Good time to be off loading big plain cattle, hope you are happy with what you got! Brewers grains are a high protein source c. 24 to 28 percent depending on the production method but we get them tested every time we get a new source because then you know what you get from that distillery or brewery and it helps you put a value on it, our 3 main sources are 25 to 26 and about 27.5 percent dry matter, m.e. Of around 11.2 so they mix very well with either maize or beet ( high energy low protein) . I know you are not supposed to let kids into the cab of a tractor nowadays but I always put them in the cab with me around the yard based on the principle that it’s very hard to drive over them when they are in the cab , ( I was going to add a smart comment here but I didn’t think it was appropriate because I know many people who have lost kids to farm accidents and it’s a life long pain that they have to bear , some manage to get on with their lives but are haunted by the tragedy and others are not as fortunate either way I am just grateful that I personally have never had to deal with such a loss and it wasn’t that we did anything better or were more aware than those that did suffer such a tragedy we were just lucky because our kids were reared in the yard or the back of the jeep with the dogs , no baby seats, no seat belts, no seats for gods sake and in hindsight we were just a little bit more fortunate) . Regards from Ireland sorry for the ramble started to get sad thinking about this subject.
It was Olly you were thinking off. The girl, Samantha Kinghorn now does talks about it and farm safety. She is now a paraolympian and Olly attended one of them.
Another lovely film. Great life for kids despite the dangers. They'll learn to risk assess, get a great work ethic and have a fabulous food connection 😊
Another great episode of life with Charlotte 😁 I wonder if the cows, and family know how lucky they are. I agree with your views regarding children on a farm, eyes in the back of your head and education for everyone, adults and kids alike. Stay safe and enjoy your cows. 🙂👍
Another great video Charlotte. Just the ticket on a Monday morning. 😊 Your jerseys are lovely, such inquisitive and cute faces and they all look happy. A great reflection on you, Roy & the bairns. Have a great week, and enjoy them sunsets!
Great video as always I 💯 % agree that's the perfect calving paddock and should be left as is Yes I agree with you with the kids just because we did it all as kids farms are far more dangerous now with all the modern machinery I see so many kids on farms on social media where I think jeez the risk involved really isn't worth it. Farm I helped on as a kid used to have a layer of brewers grains in the bottom of the silage clamp which cows directly had access to all winter as they fed direct from the clamp face
Morning Charlett, just run through quad safety with a new member of staff, short video and new helmet for him👍 as part of our staff induction training. In my experience, while in theory calving outside on one paddock might seem good it’ll turn into a hotbed of disease and bad bacteria rapidly unless you move that paddock around the farm.. it’ll cause you early lactation mastitis and scc issues. No the beef are gone could you use those sheds as close up dry shed then a designated shed or part of a shed that would serve as a calving yard. You’ll have more control over the environment and feed. I generally feed hay to my close up calving cows with mag flakes and iodised salt, have pretty much zero calving problems but appreciate I’m spring block calving and different soil type, but our autumn units all now calve inside after years of battling calving paddock problems. Best wishes 👍
@@charlotteashleyfarm I've told you before, you are such a ray of sunshine on a dull day. You must have down days , I think everyone does , but just so you know, I can't be the only one out here that loves what you do. 🤗x
I know a family that lost one of their young children. They sent him out to spread manure and he didn't come back. They found him wrapped in the PTO. So sad.
Suggestion for removing bandages, get yourself a pair of Tuffcut Scissors... (scissors used by medical professionals for cutting clothing, but will also cut bandages successfully
Hi Charlotte, cracking video yet again, totally agree with you about farm safety having had 2 myself, how do you feel about other CZcamsrs disregarding the safety of youngsters whilst you are trying to advocate it and show that farmers follow the rules, you both milk cows but have very different ideas of what you post, love you long time (great slogan for a hoodie)
Now that is a question and a half I have strong opinions as I’m sure you can imagine but all I can do is show good practice and hope people don’t think we are all as lax
End of an era for you. I got all sad then for a moment, I thought the little girl was going to the other place, not being put with friends. if you know what I mean. Liked the piggy cameo.. Great ending. Take care. Witchy
Your kids are so well behaved on the farm. My five kids would be a nightmare. They would be everywhere. Don’t forget to give them credit for being so well behaved.
@@charlotteashleyfarmalso pressed pulp Trafford gold feed at the same rate possible if rashen is to rich outside the robot the cows could become lazy to come to milk
the snowflake pattern is beautiful and just adds to the delicious-ness(?) of the girls. My wife wants to know at what age do you think about retiring the milkers? ( i think she wants one lmao) end of an era ref the beef side, but as they say - as one door closes... another gate opens ( just dont tell the cows lol)
No need to let brewers go cold charlotte, dumped in the feeder and fed out, they are still fantastic for cows- only thing is a constant quantity each days, milking cows don't like irregular diets, as close as possible each day, minimising any changes you have to make, gradually, like swapping silages, putting fodder beet in, changing a protein straight?? Those close calvers with the stone trough, and the others will need some bulk if only straw if they have minimal grass access, you don't want cows with shrunk guts calving and risking left displaced adbos.
Put some gloves on to tuck the silage up in bed. Heath and safety where children are concerned, I totally agree. Cammy Wilson on his channel gets upset if you try to point out the danger he puts his tots in.
I don’t think Cammy is the worst example by FAR his kiddies are feral but I’ve never seen them in direct danger now some others are down right irresponsible
@@charlotteashleyfarm one episode saw him putting Jock in the snacker full of cake giving him a ride with very real risk of him falling out, another was spreading builder’s lime around a trough with both the little ones nearby and Jock took a handful that could have resulted in alkaline burns to his mouth or even rubbed his eyes with it on his hands. Cammy didn’t seem to notice but he wasn’t happy about having it pointed out.
Congratulations on your transition from Beef to Dairy , now the dairy/ beef black n whites have gone. What are you going to use those biuldings for now on that farm ???? Great farm ssfety bit as well. 😊

