cows are already carrying good condition but if we feel the silage isn’t good enough we’ll add some roll barley Tom
Thanks for that; just wondering about the saying that in early lactation a cow milks off her back and also for a cow carrying twins.@@IFarmWeFarm
I know where all the crow's are in a field of oats I have 😢
Would you ever think of trying one of those straw blower/silage feeders that fit on 3 point linkage or is it something you’ve tried but isn’t any better ? Great video again keep them coming.
