Looks like you have some birdlife, maybe pigeons, that have taken up residence in your tractor shed.

In the US here. I bought some Lucas, Quigley and Mohaka the other day from CRV. I have a Jersey/Angus cow bred to Lucas. I've bred my Guernsey to Mohaka, hoping she settled.

Awesome, it's a lovely spot up there!

You grow as much grass in the winter as we grow in the summer in the UK. We can,t graze in the winter from about Nov to April ish too too wet, this year was even worse. They would be up to their hocks in mud. We don't get a holiday for the Kings birthday in the UK how weird is that! Obviously NZ and Aus think more of the King than we do😂😂

Buenas soy de cuba las vacas que usted seca la mantiene en la granja Cuando empiezan los nacimientos. En su país se puede sembrar la Mambosa y el Pasto Estrella es una hierba muy buena para la ganadería aquí en América latina se siembra mucho

Sound was fine, simple is often better especially on a functional farm you don’t have a lot of time to mess with technology 😂

Hey Andrew love your videos. just wondering what day you will be at the field days?

Good videos mate. Hey are you still milking once a day? 540kg on once a day? Do you mind sharing your herd average kgs? Your doing a great job! Why two wheel motor bike? I am thinking of getting a two wheeler as much cheaper and i ride motorcycles off farm anyway. Hope you have a great year ahead. Cheers

Strange the only place not to have a holiday on Kings birthday is the UK

Andrew, do you ever try lucerne?

@TheOnceADayFarmer

Ай бұрын

No I haven’t, it’s a good dry land crop and does well. But quite expensive to grow, like it need harvesting 3-4 times a year so stick to grass. Maybe if we had a runoff close by I’d give it a go

What product are you spreading this time of year, we can't spread in ireland after September for approx 4 months

@peasant5612

Think he was spreading Sustain which is Agrotain coated Urea. Other farmers will spread Ammo30 or 36 with or without the agrotain coating. Ammo is combo of Nitrogen and Sulphur. 30% N 14% S and 36% N 9% S

Is it just the season for mastitis cows during dry off? I’ve just treated 15 cows 😣

There is a percentage on you milk statement after each milking. Every collecting is recorded. In Ireland we get payed for fat + protein - water

1 milk solid is about 10 litres 👍 For jerseys it can be less as the milk is more creamy and for Holsteins it would be more
