“Ask a stupid question rather than doing a stupid thing” the best quote ever!

Love seeing Tom running his hands down the bags of the cows after putting the units on...Just shows that he really does care about his animals. :)))

Watching you put milk straight for your coffee that is the best. I am in Texas and when we would go to the dairy, my uncle saw me coming knowing I wanted my fresh milk yummy !! I'm 60 now and miss those good old days

So true-" It is better to ask a stupid question than to do a stupid thing..."

Fresh milk straight from a cow is so GOOD Tom I like the way you make your coffee I used do the same years ago when I did work on my friends farm. Doing the day to day jobs you do on your farm 🥛🐄👏👍

I am so happy I found this channel. I grew up on a beef farm in the US. Milk farm is very different, very interesting. Love how committed this chap is to his girls. Thank you for showing the world real farm life.

I was literally about to comment saying you should do a colab with hoof gp.

Hi Tom, I've been a subscriber for a while; I am from northern NY in the states where dairying has a large presence. I am a retired milk tester of 20+ years. I commend you for explaining to the uneducated peoples the common everyday practices of farming and animal care. Keep up the good work.

I grew up around diary farms. Nice to see how you talk to the girls and treat them so gently. A dedicated dairy farmer.

It is very nice seeing you in with the cows and working with them in this post and your last one also. I watch all the time. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day Tom !!

Thanks for the answer Tom. Regards to Jo, hope she is well, we all know she loves this time of year.

I’ve been watching Hoof GP for a while since you last mentioned him...it’s a great channel! Hope the collaboration happens soon!

Great video Tom. Thanks for the q & a in the parlor. Glad to hear that the one cow with the shackles on is doing good.

Great vid brotha...I enjoyed the milking vid the other day!

Hoof GP collaboration will be awesome. I have watched you both since a few thousand subs each. Great stuff can’t wait!

I reckon you could add a good mug to your collection. Every farmer loves a good brew. I certainly do. What about a summer range of sunglasses? Funky colours with TP down the sides etc?

Although I'm not a farmer, I love your videos. They're quite information and fun that I come back for more. Keep it up Tom ! I'm only 2hours East of you, maybe I'll come over one of these months or years

Hi Tom love the milking vids and as always very informative for me and anyone who is not in the agricultural sector but is interested in it. I left school twenty five years ago and went to work at temple newsam farm in Leeds working with rare breeds of cattle and I got ushered in to working with pigs and later had to leave the industry to look after my father and i never got to go back to farming however I hope In the near future I will be back farming. The ginger warrior is a wealth of knowledge and he is a hell of a farmer you should not be in such a rush to dismiss him from the vids trust him and learn as much as possible from him. You are a very capable farmer but trust me experience is number one. I look forward to watching your channel every week with a passion Cheers

Great to see hard work from the next generation. You are a credit to your family.

Hey Tom, GP actually sent me to you about 4 months ago. You both rock!

Yet another great video from Tom!🐂🐂🚜🚜

Thanks for the reply...mine was your first question. Hoof gp is my favourite youtube for animal stuff, and for promoting Scotland.

Great informative video, thanks. Looks like your hair is coming back nicely.

My two year old daughter absolutely loves "Farmer Tom!" I'm not sure how we came across you, but we've been watching a video each night for months, it's her absolute favourite thing to watch! 😀 Brilliant and interesting videos, next time we're in Blackpool we might call in...I'm sure if she saw you she'd be as star struck as she would be meeting Peppa Pig or Blippi! 🤣😂

Omg I love the hoof gp so much you and him are both the best cow you tubers I watch😍

never knew your info about youtube.....like it i will. your tunes are drastically better, haha Merry Xmas from Saskatchewan

Another great video tom

you need to sell boiler suits aswel. would be a serious gap in the market for you tom. also i love the vids, heidi is such an inspiration 👏🏻

Love the hoof gp. Been watching him from the start. Great insight. Keep it going Tom. WOOOO. A bit of Stony ridge for you mate. Lol

I love your videos. Keep up the good work

Can't wait for the Hoof GP to come to your farm yeahhhh

Thanks for your really great explanation.

Hi Tom, I never really watch youtube at all but I have recently began to watch your channel and Im loving it ! Loved this video and all your others. Its great for me to watch your channel and learn new things about life as dairy farmer as I aspire to be a farmer like you one day. Do you have any tips to help me succeed and achieve my ambition. Thankyou Tom Holbrook

Good video Tom 👍🏻

Parlor question. I see the hose coming down to feed the cake and in another video you said they all get different amounts. If I remember correctly you put tape on the tail to indicate that. How do you regulate how much cake gies to each cow? I haven't seen that process in any of the vids I've seen. And Hoof GP is awesome! He's the one who told me about your channel. Love both you guys!

For the heat detection you should go on an rms program with genus abs

Loooooooooooove the Hoof GP. Both of you care about the health and welfare of the animals ( goes without saying the Ginger 'stache cares about the moos).

Nice video as always

Bib overalls would be so sweet! I would buy those no matter the cost. Shipping to the US?

