Thanks for this video really important to combat all the nonsense you hear about the male dairy calves

Yourself and Tom pemberton are mad for the calf cuddles🤣🤣 great video, showing the amount of effort farmers put to there livestock👍👍

Great video Phil, worthwhile spending the time to show the actual truth about what happens to calves instead of the b.s. Some groups try telling.

Well said Phil this was a definite topic that someone needed to address. Irish farmers (any farmers) are just very underrated. Keep up the videos Phil 💪

Well done Phil. Very well explained for people outside of farming. When you see calfs running and jumping around as they are in your pens they are happy.

In really glad you covered this subject and it's nice to see well kept happy healthy calves keep up the good work Phil.

Good man Phil,just the sort of video needed. Informative and truthful. Show people exactly what does happen to animals on a farm.

Great video. Fair play to ye for putting the truth out there about the way the calves and animals are looked after by the farmers and not myths that people put up on social media without facts.

Great video. No room for waste here in Ireland.

Great video Phil. Some people are brain dead when it comes to farming. They don’t have a clue how it works. You explained that very well.

Well said Phil, I was in livestock all my life and I was very successful and I agree what you said about the treatment of animals, you have to treat them right to be successful. Great vid.

Great video. Its good to see how things are done in your corner of the world. There are so many people who have no idea what is the truth about farming & spread all sorts of stories that are no true. Your calves are so happy & well looked after. I.am looking forward to more of your videos.

Great video, Phil. You and Emma made many good points and it was fascinating to watch. Thank you both.

Great Video, well done for telling the story to get rid of those myths.

Savage vid Phil, showing the truth about dairy calves.

Great vid. Very informative, it’s so obvious that you really love your calves ! Clifford

Mighty explaining and promoting there Phil. Thanks!

Thanks Phil, very important that we (public) know the story behind our meat. Too many people don't see beyond the plastic packed in the supermarket.

Great video Phil that’s a great system you have in the shed for them you can see they are well cared for

Great video it explains a lot well done 😀😀

That was a great video, gets the message out about responsible farming. Look after yourm stock and they will look after you, once again thanks Phil.

Excellent video Phil. Great to see the true story of Calves in Ireland. Keep up the good work and best of luck with this years crop of calves they look really well with you.

good man phil. well spoken and great points made. keep it up👍

Good man Phil , I am sick of the bull about dairy bull calves on the Internet, in fact very few dairy bull calves have any jersey in them and the high ebi calves tend to be good thick Cattle, the same lad has been buying our calves for years and reckons that between the calves getting better for beef and him getting better at rearing them he has an extra 30 kg of carcass over what he sold just five years ago, he told me that last year out of 254 calves he lost 3 and one of them committed suicide by hanging himself in the fork of a tree. I reckon that is a credit to the lads he buys off for giving them a good start and him as a stockman for looking after them well, he does all bullocks and sends them for slaughtering at about 30 months he brings in about 100 calves before Christmas and the rest in February March , that way he spreads the workload and has cattle to go spring and early summer and autumn early winter which spreads his risk a bit and helps cash flow, we needed this video to put the record straight and to let the general public know the truth anyway anyone that abuses their stock won't do so for long as it is the quickest way to go broke,you don't look after them they won't look after you its that simple!

Well done phil, great insight to your industry, great to see such happy calves and your dedication to animal welfare, profit only comes from good systems and hard work, both of which you and father Phil are industry leaders,

Great video Phil, nice for others to see what's really going on 👍

Good Man Philip well said and you do amazing work with your calf’s and bulls there well cared for and well fed keep up the great work.. 👍🏻

Very interesting and well explained .Phil a great video and should be put on national tv ,

excellent video. well done to Phil and Emma for explaining the system of dairy beef. I do know that the vast majority of farmers care for their stock and bring on the best possible animals. There are rules and regs and most of them follow it, but , as in life, there are those who don't follow the rules. The feeding thing is a bit like horses - you make a routine and feed and exercise at the same time every day and you get a calm and responsive animal.

I'm a Canadian visitor to your channel on an exploring farm life journey in GB and Ireland. The challenge of learning to understand the differing accents has been an unexpected bonus. It's fascinating that your local Irish and the Lancashire dialects sound very similar to my ears!

