The cows lifting their tails going through the foot bath was just the best - like ladies lifting their skirt over a puddle 😂

Popped into the farm shop on Sunday. My boy said "are you going to be a fan boy if you see Tom, SO EMBARRASSING" he then bought a hat and said "can't believe I'm going to meet a real youtuber". Had to explain that it was a working farm and you might not be there. Then saw a black lab taking a lady for a walk and I think it was your Mrs P but she disappeared quick, probably because she was avoiding sad fan boys like me. Shout out to the young lass serving the breakfast barms. She was just about to give us ours when she apologised and said she didn't think the sausages were right and didn't want to serve us them. Shows she takes her quality control and customer service seriously. Bacon was lovely as was our first raw milk purchase. Honeycomb milkshake was delicious. The goats outside your mums window were super friendly too. I couldn't hang around because my curiosity wanted me to be naughty and start exploring the farm and our motorhome was blocking your car park. Lytham and St Annes were lovely towns too.

Having just seen sheep, lit up with colour changing lights to a soundtrack as an art installation, this idea appeals to me so much. Maybe I should mention the sheep weren't real.......but it was really good

I’m Australia we put a sticker with a paint coat that rubs when other cows Mount. You put them on cycling cows to identify them.

For the Raddle, mix it thinner & get a cheap garden spray pump applicator & spray the bull each day

Hehehe the highland calf was like mummy nooo ha stupid huumoon . Never a dull day in farming

I cant remember when I subscribed its been a couple few yrs now. You and your father have done so many great things on your farm its just amazing. Im so excited to see the new parlor.

We use to paint the cows top of tail on their back. But them started using stickers on cows that scratch off from bull moving. There is a bright colour under them..

Hey Nigel..... " YOU BEEN TANGOED "🤣🤣🤣

Well... This was an entertaining episode! It looks like "March Madness" is well underway. Lots of construction noise. Leaping Highlanders. Flashing bright colours. Best of all... Dancing - arm waving Tom and Luke.

I am 68 yr and remember, when I was 8, my uncle using a blue dye on his bull so he would know which cows were “served”. I had no idea what he was talking about. I was 8! This was on a Canadian dairy farm

Never thought of putting Agrimark Raddle on bulls front quarters to see if cows been mess with.Good job well done . Do 😮like the video their is always something different in each video .

I dont have a farm but love watching your cows.Thank you for showing your farm.x

Fert Stickers on the back of the cows. The NZ Once a Day Farmer, look at some of his older videos before he got collars. Best regards, Annie

Watched a video on you tube recently of a dairy farmer in limerick Ireland who was using the used detergent from the milking parlour to foot bath his cows instead of formaline

😂3:47 how clever are those cows ❤ knew the gate wasn’t tied and was gone 💨 😂

Morning Tom

Your dance clearly had the highlands baffled. 😂

Great video. You need to get 50-gallon drums filled with water, and you can use them all around the farm to tie up tempry fencing

Think you need to make the raddle thicker so it’s more like butter and it then won’t rub off as easily and last longer

When I worked at my relatives' dairy, they kept the cows in two groups. The one group was the older cows that wouldn't catch with AI, so they always kept a bull with that group. They also had an electronic sorting gate when they exited the parlor, so when we were milking and we saw a problem we could enter into a keypad that would put them in a holding pen for a better check. The farmer could also pick cows that he wanted to AI beforehand and they would be put in the holding pen as well. The funniest thing was it was a rotary parlor and the bull was shorter then the rest of the cows. He liked going around for a ride and would usually be the first one on and last one off. He would duck under the push bar and we had to back him off at the end. It was always a bit of a surprise when you were in a groove and you look up to find there was something other then an udder before you.

Good morning Tom!

Y'all are so funny. I'm a new viewer from San Antonio, Texas. Longhorn state. Beautiful country site there. We were station in mildenhall England.

Try a sack, close weave, that can be strapped to the bulls chest. Fill the sack with cotton wadding and string line chalk, your colour choice. You can make the part of the sack that contacts the bulls chest out of leather or canvas, so that the chalk only goes outwards towards the cows rump.

Hello Tom, about the bull marking, the ladies, sandi Brock puts paint on the ladies backside and lets the ball rub it off. Sandi says it’s much easier than trying to mark the boys.

Wow just wow. I had a dream awhile ago I was working with you guys on the farm and you raddled the bull with orange paint . My mind's just been blown 🤯🤯

Tom, there is a sheep farmer on KZread call Sandi Brock -Sheepishly Me. She marks her ewes instead of the rams. She paints a circle and the ewes bum, and when the rams mount them the paint smears and the rams transfer the paint on their chest. She clearly see the ewes that were mounted. Just an idea

Big Nige got tango’ed…. 😂❤

Tom, another great explanation of another day of life on a dairy farm. Keep up the great work. Be well and safe travels!

