Awesome job, great skills, milking and filming the same time! Now I even have more appreciation for the perfect milk I can buy each day at the supermarket. Thank you very much!

I am from Nepal. I studied animal science and have been working in this field for about 3-4 years. I would like to work on a cow farm in Ireland, would it be acceptable or not? If yes, what should be done?

I think you should cover those cubicles. It would be more comfortable for your cows. Imagine if we had snow. What a mess that would be. I have no time for outdoor cubicles. Its cruelty on cows. No matter what you say. Thanks for replying back. I am only thinking of cow welfare.
@pacurran73532 ай бұрын
Look we have 80 outdoor cubicles out of 300 if twas up to me they'd be all outdoor more natural environment cows don't care if its pissing rain down on top of em it depends on temperature n direction of rain outdoor cubicles are better than being heaped up at a wire or ditch plus the rain washes the mats we are custodians of what we own n do n cow welfare is no 1

@@patrickbrennan6449 Cows can live perfectly well in very cold conditions, they are out wintered in snow in the US and Canada. You'd be surprised at how their coat changes and even the cattle you breed harden up when they're outdoors. They do eat more though and people house them for a lot of reasons but welfare isn't the main one. Imagine, cows aren't meant to live in house's! 😂😂🤦
@MCMilkingIt2 ай бұрын
@patrickbrennan6449 before we built these we trialed the 60s and the cows really liked them. Our cows are crossbred and are fairly hardy. For years we also outwintered and the cows outside always did better than those in the shed.

Having owned Ford/New Holland diggers with back acters at the same time as owning a jcb tm 300 there is no comparison. Hands down the telescopic loader wins in every single scenario bar digging a hole for a corner post/sleeper. Both have their place but the versatility of a telescopic loader is unmatched

You could get a sleeper or two to stop the cows in the calving pen from dragging straw onto the slats, probably a bit late with the advice if you haven’t done it already

Why do you put the backhoe on one side it might be putting more weight on one side than other. Tyre wear and all. There might be a reason for this. Please let us know.
@nigelmchugh55413 ай бұрын
When it's folded around, the weight is centralised. If you have the arm in the middle, it sticks out a lot more, much more chance of hitting it off something when reversing.

A touch of spray on the freshly calved by the night calver helps to mark cows, easier than reading tags. 300 grams of soya/head also very good for precalvers Top marks on the vet deck

Great idea! Colostrum quality is still pretty good. I hear the soya helps that too