Thank you! You too!
The end of the video is a great add to promote tourism to your part of the world
It’s stunning isn’t it honestly so pretty x x

Thank you my favourite skid steer loving friend x x x x
Now Charlotte, listen to me. Horses sweat, men perspire and ladies gently glow!!!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH thank you 😂😂😂
Excellent video again and totally agree with the farm safety aspect. You would want eyes in the back of your head with kids around 🇮🇪☘️
Use a garden spade to push the silage cover down at the walls, it will push it down further and will save ur fingers. Keep up the great work.
You sir are a GENIUS

Great video Charlotte keep up the great work you amazing lady
Thank you! Will do!
Good evening my friend. Cracking video as always. X
Thanks paddy hope your good x x x
@@charlotteashleyfarm I’m fine. How are you doing xx
Brewers Grains are excellent for milk production. I used to feed them all year. Great video again.
Good to know! I look forward to using them now x x
In Scotland we used to feed Draught it's same idea as brewers grains but from whiskey distillerys. I assume Trafford Gold is the same to
Great video as always

Ours don’t go on quads at all I know farms who don’t have them because they can just foresee injuries

80 years ago, now, but my uncle backed over his youngest on the farm. Such a tragedy. Up in Northern Ontario.
Oh god that’s awful it doesn’t bare thinking about
When I was a lad we kept cows much longer than today, well into their teens. Occasional 20 year old.
We also have had them at 21 poppy she was a legend of an animal
Samantha kinghorn from j6st along the road from me r3ally lovely person and what a career she has since then amazing
Aunty Lotty,
No body shaming of the girls please 🤭
🧡😸😺 Oliver and Cooper 🐾
Lovely vid all the beef moos gone a bit sad i gess you were feeling eney way up and on lass ok be safe you lot
We call brewers grains “cow crack” because the girls go crazy for it. Milk volume increases and every one dances and sings.
I know a family that lost one of their young children. They sent him out to spread manure and he didn't come back. They found him wrapped in the PTO. So sad.
The rugby player is Maud Muir she plays for England and Gloucester-Hartpury as a prop. Great video
Excellent video Charlotte!
Glad you liked it!

They where well loved animals
Hope the cows did well.

They are super you know honestly really good kiddies x
We feed brewer's grains at a rate of 8 to 10 kgs to the cows and get far more milk and use far less silage.
Your a star Gerry thanks for that we didn’t know what to give
@@charlotteashleyfarmalso pressed pulp Trafford gold feed at the same rate possible if rashen is to rich outside the robot the cows could become lazy to come to milk

The views coming down the A66 from Stainmore, looking towards Appleby and the lakes, are amazing anytime.
Wasn't that Sammi Kinghorn who now represents UK in Paralympics and has become a double medalist in wheelchair and holds 1500m record?
Let me do a bit of research and tell you x x x
Just wondering will u be bringing the calves born on ur farm up to Roy's dad's farm to rear them
I always feel sad when animals leave the farm
Me too x x
You didn’t ask Roy about reversing into the building. Or was his reply censored
No I didn’t 😂😂

Ha ha ohh she can take one as a garden ornament now there is a few around 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Roy Srs building are empty now? I could rent them out to store some of my machinery
He will be filling them with horses no doubt 😂😂
Check with Joe they use a brewery waste product
His Dad says they don’t use any waste product 🤷♂️😂
did Royston reverse into the shed? 😝 Talking about safety i saw you left the grab in the air, becareful if a pipe bursts whist left up.
I think he hit the overhang 😂😂😂
@@charlotteashleyfarm lol only farmers can run into somthing and carry on as if nothing happend

Just an observation have you considered using gravel bags for the sides much better than tyres with better results
No but I wish I had some
Congratulations on your transition from Beef to Dairy , now the dairy/ beef black n whites have gone.
What are you going to use those biuldings for now on that farm ????
Great farm ssfety bit as well. 😊
Going to wash them all out and use them as possible overflow for heifers etc if we need it in winter but only in emergencies