So much fun watching you. I live by if it can’t be fixed with balling twine and duct tape why get a new one.

Do good things, and good things will come. You've earned it all Tom!

Have u ever had a bull fall in the pit? It happened once on my uncles farm save to say he's lucky he earned his keep cuz it was not a cheap fix lol they dnt fall out a pit as easy as they fall in lmao

Hi Tom. Have you considered using Heat Detector Patches/Scratchies? They're super common in Australia, but cows aren't housed like your cows are. We apply them at the start of AI. Once cows are AI'd, we run a roll of paint over them in the AI race. Then during milking, all we have to do is look for scratched detectors to know who has been on heat since the last AI. They come in lots of different colors so you can always reapply a new color at the end of your first cycle so you can tell which cows are apart of what groups. Have to spend a bit of time to apply them initially, but makes it easy for all employees to see heats. I guess it won't determine whats been mounted by a bull or just another cow though.

Hello from Montana..maybe a bit of rubber mat in the bottom of the foot bath. might give better footing and more confidence to the cows when walking through..

We sheep sheppards have been using marking harnesses for ever.Me 39 yrs

Wow anyone else feeling Toms pain of not having the parlor? I pray that there isn’t any delays with the new one.

Here is a great idea I was told years ago ....If you are going to paint rattle Ect. First wipe Not wash dish soap on your hands like a skin cream stright no water let it dry then use gloves after you are done it will be so easy to wash off any paint ect. It makes life easey.

6:30 He lost that paintball match 😂😂

Cows looking fantastic! Loved how the one highland calf got away 😆

Happy place

I remember what my dad use to use. It was petroleum jelly and food colouring to make the ram.

Thank you for another brilliant video and I love your enthusiasm for everything you do on the farm. I am a bit late watching the video today as I moved today and right at the bottom of my garden is a freshly ploughed field as I now have a farm behind me 😁 I always wanted to be a farmers wife but sadly that never happened, so to be living with a farm at the bottom of my garden is magical to me. I hope the week goes well for you all xxxx

Tom there are spray marking paints you can use on the bull that are not quite as messy. Sandi Brock (Sheepishly Me on You Tube) uses it on her sheep all the time. Works well.

With all the stress of the bale its understandable fertility has suffered their all under stress like yourself chucking bull in is prob sensible, I know doubt activity collars will help be interesting to see how much improvement you get with them in time to come

Mix the raddle thicker and apply with a scrap of wood, you can scoop it out and smear it on and not get your go-pro dirty!

With the raddle mix grease with the oil and sticks and stays longer the bull

Great times!! A compliment from Dad and you're a farming GENIUS!!

Hey Tom, if I can make a suggestion? Instead of using motor oil mixed with the Raddle use an inexpensive food grade oil. You never know if the motor oil will cause any issues in your cattle ingest some. Better safe than sorry.

My dad use to do the same thing with the Rams at home when it bread the sheep. That was about 50 years ago. Love you videos.

You might want to check out the sheepishly me channel. Sandi uses a livestock marking paint on her ewes butts. They spray a thick coating on before putting the rams in. The ewes with smeared paint are the ones being bred. The rams doing the breeding will get that paint transferred to their chest. More paint transfer=more action. I would imagine it would be a lot easier to rattle can it on than what you just did. It would be fairly easy to reapply every few days as needed. Change the color weekly and you’ll have a good idea of which week the cow was bred.

Excellent work you are doing there tom, you'd lucky to have a guy like Luke, top man 👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Tom here in Australia we paint our cows tail section to where the bull or another cow would jump, if the paint has been rubbed off or ruffed up its a good indication of the cows coming into heat or is in heat.

Did the steelwork on a few units down the road from the farm, let's just say I ate at the farm shop most days. Keep up the good work Tom! 👏

It's always so enjoyable to see your video's Tom. There are many many time's when you weren't even trying to get info out but you did. I could listen to you and The Ging all day. I feel smarter after I'm done watching. Even with how busy you are you still make it a great watch. I don't know if anyone's told you this but you look so much like the Ging from the side profile of your face. Random I know but just an observation lol have a great day!

Thanks for the video, Tom.

Lots of great info. Glad you were able to set up a stop gap until you go back to your self filling foot bath. Could all of the activity, building, demo have an impact on the cows fertility? Maybe as things settle a little, or at least around their beds/stalls, things will just get better and better. And wow, Nigel is getting to be a big boy.

Afternoon Tom just got out of school quite literally love al your conte t and the farm progress keep it up

You had so much fun putting the raddle on the ram you just had to try it with Nigel . Great problem solving. I had wondered what you would do with your automatic foot bath temporarily unavailable. Keep up the great videos.

