A weekend does not begin without a coffee and your video. A city dweller, who hardly stood on a farm in my life. But every repair and fix is just the best example of common sense I have ever seen. Your life is full of responsibility and hard work but you are the most mentally stable person I have ever seen. A lovely family life but I laugh at how your hardy girls, react to a dead mouse, just so normal and nice. Thanks so much for the life lessons. Mousy Moo, for the calfs name.

You are a good man, Adrian. I love your videos. Greetings of a Belgium farmer

Little farmer in this house loves your videos every Sunday, highlight of his weekend!! His idea for the calfs name is 'Moo-teeny' 🐄❤😊

You are so very close to 96k subscribers!

Nice update Adrian. Those "Old Wives Tales" are really based on years and years of experience over centuries. Many scoff but male Holly really works well.

That buck won't be up for breakfast anytime soon

Definitely worth doing we did with ours this year and was huge saving on time. Good video as usual 😊

Congratulations to you and Moodini! 👏👏👏👏

Aaaahhhh. Absolutely lovely to be back with your cows. They are looking smashing. I think your new baby with the special tail is going to make a beauty. Thank you for sharing. Take care. 😊

Another great video Adrian 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for explaining the Holly again as a fairly new convert to your podcasts I thought you hung up the bushes for the spuggies (Sparrows) 😂

I love to watch your videos. You are brilliant at fixing things and I think your farm is the cleanest and neatest of any on KZfaq!!! I wish I was clever and could think of a name for the new calf.

The wee calf is cool with the bent tail❤ while in India years ago there was a cow with a fifth leg growing out of it's shoulder.. it was a healthy fully grown cow and the 'extra' leg was like a calf size thing.. that's the way things go sometimes, it's alive thanks to you. Mind your ankle, my left one got twisted badly twice over the years (i'm 57 now) and because i didn't mind it properly Plantar Facitis set in. Blooming painful, like your foot is splitting apart..😮 and my clutch foot at that.. 😂😂😂 oh, the 'mail' dispenser is cool.. there's always something to do on a farm, coming from a farming background myself you get to learn a multitude of skills and methods for working things out..😊 as you well know, when you have other lives depending on you, you'll get the task sorted.. like yourself, work smarter, not harder😇😉🤪 great videos Adrian, always a good variety of life on the farm👍

Great video Adrian

Excellent video as usual, farm is run very well

Heifer looking really well

The springs look the same as what’s on my grandkids trampoline

The coupling on top of the mixer is well worth it , stick her on lad , you’ll not regret it 👍🏻👍🏻

Yes good investment with pipe to move slurry from one tank to another.

Adrian we have a connection at the top of the NC mixer and its some job for blowing slurry across into a store. Saves a lot of back and forward with a tanker!

Best thing you will ever do to your pump so it is saves so much work

Great video 👍

Great video Adrian ur some man

Yes the spout is a brilliant job mix the tank for about 15 minutes first and then start pumping

Great video Adrian as always 👌

Yes it saves a lot off work

Just yesterday Houdini was a calf herself!

The Best of luck with your cow's and class video

Very interesting well done 24/7 you dont get enough credit for the hardwork that you and your family and all farmers do in Ireland to keep the food production industry moving. excellent channel very good education video's. Calf name Black eye pea or patch.

Totally agree with you,, i wouldnt aim to make silage in the rain obviously but a bit of moisture in silage is much better than too dry

We had a calf with a twisted tail kept her and she bred and milked fine.

Good stuff

Rorschach for Moodinis calf, and Curly for the one with the wonky tail!

Hi Adrian if u keep hose to top of tank u cud get 3 loads thick slurry out of tank before water starts comming without agitating

Call the calf phantom.....as in phantom of the opera from Martin and Joanna from Kerry love the video

Love the video hello from the kingdom call the calf phantom

"Patchouli"....my favourite essential oil.....🤣🤣

Great video Adrian. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

houdini,s wife was Bessie.retired galway dairy farmer.my orby feeders used to cake up with dampness.

🤔 Houdini’s wife was called Bess apparently. Maybe a bit strange but I like the name Bess (my grandad called his car Cathy Bess as well)

Great results with the Rugby yesterday with Scotland beating England. Great varied video Adrian, got to watch in peace while my wife is bothering God at Church 😊.

It is a good job actually will save diesel and time

Great video as usual thank you Adrian. Oh and how about Patch for the calf.

We had a calf born with it's tail bent round like that now it was to suckler cow but it never caused any issues till it was as a weanling

Great video Adrian, just on the silage, I'd far sooner wet silage over dry silage, either bales or pit. Keep up the good work 👍

I think Oreo would be a good name for Houdinis calf, great work on the videos

This was very interesting. I remember the ringworm outbreak. How do the bushes control the ringworm? Thank you for sharing.🐄

Great video Adrian,keep up the good work

‘patch’ or ‘patches’ for Moodini’s calf 😊

Well worth buying kit for agitator and transfer hose. Saves alot of time . Make up reel and mount in something like calf transporter r anything wit wheels and make your job easier again. Keep up the great work

Glad that little calf made it, looks like its doing really well. Mind you saying that, I wouldn't expect anything else with the care and love your family gives to the animals. Have you thought about investing in a separator? Can you get grants, it might help with your slurry storage.

Love the video Adrian 😍😍. I was thinking Marshmellow for the calf's name. Keep it up lad.

