Good job, chickory looks unbelievable

Hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year. I am trying my best to beat COVID. I feel really rough, but so glad i have your KZread channel to keep me entertained. Farm looks amazing. Keep bringing the vlogs there are brilliant.

That little Bull has got attitude so on the truck. Gee that spreading truck has a nice sound to it.Merry Christmas to you and your Whanau. Special mention to your Dad for embracing new technology sometimes reluctantly and he is younger than me 😂

Merry Christmas to you too! Hope you have a great time with family and friends over the festive season. He comes around eventually 😉😂

Great to see some Jersey crosses back in the paddock,👏 Send all the black and white back to dutchland and the M bug💢

Great video. We put our cow's on chicory 1/2 hectare hour a day 360 cow's strips or square brake no back fence depending on the paddock size 3 or 4 days very surprising how fast they eat it

I’ve heard that before actually! Great little tip, maybe it should try it next time 👍

Those bulls sound rough and tough.

They put the lime on at night here in the Burdekin North Queensland mainly due to the wind during the day, whereas it is normally quite still at night here. Well if there isnt a cyclone about.

👀🙄🐾👍🎄Great video Andy cattle and crops are looking good did you guys get the shitty weather 13/12/23?

Could do with some rain locally, that SW wind has really dried out the paddocks around Ngahinapouri. And that wind has buggered the peach trees, almost the entire crop is on the ground. Grrrrr!

Just came across this. "JAGYU© is Dawe Estates premium beef brand. Our special Wagyu/Jersey hybrid animals brings the taste qualities of Wagyu to the surplus calves of a our partners Jersey dairy herd. Wagyu and Jersey both have natural intra muscular fat “Marbling” that gives extra flavour to the meat."

Those wagyu/jersey one i processed a while back certainly didn’t meet our expectations, little underwhelmed to be honest, hope the next ones better 🤞 Wagyu also have a longer gestation length

At what seed rate do you sow your chicory and how many years do you leave it down for?

Can you tell me what that well is for?

Don’t want to put them over the heifers, want easy calving

First comment!

They sure love that chicory not sure if anyone in the UK grazes chicory it's not something I've seen. So how does it work with your bulls do you buy 4 new bulls from someone each year then you use them for x weeks to clean up then they go off for meat ?

@TheOnceADayFarmer

Yep buy them from the same person, my stock agent sorts it out. 4 new ones which go with the heifers then the cows the following year then to the works after that

Don't trust bull I got attacked when I was working on a farm he smashed all my discs in my back