Check out Sandi Brock you tube channels she sprays paint on the rears of her ewe lambs . Then the paint is smeared during breeding time to show who has been mounted and who not.

There always has to be a gate crasher. Got to love plastic twine. Makes good corner insulators for electric fence polywire too. Enjoy watching your operation. Always learn something and I've grown up on a farm all my life.

When we used it to raddle rams we mixed the colouring powder with tractor grease and a really small amount of thick engine oil to make it mix reasonably well BUT it is still hard work mixing it.! Applied it with a short length of flat wood.

Sandi Brock uses paint on her ewe's back instaid of a harnass on rams, so when there is mounting, the paint gets smeared off, I don't know anything about sheep, and even less about cows, but might be something to think about?

Now now don't forget the "trouple" non standing ones, just there for the free tail paint!!!you'll be calling one of the red ones Una healy next!!!😂😂

Was in the farm shop on monday got a picture with tom thanks tom

Nigel is looking really good. So the next projekt has tobe a new calf building. Looking forward to new smoke bombs.😉😆

Another very interesting video

Hi Tom, great great stuff 👍Very good information on cow foot dip. Keep the good work up

Good video Tom

Super video,milking the bull with no milk,great idea.

Enjoy your Channel, and learning quite a lot from you.

I like the way you think Tom and you are a great problem Solver. It will be great when the new parlor is funshad.

A dairy farmer beside us paints the top of the tail of the cows with a lime based paint (not 100% sure what the paint is), that way when the bull does the business he knocks the paint off the cow so he knows when the cows come in to milk that the job is done 👍

I see sheep breeders put paint on the backs of their sheep and can tell if they gotten breed by the paint being smeared. Use different colors if you use more than one bull.

Tom you've done it again. Taking a tried and trusted fertility marker for sheep and making it work for cattle, ok so you needed to paste more on than usual to see if it worked and by the look of the video it was a 60/40 + success. Talk about thinking outside the box! As a stop gap method while all the changes are going on I reckon your decision was nothing short of genius! Glad to see you managed to wash off the residue dude. Not a good look being covered in Raddle and looking like an Oompa Loompa. 🤔🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so funny. I can't believe you turned your back on them to talk to the camera 🙈😱 that could have ended so differently. Clever how you tricked the adults into going out into the field first. They weren't expecting you to catch the calf they left behind. Great video 👏👏👏

Another great vlog Tom keep them coming. The new milking parlour is that bit closer.

Tail paint the cows, when it runs off you know bull has been with them

The cow on 14:47 standing behind and looks like "Oh, he is talking, do he mean me? What is he trying to tell me with his gesticulations, where the hell is he pointing at?" 😂

Tom, Have you ever listened to Doctor Temple Grandin? She is a genius for observing animal behaviour and livestock handling systems, removing stress and making life better for livestock.

Mate, just put a white board up with all the cows names. Give Nige a marking pen and he can tick them off as he goes through the herd 😂😂

Great stuff. Thank you. Can you walk us through how the milk is getting from the temporary parlor to the bulk tank? What does that look like?

Awesome video Tom love the raffle idea I’m sure a harness type contraption can be put together a bit like the horses martingale I’m so excited to find out how many coos are in calf and whose calves are whose (AI or Junior/Nigel ) x

Have you considered tail painting cows to be able to see when they are on heat, we find it works really well 👍

I think with the changes to the farm witch is in inevitable , think stress will play a park of fertility like you said some cows at your farm all they even know is the parlour …. Love the outside the box thinking you use ❤❤❤ keep put great work and love to all at permbertons farm

Tail paint for the cows.... take rattle and paint the cows instead..when it's rubbed off indicates heat usually

Great job Tom

Excellent video today

Great idea to paint your bull!

2nd! GOOD MORNING TOM,LUKE,HIEDI,AND THE GINGER GUY WITH A MUSTACHE! The progress is amazing! The new parlor is going to be a game changer. Then on to the next project. Planning a trip to visit the farm. Will be in the spring sometime. What do you charge for a week in your house you have fixed up? Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA

The Raddle is a good idea 👍👍😎😎

Hi Tom, great video. Have you got the last service date written down or last bulling date, add 21 days and 42 days since calved cows and tail paint them using different colours every week/month and see which ones have it rubbed off would then mean bull has served them. Keep doing what your doing, they are probably out of routine which is affecting fertility. Also maybe put the bath in for the first half of cows that come through the parlour, then put it in for 2nd half the next day so they all get a good dose in the footbath.

A friend of mine has something similar but for Sheep he has this thing where it's like a harness and it has a canister on it and you fill it full of chalk as the ram Breeds with the Sheep it puts the chalk onto the girls so he knows which ones have been bred I've never even knew there was such a thing
