Adrian, your cinematic grasp of video creation is top-notch! You use multiple cameras for some tasks, and edit the views like a professional film director. For example, the drilling of the hole in the calving pen back wall, for chain attachment. I do notice and appreciate the thought, effort and time that you exert in making these videos for us. THANKS! From Evelyn in Minnesota

The Cavan Calves are Calving 👍👍

Adrian, the excitement in your voice shines through. You are a good caring person. 👍

Calvin in Cavan. Great way to start the year 👍👍

Another perfect video Adrian, noticed Bailey and Hudson waiting to start work 😄 you will be pleasantly surprised how much water you’ll collect off the roofs. Wow first two cows to calf both giving heifers, very good start to the year 🍻

We can only dream of concrete floors and yard space 😂 Thanks for the video!

Best of luck with the calving Season ...............All your cows close to Cavan class lol

Gotta say lovely markings on that 1st calf

Your girls are great for helping out, fair play to them

I write hours and date on new filters when changing them. Helps you remember (but then I am getting old) I then order a replacement so I have one on the shelf for next time.

Hi Adrian I worked on a farm a few years ago and we put a tank in to collect rainwater but we had to get rid of it after a few months all it was doing was the wash down in the parlour and yard but we got a huge problem with E. coli mastics our vet and a guy that came out to check our problems sed it was birds droppings on roof washed in to tank was the problem bird shit with E. coli about 2 weeks after we stopping using rain water problem solved

This is a good and cheerful video. Just what we need. Whilst my area is unaffected and life goes on normally, just a few hundred kilometres north of me, the people of Noto are still struggling in the aftermath of the New Year's Day earthquake. So 'Hope' was a good choice of name for their sake as much as it is for you and your farm. Good choice Adrian.

Hello from SWEDEN! I like your films and work! Ihave also Fergusons at my farm, 5455,4255,698,675 and ferguson -55 diesel.THANK YOU!

the door hinges just add new washers onto the pins between the hinge tubes... sometimes when the door refuses to lift off or its too heavy i get a thick washer cut a slot out for the pin and then jack up the door slide the washer in nad tac weld it to one half of the hinge.

Brilliant great start to the new year Adrian 👍

Absolutely wonderful Adrian, certainly brings joy and warmth to the soul. Much needed on a cold day.

Fair play your farm is a credit to you. Everything is spotless. You’re on top of the every job! 👌🏻👍🏻

Great video Adrian. Good start to the calving (Cavan) season. Long may it last 👍🏼. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

Like the grinder Adrian I have one and it’s definitely worth the money, best of luck with calfing season

The little boyish smile when you quoted Crocodile Dundee. Stay young. Congrats on the new calf.

Best of luck with the calving Season. Great videos Thanks

Adrian. Try Rays Concrete Grooving. He's a Cavan man. We got a good bit done. Would save a cow and more importantly a person from slipping 👍

What a great 2 degree Fahrenheit morning to wake up and watch your sunny video this morning Adrian!! 6” of snow on the ground in MI and beautiful green in your fields! Love your videos and thank you again for sharing your days with us!! ❤

And so it begins. Super stuff Adrian best of luck for 2024 calving. 👍

It was me on the phone, i was just about to say you've got oil all over your hands 🤣

Idea for your latch pin on your sagging door is bevel the end. Just enough so its starts in the hole. Love hearing you mention -4 degrees kinda warm in my books. -44 hear in northern Alberta. Add in the windchill becomes -51. Not a farmer, machine guy, but like the idea of the calf coat/cover. Be careful on the ice Sir. No rushing about.

its amazing adrain how we are goinging back to old ways in regards to harvesting water my late father's home house had a tank beside it to take the rainwater off the roof .good work as always lad hope you have a good calfing season

Thanks for the show Adrian 🍻 🇦🇺

Good one sir... yer busy as usual.. the extra work is starting for ya already 😮😊. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Adrian, another great video. You seem to be VERY accurate at predicting calving. It would be great if you could do an in depth video of what you see and feel when you know they're going to calve within 48/24/ 12 hours. I have a very small herd of beef shorthorns and tend to be thinking for days if not weeks they're about to pop. It would be very interesting. Thanks from Fermanagh!

Cracking choice of name, Happy New Year Adrian.

Great start for the New year. Welcome Hope and Sadie 🎉. Can't wait for the upgrades to the digger 😊

Great choice of name Adrian... "hope" We all hope that everything goes well for ALL OF US...God Bless 🙂

Well Hope is a good name for the new year on the farm.I hope it's a good one and a safe and healthy year for all your family and livestock.

Great video Adrian good luck with the calvan

Hi Adrian, have you ever tried using Mosgo green remover? I can’t recommend it highly enough. Spray it on the concrete(preferably in a dry spell) and let the rain do the rest. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

All the best to you and yours Adrian in 2024! Kristin in Boston

Great video Adrian as always hi you’ve probably heard this one before what has someone from Monaghan got in common with a pregnant cow …. there both near Cavan 😜🤣

Get yourself a ibc cube for water for power washing great job

Adrian did you ever try wet and forget? Great for keeping yard clean and keeping the algae away. Just spray on and the rain will do the rest. Leaves yards very easy to clean. Clarkes in cavan stock it

name one of the calves martin willam david and billiard thanks adrain big fan of the channel

Hope was the perfect choice!!! I thought you would leave the calves with their moms for a few days at least. Wouldn't it be better for them not to be separated so quickly? I know the Funky Farmer would love having a parlor like yours!!

Hello from waikato new Zealand just found you on utube and love your videos wondering how many cow's you are milking

That Algae can be very hazardous very well done, a lovely calf?

we got -26 c last night . Northern Canada

Put a washer between the hinches greetings from Holland

The weather here today is 0 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of minus 12 degrees Fahrenheit. Burr!

Nice video. Would there be 2 sump stud s on your tractor when u were changing the oil. Left and right??

Adrian what do you do with the dirty straw, bad silage etc? I don’t see any dung heap with you

You should try a turbo head on your pressure washer they work way better

👍

Lovely episode !! How long do the calves stay with their Mum before you move them ?

Did you drain the 2 sump bungs Adrian! The 4 wd shaft means there's a track in the sump and oil lies on both sides.

Adrian, I asked you a good while ago if you captured rain water, given the high demands for (expensive) water on a farm. You mentioned your well and that you’d be giving some thought to it. You did a bit of well restoration, are you using it? Will you catch rainwater from the other shed roofs?

@IFarmWeFarm

I still need to finish the well , I will film all. But yes within the next 1-3 years i will be harvesting the rain water from most of our roofs and using our well water if everything tests out ok.

We have a daisy and shes abit crazy and unpredictable

Watch if you put in a rainwater collection system as avian tb can be a big problem in some areas.

Hi,happy new year ,do not spray concrete hyper chloride that keep concrete perfect no slime

Hi Adrian, I see your website is out of stock for mugs since before Christmas, any idea when you'll have them again? Thanks, and good luck with the calving

hi adrian i had trouble with the tags falling out i switched to cormac tage a few years ago and not one of them fell out they are a godsend

What do u do with the straw out of the calving pens

Brintons Patio Magic twice a year via knapsack sprayer will sort that bloom and algae out

Adrian, i have a dairy cow question? If a cow has mastitis, but it only effects one teat, or two does that render the whole udder no good? Or can she still have functioning teats that will produce milk still? I figured since a cow has 4 teats and two are damaged can the others still function ok? I don't know too much about dairy cows or cattle in general, just wondering??

That's if and when you clear up the mastitis in the udder that is, will she still be some use?