Hi tom love your videos can you do a yard scraping video thanks

The double up parlour is the cheapest because it can be fitted into an existing parlour without having to knock and redesign a longer parlour to cater for more clusters. If you are milking 8 at the time then the double up machine will increase it to 16 at the time without redesigning the parlour which turns out far cheaper.

That will be a fab colab 😁👍 🐄🐄🐄🐄

Nice big herd you have

Hi Tom have you thought about bio gas waste from cows goes in aswell as few other bits it ferments then you get gas digestate is great fertiliser bit of a win win

Great video.

Brilliant stuff

Tom have you ever forgotten to take the pipe out of the tank before putting the wash going around?

What are the major diesese in hf cows.. Planning to start my farm as well.

Great video... I run a farm in India... hope to implement what I learn from you...

The chains are a great idea for that job I’ll have to try get some or make some👍

❤❤❤ loved!!

You can milk hylands, I'm thinking about getting 2 heffer caves, one for beef one for milk idk who I'll breed them with lol 🤔

Would love to have Toms farm on fs19!!!

The milking videos are some of your best, l think anyways

Love the video Tom as usual just wondering , I know you have a bull but do you ai any cows yourself?

Every time you say "Good morning" I expect you to follow it up with "Vietnam" because you sound like Robin Williams in the film of the same nane😉

Great video 👌👌👍👍

Do you think the robots could work with your grazing system in the summer though ? That’s a lot of lanes and walking back and fourth

A farm near us had a robot and the cows and free to go in or outside and can be milked when ever they want

Great video, Tom. It is vital that we all support and defend our farmers in the current climate, the vegan agenda is being promoted aggressively by the globalists. with lots of negative publicity and impact on our farmers. I am very interested in all aspects of farming, but living in an area where there are no dairy farmers, this is of particular interest. Do you sell directly? I see this as a growing trend. I buy the higher priced milk in order that farmers are paid a fair price, but I hope that our dairy farmers are paid fairly for their work - I realise that the tendency of the modern world is to reward 'big ag.' and its partners. Our farmers are the custodians of our land, their work too often taken for granted. I buy a lot of dairy products, I love them! Thank you for all your hard work and for taking the extra time to bring us these videos, they are invaluable. In case you are interested, there is a channel (in German) called "A Self Sufficient Living", he did a 3 part video series on a modern milking system in his area. The title of all videos is "So Kommt die Biomilch auf ihren Tisch" (This is how the organic milk gets to your table) Teil 1 04/5/19(part 1) Teil 2 10/5/19, Teil 3 17/5/19. The channel name in German is "Der Selbstversorgerkanal" - if others want that. Part 3 shows more of the techy side, but all 3 are interesting. All videos are found on the gentleman's 'video' page of his KZfaq channel. Although never normally political, he tried to upload footage of the farmers' protest last week and had the material instantly removed. The censorship of those protests was aggressive. He pleaded with KZfaq and has since uploaded some of that material. His site may be of interest to others here.

I learn a lot from you

Do you think cluster removal leads to more mastitis? The cows fidget towards the end of milking, looks like clusters are over milking. Excuse if stupid question, never used automatic cluster removal!

from what I understand the lely robots are a lease over ten years on a heard of a 150 but my thing would be should you keep the conventional parlour incase the robot is damaged

Bloody hell, that is a hell of a lot of milk, wow.

Nothing like good old farming you dont need machines 😍

Question for you and ur dad how many cows can 1 guy do on his own all milking calf rearing grass management contractor does silage and slurry etc

I do remember the milk recorder coming round the farm every few months but cant remember how often. Id get shedloads of tracing paper from them as obviously no laptop/tablets in those days. Do you have limits on the amount of milk you can produce like the old milk quota system? think you would buy a licence for "x" amount of milk that you could sell.

Hi Tom me being a townie whey do you milk twice day, not once or three times is it a set thing

Totally agree with u on robots wish I had them as well

251st! GOOD MORNING TOM, LUKE, HIEDI AND THE GINGER GUY WITH A MUSTACHE! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA 😮

What is exactly in your brew? Ive tried different combinations during my milking days but could never find something just right.

The hoof gp recommended your channel

how is the carpet for the cows holding up?

The cows are used to u shouting in the parlour anyway lol

I understand the reasob for using gloves, mostly for hygene but whats the use if you grab on to yhe muck laiden steel pipes with the gloves where is the cleanlyness then

Tom, last video you said the ring colours told you how much cake to give them. But if they arrive randomly into the parlour, how do you alter how much cake they get?

What is the fat and protein numbers in your milk .? What breed do you milk ? How mutch cows do you milk ?

How does the in-parlor feeding work?

Tom, did you make a video on the new fence yous put up

Do you feed the cows in the parlour and if you do how does it work ??

What brand is the milking parlour

Tom Pemberton for Farm of Parliament :)

Hello Tom. Great content and extremely informative. If the Hoof GP comes off it will be superb. I have a question regarding the shop. Are you considering selling meat and products from the farm shop online?

They are all throwing out the robots and going for rotary parlours or double up parlours where there are double the cluster s so with acr's it's theoretically possible to milk the two sides together, note theoretically because it's tough work when things are mot going according to plan. To be a good milker one needs to be calm so the cows don't get upset.

How long you guys keep a cow?(years) what do you do when cow reaches that age?
