Full on day of catching up today pet lambs on the move and walkabout the robots with Mark who has been fantastic.
in 2009 i had no experience of farming or the realities that came with it. That soon changed when I met my other half Roy, I had a job as a carer and in every spare moment threw myself into farming. I had only ever driven a Nissan Micra and had experience with horses, I learnt the hard way as nobody had the time to show me and soon after arriving I found myself mothering on calves to three quarter bred limmy cows. We spent every available moment on the farm between our day jobs. Fast forward to 2016 two children later we moved into our very own farm overlooking the northern Pennines, Laitha.
we are in a transitional period at present and will finally be milking cows and making the final switch later this year, after years of planning and implementing infrastructure we will be milking 120 Jersey cows on two Lely robots. This will be a huge change and a steep learning curve
I will be taking you all along for the ride so hit that subscribe button and see you every other day for farming vlogs.
I am overjoyed to be a farmer. I feel so fortunate every day to wake up and do what I love and even better share it with the world and hope it inspires more young people from Preston to spread their wings and think outside the box the world doesn’t need more childcare workers or hairdressers it needs more farmers.

Remember helping with a calving one Saturday lunchtime. The cow had prolapsed and after a tough half hour the Vet asked my boss for a Whiskey bottle. I thought he was just a bit of a piss head. Turned out he wanted the bottle to push the prolapse back in place which he then stitched. Everyday's a school day. Cow went on to have a long life and many calves..

We had the same with the Limousin cow who was Chaz the bull and the young Limousin bull we’ve just sold! The vet asked if Roys mum had a wine bottle, we too wondered what they were suggesting! Nice to hear when a story has a good ending!x

Hiya Charlotte geting there now with the new set up looks lovely. Doesn't look cheap. What I can see . The robots don't look cheap to run with all the water & chemicals involved. Doesn't it worry you how much water they are going to use. And where its going to go. ? .
@charlotteashleyfarm
@charlotteashleyfarm Ай бұрын
No to be honest the water that goes over the plate cooler goes into the troughs so that’s used twice the flush out from the robots goes directly into the slurry through a separator, borehole and solar panels make it viable but Rome wasn’t built in a day

That pipework looked tremendously kewl, but oh Charlotte, " I'll be the cow..." 😱🤭 Don't beat yourself up about putting the sheep & lambs out, you're not a weather forecaster, they've got woolly coats on. Just keep 'em out of those silly double fences...😘

Wow cant believe I missed a day. Can you please explain what you meant by putting a spoon in the ewe? My friend has been having your trouble with the double fencing, with the lambs getting stuck. The lambs look like they are going to enjoy the new shed, looking forward to seeing many mucky faces when they get stuck into the mollaces. (spelt wrong). Take care. Witchy.

Hi Charlotte, prolapse can be caused by a lack of calcium fluoride. Not sure where you would get it in the Uk but I buy it in the local health store in the mineral salts section.

Do you give the lambs or calves diatomaceous earth free choice to help with scours, coccsidiosis, criptospiridium and other soil and feces contracted bugs? I swear by it for my calves right from birth until 2 months old out on pasture ive only treated 2 calves for loose stool out of 650 calves.

Hi Charlotte. It’s all coming together for you now. Oliver from Lely Longtown been here with us today. I was asking him how you and Roy are getting on. I see Mark no.2 has done the installation for you. He did a very neat job when filling ours too. I can see you’re very busy. It is very time consuming but if you and Roy wanted to visit us here to get a feel for what it’s like and any ideas that we can help you with. You’re very welcome to visit us. Keep intouch. Any time. Occasionally you will need a quick answer to a problem. It’s handy sometimes. Keep smiling. Richard Wheelwright. 👍

Hi I am just sitting here chuckling at the thought of the robot trying to figure out how to milk you and my little granddaughter has just come out with a pearl,” but the robot couldn’t milk her with her coat on anyway “ she’s three and a half and her mum has a six month old who has just gone back to work and expresses for him so she took it seriously. Now she’s after pucking all over me, my fault she told me she wasn’t feeling well. …. Cleaned up and kid in bed, there’s a reason I don’t babysit much and sitting here in my pucky clothes is a reminder that I need to do it less ! Regards from Ireland.

All the best for when the cows arrive you"ll need it. Are the cows going out to graze or just have a loafing area to strech there legs thats if it ever stops raining. From south cheshire.❤
