Went to get a bale spike and ended up on a test drive HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN TO ME 😂😂😂 jumped into the Huerlimann which was very snazzy front links and PTO yes life, looked around loads of tractors few case tractors like ours, loads of Zetors some little solis scraper tractors like what Olly has, and some huge beasts as well. I’ll have to go up for a proper look around the old girls at some point but you don’t want to be rude and video peoples stuff too much you know?… I have never seen that many tractors in one place on a mountain 😂 put cornthwaites to shame!!!
Ended up bringing cows in as well so an imptomptu tidy up of the shed quickly.
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.
