I always found a hook dosing gun useless when the cow was held in the crush gate. However if you fill the race and go down dosing each one where she stands the cow in front will keep her head up when you remove the hook stopping her from dropping her head and losing product by spitting it out, I always catch the last one at the front again so that you are never dosing the one at the very front in the headlock. It’s worth trying, very speedy when you get the hang of it.

Glad you are feeling better.... nothing worse than a Prick of a headache 😂

Sorry to Hear your a bit under the weather Adrian, Take it Handy 🙌

Radio is a great job for cows and cattle, keeps them calm and gets them used to noise and people talking

Covid or no Covid Farmers NEVER stop working, Respect.

Good stuff

Great job Adrian, no rest for the wicked, keep at her Lad!

Covid really makes it hard to get a good breath. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great day!

I caught it 3 weeks ago and although I was really ill for a couple of days, i started getting over that, then I caught flu, which I haven't had for 30+ yrs so now I still get tired and breathless now 3 weeks on. Get better soon ☘️☘️☘️

Adrian, thanks for another video. Hope you are fully recovered soon. Difficult when you've got the farm to run but try and take it easy for a while. Regards

The calm and steady way that you manage your animals is brilliant to watch, my late father was a herdsman and he was the same quiet and calm never heard him say he had got an injured cow with falling or anything similar, hope you feel better soon Adrian

So sorry you got Covid. What a mess. Hope you recover quickly. Don't over exert too soon, make sure you are really well first. Always good to see happy cows on a Sunday morning!

You could use a 200 litre plastic barrel as a head scoop, maybe turn upside down to keep sharp corners on the ground. It makes the job a lot easier.

Good man Adrian, no stopping you. Get better soon.

Aw stop got it there a few months ago for the second time and I was knocked for a week and so tired, farming hard enough as it is but has to be done no rest for the wicked great job adrian

Glad to hear you feeling a bit better Adrian, the old Covid is no joke having had it myself a few times. Had to laugh at the calves trying to get away on you. Its like the animals know you are feeling under the weather and decide to play up, you will be glad you have no sheep, they seem to wait to the worst time possible before acting up. 🙄

Love the videos been watching them every Sunday morning👍

Just goes to show, farmers still have to tent to there jobs regardless how they feel. It’s a great thing for people to see. Your animal husbandry is second to none, them cattle are a credit to you. We use fishing line here to tie off the warts/berry’s, works a treat. Them dosing guns are messy, we just add a little extra dose to compensate for it. Great video Adrian

My daughter brought covid back from school twice, didn't affect me at all, and I tested posative, the first time I had covid I actually felt better than I normally do.

Was at a meeting run by my veterinary practice a few years ago. One of the vets said that a head scoop was a better investment than the hook drenchers as the animals would spit some out most of the time.

Great video Adrian. Hope you get better soon..

Aww gawd love you Adrian 👍🏆♥️ you're a trooper 🤗 I wish you a speedy recovery ❤

Great video Adrian get well soon

Glad you are feeling better.

The head scoop are a great job Adrian, also for yourself try carrageen ( sea moss) to clear out your ailment, boil it up, strain it and down the hatch with a drop of milk.

Hope your feeling better soon thanks for your Sunday video

Hello Adrian another great video and hope you get better soon

We always used the castrating bands, worked great, if you get a thin one we I would use fine baling twine.

Great video Adrian. Hope you are feeling better. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

My favourite viewing on a Sunday morning. Well done to the girls for helping you, had similar flu/Covid a couple of weeks back. Very tiring and the cough hangs about for weeks, it’s not a dry cough. You illness has not affected to usual high quality of your video 👍

Thanks for video hope your better soon.

Another good video hope you get better soon Adrian 👍👍

Speedy recovery Adrian

Great video Adrian get well soon 👌

Good man adrian get well soon get some one in for a week or so if you can and give yourself a break to recover

Glad to hear the angle berries cleared up Adrian. 😉 Happy days 👌 hope you get over that auld COVID, your a tough nut. 💪

Get well soon and great video

Good job there Adrian take care of yourself 👍👍

Love the cows. Your tractor has a very smooth purr. Can’t believe the suns out lol. Hope your better soon x

Another great video has always Adrian and family 👍

Great stuff Adrian, as they would say one time your a tonic ,take care

I hope you are feeling better soon. Take care and try to take it easy as you can to give yourself time to help your recovery.

Hope you get better soon, what a place to be self isolating all that lovely countrysid. Years ago I used to visit farms delivering fuel for tractors and heating, at of farmers swore by the radio apparently it relaxed them. Hope you get better soon. 👍

good video Adrian wishing you a speedy recovery that covid is horrible.

Hi Adrian them brushes are great I'd put one in collecting yard as well

thankyou just get better always luv videos stay safe

Never stops.... Good work sir.. 👏. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Adrian your great to😂work through covid .Every one i talk to has the same symptoms as you have take care of your self as I love your videos

We’ve all been there…. Feeling like 5h1t and so you do that thing you’d never do otherwise…drive across a wet field or risk a stray heifer so you don’t have to go back again. Here’s hoping you recover fast!

Pray that you get better soon. You still have to do your work while you're sick.

They already look go after the clipping. Be carful w/ that COVID Adrian. I was down for two weeks w/ it last Christmas. Even after taking Paxlovid. Thank you for sharing. 🐄

Get well soon. 😊

Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. The best is that you are out breathing fresh air. Hopefully you’ll not have rain to deal with. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Cows love the radio 📻.