Hi Adrian, You could try and re-use old spring by extending out broken end slightly and bend new loop…

Can’t recommend enough the outlet coupling at the top of the agitator. Mine is a red rock and I’d be beyond lost without it. Use it to transfer mainly watery slurry to neighbouring tanks which is always really thick because of the build up from scrapers. Most recently started to use it to pump parlour wash downs into a rarely used slurry store just so I could transfer thick slurry coming up through the slats to replace the parlour wash downs. Unreal wet down in cork for most of February…slurry build up breaking my heart….

Put the spout on the agitator. Lay flat hose and you will save so much time transferring slurry around the yard

Calf with the tail will be a gift in the parlour never get a dirty tail across the eyes 😂

I think that the effulent from wet silage contains a lot of the sugars.

Another great video to relax and watch on a Sunday morning 👌🏻

Put it on the pump best thing you will ever do.I sent you a photo on face book on how to fix your crush gate closing hoped it helped

Really great video again Adrain. They are so varied and I find it very interesting when you disassembly equipment for repairs. Great to be able to tackle repairs yourself. That wee calf with the sideways tail really thrived in the few days. We have been blighted with ringworm both winter 2022 and 2023. I had forgotten about the Holly . I must cut some and get it up. Keep the excellent content coming.

You should call the calf zigzag, Jimmy Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

She looks like a lucy! I'm glad the other little calf is doing well. Hopefully we have some drier weather now this coming week.

Thanks for the decent content. I always enjoy your videos.

Hi Adrian. Looking at the wire mesh in the pen of the yellow calf. 2:15 / 20:22 I see what appears to be some bent spikes sticking out, close to the back wall. With feisty young calves jumping around there is a potential danger it could impale itself on the spike.

Evening Adrian, could you not get rid of some slurry by travelling the lanes around your fields and shooting the slurry over the hedge ? Probably not ideal, but you could make some room in the tanks without churning up the fields. Keep up the great videos.🙂

I have a pipe on the agitater here for moving slurry, I got piping from a local contractor who was changing the pipes on his pipe system, great Job,well worth doing

Adrian give para cord a try on your feeders amazingly strong but very flexible

I done transfer before with the agitator to a tank beside another tank, it's grand if you are badly stuck for space but come time to empty the tank it's a nightmare, the agitator takes all the watery stuff out and you ultimately end up having to put back all those loads of water,

Might be worth having a look at the rates the feeders are giving. The two scoops looked to be set differently. Have the same feeders ourselves

All the animals are in great condition. Fair play.

Another great video Adrian!

The calf with the eye patch has to be Pirate.

Kadabra fir the calfs name the black barking around the eye is like a dab plus the mothers name keeps the magic alive

Wow did you teach me something today! Would have been better 50 years ago, but now I have a little nugget of knowledge about holly to tuck away in my memory. I thought the one with the wonky tail had a big head when you first showed her looked like a bull. If she were mine when you will get ready to breed her I would have the vet check her out to make sure everything developed ok and if she can give birth without difficulty. You have a great day. Enjoy your Sunday.

A 4:18 just wounding how did you make the latch for holding the double gates great video

The poor little calf, going to be rooting for her!

Well worth buying the kit with flexi hose saves a lot of time

Had a calf like that before tail never grew but calf was fine

Great video Adrian panda for the calf 😊

Chocolate Chip Cookie 🍪

Another great video has always Adrian and family 👍

Bullseye for Houdinis baby x

It's been a wet spell Adrian but as you know things can always a worse, the silage looks fine considering the weather it was cut and baled in, might be coincidence but the holly does look to have done its job, enjoyed the video thanks again and good luck to you and the family

It is great job to pipe it over to another tank

You saying about wet and dry can't be 2 dry just double wrap it ie same plastic on the field off grass as less bales

Call her Luna ❤

Hi Adrian and Family. Great channel and content, even though not on a farm, although was years ago when I was younger and the only place i wanted to stay when in Ireland was on my uncles farm, not to dissimilar to you, where he had to do the lot!!!! Long days and hard work!!! I was doing work while listening/watching this episode, and if i am right, i think the calf should be called either Patch or Panda!!!

Do you have to use a dribble bar to spread slurry all the time could you not get a long extension pipe and spread from the road into a field on still days while its wet to help lower the amount of slurry in the tanks.

Ming Ming for the calfs name.... after the Panda 🐼

If u put the spout on ur agitator u can’t mix and pump at the same time if u look at the handle on ur agitator it says mixing or filling when u pull it to filling then it will pump but u can’t mix and pump at the same time

Hello Adrian, hope u are keeping good, nice stretch in the evening, Lovely calfs , great video, chat soon, kieran from Laghey donegal town

Panda the calf

Panda....😊

Panda 🐼

Always look forward to your videos.. they are brilliant. I've two names in mind for the calf, Patch or pig tail 😊

A length of lay flat and a suitable way of anchoring the outlet would save you time in the long run. I can move twenty thousand gallons in less than one hour after mixing. If you’re getting a joiner in the middle you can use it to help mix a long tank and a garden roller would be handy for squeezing it out when finished.

G'day Adrian. She looks like a ripper little calf, (Patch) is would be my name choice. Cheers from Down Under.

I don’t think you tried hard enough with that mouse Adrian. 😂😂

Looks Like a bit of a Bandit to me !

Adrian watch your videos every week excellent farmer. Patch for the calf
