Hi Charlotte. Thanks for the mention. Your stainless steel sheet is the best thing to do. It is something we need to do. My idea of the chain we put on ours is to keep the shoes off the floor because they wear out very quickly and cost every time they need replacing. In dairy farming every farm is different. Don’t worry about what is right and wrong on farming disisions . Just do what your heart tells you. If it doesn’t work one way try it another way. Keep smiling. Richard Wheelwright. @yorkshirefarming We are busy silage making here and spreading the sh1t. I’ll get a video out soon.

Love your naughty cows 😂. Sat and watched a couple of your vlogs with one off my 90+ year old clients today. Her husband was a dairy farmer for 30+ years and she was fascinated by your robots and how much somethings have changed since they were farming.

Helen I love this so much honestly you have made my day I bet he thought we were crackers x x x

Fantastic video Charlotte, calf’s and lambs, what more do you need, I think the cattle at the beginning were taking in that amazing view from their new home 😂👍🏼, also the flies were Mayfly I believe, they only live for 1 day , poor sods 👍🏼💛🍻

You're doing a great job, I love Jersey cows, but I was brought up with Hereford's in Australia, before I moved to the UK in 1985 as a lad. Hope you have a good sleep, and a chance to catch your breath. All the best, Allan Black, Tywyn, Southern Snowdonia.

Love the mountain climbing sheep and the new adorable very naughty Jersey cows! However I do have to stick up for them on one thing, I'm sure they removed the keys from the unattended Bobcat as part of their daily health and safety checks 🤣 Thanks for the extended video, its nice every now and again but do appreciate how much effort it must take to do and edit in-between the farming 👍

7.33 that cow definitely knew she was being filmed, she was thinking, no way do I want this on World Star Hip-Hop channel.

If you have two fresh cows in a row you can cancel the rinse between the two so it will only wash out once!

Hi Charlotte! Milk fever- complicated subject, but can be reduced dramatically throu correct diet to the dry cows, especially pre 3 wks from calving and switching diets as soon as they calve to milking cow ration. Feed a fresh calver milking mix as soon as they calve- I hope your feed advisor has told you this and about v low calcium, dry, bulky pre calving ration then to the milking cow ration. Spotting cows early as possible with MF makes a lot of difference- watch v fresh calvers closely for the signs, get them up, move them around and I'd defo put them into that separate area nxt to the robots, not the main shed coz last thing you want is one down in the sh#t, can't grip to get up and in the way of scraping up etc. Myself I've always kept older cows, 3, 4 th lactation cows on straw for 3 days. Also 1st milking, never take too much milk off an older cow, 6-8 liters plenty, then more nxt milking, after that should be ok. Removing say 15-20 liters increases a chance of MF as the cow needs more calcium, so will take it from her already border line body. I hope some of these comments I make make sense to you, if you want to ask any advice, plz ask me, no prob.

Ian I’m saving that whole comment honestly your a total star, yes I’ve been watching them we have the feed in place and some very very eye wateringly expensive nuts for the dry cows 🐄 we are considering using the handling system for fresh calved cows with a portable machine before they go into the big shed

Hi Charlotte that was a lovely Sunday video, they cows look like they are settling in and having fun😊. We got 4 sheep what does not belong to my self or neighbours roaming around, the owners have moved as well and they can't catch them. It's getting to be a real pain, and we had two late nights trying to catch them. They went missing on the 20th of April. Your sheep look very well behaved 😊

Hi charlotte. You can cancell the risne after clostrum cows. Milk them together then do a rince.

Great video lady Ashley, get yourself a magnet on a rope for recovery from tanks ,those cows are little characters 😂

Milkbar compartment feeder are a great help rearing calves 5 feeders are the business. You should buy a home pasteriser if your drinking the raw milk.mullinahone coop

Thank you so much!!

You’re doing great! Don’t over think the calves!! We raise them single for a few days if we can. But then we move them into group pens of up to 6. It works really well. Jersey calves aren’t “beefy” and will need coats even in this weather or if it gets rainy and chilly. Especially if your building is cold. They can’t regulate their temps until 6wks old. Your calf pens are great. Oh and I TOLD YOU SO!!! 🤪Never leave tools, keys or equipment around Jerseys 😂😂

Stick them in the bull pens, go with tried and tested to start with but guessing you will need extra pens long term though.

Another great video loving the information you’re given.

Great video as always Charlotte

The weather is nice and good luck with the calf's.

You are lots more stressed than that cow. Sweets can cure anything. Thanks for showing the robot milking; I'd like to see more of that. All axes have a second life as hammers.

If we were still part of the EU, we would soon be having to start keeping a minimum of 2 calves together while rearing them

Good evening Charlotte

That concrete is still New you know. Concrete can take 6 months or more to set property.

Great video, glad things are going well, lovely legs 😊😊

Happy Mother’s Day ✌️ 🇨🇦

Spend some time just clicking around the Lely program. I always do that when starting with a new (to me) management program, just to see what information there is and where it is. As long as you don't confirm anything you won't be messing anything up.

The Jersey cows are so funnily nosey. Where is the bendy nose cow ?

Great video as per usual, that beef shorthorn is a pretty calf - i think second to a jersey

Stick at it las you are doing okay. It takes time. You will get there and you will just know.

Excellent video Charlotte - great to see that the cows are behaving so well! All appears to be going well, hope you and Roy are enjoying your new life!

Great to see you getting into the Daily routine management of the dairy herd. How long will you keep the beef cross cattle ?? 😊 Great video of " naughty Cooos"😊

Good video Charlotte, good to see things are going well. Lovely calves , and great to see new life on the farm. Just to let you know have had another telegram message, deleted it as I know its a hoax and a scam .

I think your daughter might like bottle feeding the calves and if you grow your calves out for beef you'll have animals to eat the marginal silage. You could always put a fan to circulate the air in your calf rearing shed and use that corner pen for storage.

Oh.., check to see if your cows all have magnets!!!! If you’re going to be feeding them keys they’ll need em.

@@charlotteashleyfarm some may already have them? Could be in the records. You can also check with a compass- pass it low on their side and the needle swings. It’s definitely the thing to do. But you have to put out on a schedule for the heifers or it’s easy to forget on some when things get crazy. Hence the compass trick to check

Easy fix drill a hole into the bolt below the nut and put in a split pin problem solved

to my mind taking calves away from there mothers straight away doesn't seem the right thing.....moraly or practicaly........to me it looks like a hard way of rearing calves......you milk the cow then carry the milk to the calves to let them drink it ........just think if you had 20/30/40 calves to feed every day how much work that is going to involve........when we were milking we use to let the calves suckle there mothers and then milk the cows ........it was a easy way of doing it but there wasn't so much milk to put in the tank. how was the farm assurance audit.........did you enjoy it
