Managing grazing in dry conditions
Spreading fertiliser
Milking 400 cows through a 60 stall rotary Parlour
My name is Mark Collins. From growing up and working on my family farm in Ireland, I have developed a strong passion for agriculture. As people become more concerned about where their food comes from, it is vitality important that the right information is at their fingertips. Through my Instagram account and CZcams channel, I show the day-to-day running of our grass based dairy farm and how we work hard to continuously improve our business in-line with our focus on Social, Economic and Environmental Sustainability.
Support Sustainable Agriculture and leave the place better than you found it.

Helo bro nice to meet you my name is aep i from Indonesian
20 kilos of hay and 80 liters of water all have to go somewhere...and it doesn’t smell of roses but sure makes the pasture grow!
Great video and it shows what a hard worker you are. Thanks for continuing to posts new videos.
Hi buddy just recently found your channel. Looking forward to watching your videos
Great vid la'🤙🏻
Cool and Mixing I wish there's opportunity I can work in your farm.
Fantastic 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 bro
Love from India brother 🥰
Nice job,
Did ye have the full amount of Fert spread on the silage ground when ye grazed it if so will ye top it up again or let it alone
See the blue drum u have hanging up where the cows exit the rotary, if your had that a bit higher up on a rope and pulley and if a cow won't back off you could realise the rope and tip the cow in the head with the drum and she will back off. They wil get to used to it if it is down at there level all the time
Thanks for the tipp
It would be handy if you had a yard scraper for the tractor it would save you a lot of time having to scrape down after milking
Ah those areas are so small it would take longer to get the tractor
@@MCMilkingIt is it illegal in ireland to have 2 cows on 1 acre land?
Good morning
Can u do a machiney tour
Great Video. Who did the plumbing in your parlour?
Campion Pumps
What did you milk in before your rotary parlor I have a Delaval 50 bail rotary here in CT USA I used to milk in a 100 stall barn with 12 ato takeoffs
We used to milk in a 20 units herringbone swing over
Hi another nice vid !! What's the app you use for gps ?
Field Navigator Parallel Driving, I'm not sure if it us available on iPhone
I am working to in the dairy farm Indonesian
Is gea dairy equipment popular in Ireland and are there alot of rotary parlors there's 3 here in CT me a 72 bail and a 30 bail rotary I'm the only jersey dairy with a rotary the other 2 are holstiens
Not overly popular. There is a few alright, especially in the last few years as herds have got bigger but most farms wouldn't have one
Which company milk parlour you have ?
Hello MC Milking It,, who does your hoof trimming?
We do it ourselves
@6:07 when spreading... what app on the phone are you using ? GPS guide?
It is called Field Navigator Parallel Driving, not sure if it is available on iPhone
@@MCMilkingIt sound thanks. Download it and working in the kitchen. Give it a go in the field later?
I see you have no roof above where the cows eat the silage , does that not result in a huge amount of rain getting into the tank ?
Yes but we have enough storage to account for that
@@MCMilkingIt not a dairy farmer myself but did work on a dairy farm years ago and the tank filling up was a bit of a nuisance , thanks for the reply
What are the two Belgium bulls there for they looks kinda small so there not a bull are they two bullocks
Vasectomised bulls to help with heat detection. They are about 15 months old
What and how much fertiliser are u spreading on paddocks. Using sweet grass here and cows cleaning out paddock s great.
Was spreading about 18 units of Protected Urea
What are you like with eating cow meat after working with them? Would you still eat a burger?
I love working either cows and I love eating meat 👌 we rear our own Angus heifer for the freezer to supply us with meet for the year
What does your farm consist of. What do you do. Tillage suckler etc
Just Dairy
@@MCMilkingIt you have a nice herd of cows
@@paddy294 thank you
Can I apply air land dairy form
Hello sir i,m working cow farm in saudi arabia can i come Ireland for farm worker?
Is it illegal in ireland to keep 2 cows per acre?
The legal limit is 170kg of organic nitrogen per hectare. Although you can get derogation to go to 250kg of organic nitrogen per hectare but this has stricter regulations. The amount of organic nitrogen per cow depends on their production
So yes 2 cows per acre is not allowed
@@MCMilkingIt sir! What about tiny mobil homes without permit on agricultural land is legal or....
@@ArifKhan-rn1nn nope, we don't have any nomadic farmers
At min 13 you skipped a cow, I think. What's wrong with her?
Some cows try stay on or get back on the platform and you have to encourage them off with the hose. Sometimes you might not see them but you would know they are milked when they get to you

Hlo sir i want to come there to work with you
What do you have job in farming if u have job i interested thanks
Why do you have 400 cows tho surely don’t need em all 😆
I, similarly to my parents and my grandparents before them, have I drive to always learn, improve, do and be better. We have been very fortunate to come across opportunities that were in line with ours goals as individuals, a family and a business. The size of the herd now has given us the ability to hire like minded people with a passion for agriculture like ours. This has improved our work/life balance as well as given us the chance to give back and help others learn and progress to achieve their own goals.