We always had radio in our tiestall barn when I was growing up One nephew still does.

A head scoop is the job with them hook dosing guns Adrian, Id recommended Niall Barrett engineering head gate and scoop a serious job, hope you feel better soon👍

Good video hope you're feeling better now

Great job adrain your cattle look very wel

U have a great setup I must say

I watch some of #TWIV weekly clinical updates with Daniel Griffin. From what I understand some people should be getting paxlovid, straight away. Take it easy, some COVID infections can really take it out of you for a while. Some people have long COVID, that's quite scary. IndieSAGE have episodes on that. It's possibly similar for some cases to some cattle that get pneumonia and are left with lung scarring. I hope you make a full recovery.

Thank you for uploading. A farmer is never off work bu.t please take care of yourself. Covid is no joke and comes back with no warnings whatsoever. We can wait, your health is more important, to you and your family especially.

Good man Adrian. That’s a lot of hard work and you suffering from the Covid. It just shows us farmers have to keep going no matter what. Keep up the good work. See you on Saturday

Hi Adrian,,a scoup on ur front gate to keep there heads up works for me.need to keep there heads up for longer.

get well soon thank you

We invested in a head scoop for dehorning and dosing, great for putting in the calcium bullets after calving. Saves the dislocated shoulders too.

Another good one Adrian,not easy to be out working when under the weather,dont over do it if you have covid because it will catch up with you when you think you are right again,i had covid probably 2years ago now and i thought nothing of it,but about 2 weeks after it had gone i got this brutal pain in my lower back and side couldnt do anything,as it turned out it was a kidney infection which came about as a result of covid and not taking the rest when i should have ,my system was run down,mind yourself Adrian that covid is a curse👍

Adrian, sorry to hear you’ve got C. I have the same symptoms, but for me, I think it’s old age 😢 I’ve watched several folk use the same applicator, and similar results. Some cattle manage to spit a bunch back out.

SPRING hooks look a great job

The goweil bale shear would be the simplest and easiest to use imo I’ve used them all the thats what I’ve found. Done different from the rest of them it’s very hard to miss the plastic with it

Great video Adrian covid is no joke it's here to stay. Hope you get better soon

Love your content brother

Hope you get well soon adrian..

Great video Hope you're feeling better soon Hubby uses the cow in front to hold the head up but you need a bit of help😅

Try the easy swing cow brush like Tom pemberton they are a brilliant job very robust cows love scratching and playing with them

I'd say the keltec bale shear is the one works well for me on 100 hp case with rear weight wouldn't b without it look after yourself with that flue

Get well soon Adrian

Hi Adrian hope I’ve spelt your name correctly I’m compelled to watch your every video when you get a minute could you please explain drying a cow off I’ve just googled it and I’m sure others might not know what it is hope you feel better and just like to say what fantastic videos you put out your recommendations for Karen Moynihan and the sheep Shepard were spot on all the best John from Wakefield

get well soon ,,, head scoop would be a big help ,,not sure your sculling gate will let the head up high enough ,,,,hook might work with them in tight in the crush easier that the gate keep up the good work

Need get crush gate keeps head up.nice Christmas present.for ya

Get well soon Adrian and family. That covid is a hoard of a dose. Fair play to you for putting up the video and you dying with the dose.

Get wel soon.

Hope you're soon tickety boo, Adrian 😊

Watch Sonne Farms. They have an attachment on the front of their crush to hold the cow/calf head up until they swallow the drench. Hope this helps. Hope you are soon better.

The Corrs Adrian, The Corrs best thing for high bp. (Way better than Celine Dion)👍Went to their last Concert (for this tour) in Christchurch, NZ on Saturday night. Been on a high ever since! 😃

I have one of those guns and I can't make any hand of it. Great video

I have a hooked drencher, there's way more of a bend back on mine and the length of the mouthpiece is about half the length of yours. I find it way better to does them in the crush rather than in the head gate as they usually swing their heads back up. There's very little spillage if any at all. I'll try send a video of it through your website or Facebook.

get well soon.

Give yourself time to recuperate it really zaps your energy for along time.

Get well soon

We bought that exact gun and had the same issues with it. There was more on the floor than in the cattle even with a scoop. The product ran out of the hook onto the floor emptying the pipe and when you squeeze the gun half times you felt like it was only refilling the pipe. A very frustrating and expensive enough failed trial on our part. Still haven't got a efficient replacement.

Good video

To keep the cows head up get a pallet under her neck which means she can't put her head down. Works well for drenching, working on eyes etc

Great video. I think the tine grab and a Stanley knife only job for bales. Them dosing guns are a 2 person job. Long pipes getting caught in the animal and the crush. A pour on for cows is extremely handy

I hope you feel better soon, Covid has so many random symptoms.

About the rod for dosing my dad hates them same problem as you the animals kept throwing it out of their mouth he started using closemectin its ot a yellow box very dear stuff but all you Need is a gun screw it to the bottle and pour it down their back it's around 400 euro for 3 litres

How ya Adrian, have a hook ,turns into a weapon when cattle not corporate n ,had to give it up ,but I found after caming down to fill the shoot tight with head up and dose pac on back like school bag and boom job dune ,tins is with store beef different for you incalf cows , about the silage cutter ,I duna would it cut silage pit , be another job to justify buying wan .Good job 🤔👍🏿

I use a head lock in our crush to keep animals head up helps with the dose but they always let a bit out