Awsome video farmer Phil nice 👍 looking calf’s stay safe 👍👍🚜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧👩‍🌾😷😷

great video Phil. good to show people what;s going on, cheers

Very good video Phil hit all the points and the colostrum is the big thing with calves

Good man Phil, great video 👌 Unfortunately it only takes a few bad eggs to give the farming or any other industry a bad name. Well done on setting the record straight. 🖒

Bang on fella!, no one out there could give you a bad comment, you deserve praise

Thank you so much for the information.

Very interesting video Phil. Well done

Great video farmer Phil, farmers need to be transparent so they can dispel all the crap that’s put about how they make a living. The financial side is your business, and so long as animal welfare is paramount that’s what will satisfy the general public. Keep up the good work, your parents must be proud 💪

Great video Phil well done for showing the real story

Well done brilliant video farmers do have pride im a dairy farmer 👍

Nice one Phil. Great video, very informative and interesting. If calves could talk, they would probably say "nobody does it better than Farmer Phil"

Nicely done thnk u for all us dairy framer

Thanks Phil ! 👍🍺🇺🇸 Good content. Dont know how you keep up with everything. 😜😜 Thanks

Great video keep them coming 🚜🇮🇪☘️

Brilliant video phil

I was just talking to an "animal recovery" man just a few moments ago, and I was asking him about Bobby calf's, and he said, it was common enough 20+ years ago, but with education, sex semen, bigger export market and better money for them its a rare sight to be seen now. The calf market to going to increase even more since a lot of young beef farmers are dipping there toes in the dairy sector as an added income. Brilliant video Phil, looking forward to Part 2.

There was definitely no bobby calf’s 20 years ago because dairy cow numbers were relatively low because of milk quotas , in my opinion any farmer who doesn’t care properly for a baby calf shouldn’t be issued with a herd number to keep cattle .

@@ethanearle9457 I don’t know where you’re from, but I’m afraid you’re wrong. “Bobby” actually comes about, because that is all you were able to get for a Bobby calf in the early days, one bob. I have some of my grandfathers diaries that he wrote everything he earned annually in. They go back to the early 1930’s, and yes there is income from Bobby calves in them.

@ he said there were no Bobby calves 20 years ago. I’m saying that Bobby calves were being sent in the 1930’s. So YES there were. Also considering we bought our first farm in 1988, and we’re sending Bobby calves then as well, would suggest that Bobby calves were around long before 20 years ago. Read All of the posts properly.

Well said Phil ,everything your after saying needed to be said by someone in the buisness to counter the garbage and bullshit that out there. Most of us couldn't stay in buisness if we hadn't regard and care for the animals, there isn't much money for us in the knackery

Great video very well explanded

Class video Phill 👍🤠

Good man Phil, well said

Well done farmer Phil well said

I hope you brought home the calf that was running round like a racehorse, you defo need him in your life, lol. Brilliant video and yes I would love to see more like it. Was great to see you chilling with the calves at the end.

Well said Phil

Good informative video!

Phil how do you tell if the tags have the built in EID tag? As in they dont need the button tags ye put on

Great video

great video

it is interesting dairy farm practice and explanation , please some info how your government support and encouragement to the farmers, it will be the lesson for my country, Ethiopia and the like

Great vedio 👍

Great video Phil really enjoyed that!! Dont let the green fantasy party suck you in!!!

Phil looking at you're video of the bulls you weighed what age and there average

☘🇮🇪great vlog Phil

How many calves to you buy in each year?

Where do ye get your milk for the calves

Where in Ireland I’m Kerry

Great video Phil, not just interesting but really good production and editing too. Very slick

Class vids

Love vids love calves

fantastic Phil get the truth out there

It's probably similar in the uk

Is there a 40k live stream coming up Phil????????

Good Video Phil. A point about vegans! you showed irish farming practices and farmers and committed to animal welfare and dispelled some myths....don't prejudice an entire group so to speak and educate yourself. Some on here are cheering that sentiment, while shouting "you tell those vegan b******s!". I'm from a farming background,I eat meat,my partner is vegan. She is not throwing rocks at cattle trucks or whatever myth you might hear. She is not an activist. She just made a choice about what she eats. In the spirit of the video I suggest those people keep an open mind about vegans. An "us vs them" attitude is counter productive

That what I was thinking about the live export y would they want to be cruel if they get a cut in the price

Love vids

Look they play around. That's cute

Nice

Is that the 400 cow farm ye pipe slurry for?

More of this way of life needs to be taught in schools so from a young age they are fully conscious of what they eat and not influenced by people of little knowledge and un educated judgement

how did you realise that certain calves needed a coat?
