Its annual TB test time
This is always a very busy and stressful few days with the annual TB test hanging over us. Now Scotland is Tb free so for most farmers here, it's every 4 years for testing. We are annually because we run such a high percentage of Irish cattle.
We have to do this testing by law and it has to be done by a trained professional.

I messed up...
Просмотров 6 тыс.7 часов назад
I have no spare feed rings so I've had to use some of the feeders Davy made for our old lambing set up. The tups were also in need of a fresh shift on the neeps so I had my sister, Sarah, giving me a hand to speed it up. Took my empty ewes to the mart and got decent trade for them. But in doing so, I bashed Davys brand new trailer... Merch Store: livestockfarmher.com Big Thank You to Te Pari wh...

Mucking out the calving shed and getting it all ready for the spring cows coming off the hill. Autumn cows get a juggle around and batched up to make room.Heifers come in first then followed on by the cows. Calving and lambing is not far away!

Sheep scanning complete!
Просмотров 7 тыс.День назад
I took our gimmers and ewes off the hills and down closer to the farm for scanning. First up was the gimmers, started off with a few singles which I was concerned about but it soon picked up. Followed swiftly by the ewes, who again didn't disappoint. Overall we have less empties, less triplets and more twins which is ideal!

We made our own fun...

The snow is very much still here and we get a little bit more everyday. Roads shut and ski centre shut meant we had to make our own fun. There was plenty of work to get done but sometimes you need to take a little time out to enjoy some fun in the snow. Freezing temperatures proving tricky for getting about the yard in and water pipes frozen. Merch Store: livestockfarmher.com Big Thank You to T...
Why are gimmers like this?

We get hit with some snow and it's only getting worse. Texels are moved to higher ground as we've had a lot of rain, then the snow comes behind it. Makes everything a little harder and takes twice as long. Merch Store: livestockfarmher.com Big Thank You to Te Pari who sponsor my channel here on RUclips.

Cows get a much needed muck out

Tups are onto the neeps but my fencer wasn't playing ball... Mucked out the top cattle court which was needed. We can get about 6 weeks of muck in there before the cows start getting to high up.

Tups are on their holidays so heading to the neeps for winter but I need new fencing equipment as I'm using the current bits for the ewe lambs. We also got a sheep inspection, ive never been part of one of these before, I'm stressed and anxious. Lets see how it goes...

5 weeks have flown past and the tups have hopefully been working hard. Gimmers (2 year old sheep) are kept separate still until after scanning in January. Ewes are heading back to the hill. All are marked but hopefully they will be full of lambs. Merch Store: livestockfarmher.com Big Thank You to Te Pari who sponsor my channel here on RUclips.

Scanned the texels...
Просмотров 10 тыс.Месяц назад
I was nervous about this day but turns out I didn't need to be. The girls have done me proud! I think one of the best pregnancy scanning results in our pure texels. As you may remember, I synchronised the texels back in September to keep a tight lambing and a few more than I would have liked repeated. But thankfully the tups were working hard and the ewes are full of lambs! Merch Store: livesto...
Its pretty, but a pain...

The snow continues to get worse over the course of this week. Well into the winter routine now as every morning starts the same. First bales of silage out to my early lambing mules and texels to help keep condition, energy and protein levels up as they are hopefully further on in lamb than main lambing ewes. New merch has also been added with sports t-shirts and rugby shirt! Merch Store: livest...

We say goodbye to another batch...
Hi Nicola, another big day on the farm and the team pulled it off again. Your dad would be so proud of you, first taking on all the admin work, organising all the sheep in the paddock and the cows / calves in the sheds. A job well done and I know your mum would also be very proud of you. A shout out to Davie as well cause he is your best mate / co worker and I guess gives you lots of support in the work you do. A magic farming couple. Chris from Victoria, Australia, where it is very hot with temperatures around 34 C most days.
Great video. Who knew about the feeding time/ prolapse connection. Learn something every day.
Go on bite the bullet and buy another sheep ring. Best of luck with the test
That's the first bit of information ive learned of sheep channels - i always just thought it was habit . I've all sheep housed and if I'm just 5 minutes late feeding the meal the roaring is unbelievable - so in other words they have their own body clocks. Also seeing a fox during daylight is a bad sign - there's not enough food for them.
Just wandering why dont you feed first and blow straw after?
I wish y'all could use livestock guardian dogs for flock protection, but with the whole "right to roam" thing, it wouldn't work out. They are quite effective, and for all but the most stubborn predators, they serve as a non-lethal deterrent, as most predators will just avoid the area.
Brilliant insight as always Nicola on different aspects of your Farm! You and Davy and your Dad always playing chess in your head with what needs to be done on a daily basis while taking into consideration the problems that pop up too! Appreciate your attitude is dealing with what you can control and fixing what you can't as best as possible! Davy has shown for a long time just how talented he is in repairing, managing, and over all Farming! He's hilarious AND a keeper Nicola! The Foxes are a huge problem as the wild hogs are here for Farmers. I hear the arguments about Nature this and that but in the end it's gibberish. You just have to take care of business! MOO From Across The Pond In COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
Buy that man a new coat 😂😂
😂👍🏻
Well said, Fox's need controlling they are getting out of hand & lambing just round the corner. You don't need them around. Love your videos from nikki in UK kent x
🤞
I love your videos u r an amazing lady hardworking and ur also gorgeous u r easy on the eyes
Good video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great lady farmer
You're a busy girl, im not a fan of sheep, but enjoy watching your videos, whereabouts in the country do you farm, the views are spectacular.
Just came across your site on Friday. The content of your videos is brilliant, and you farm a lot of acres by the look of things.
Jay us woman it could be a lot worse Dave is a very forgiving guy he loves you 😮
Minor minor minor
You did well to admit the trailer damage to the world. There is no serious damage. Now, you'll just have to live with Davey bugging you about it forever.
You might be able to pick up some 2nd hand rings or feeders at Thainstone agri implements sale or your nearest auction mart or any dispersals locally. Unlucky with the trailer but it's only a plastic , don't think it's an expensive fix. I'm sure Davy is ok but he will remind you now and again just to wind you up.
Aah I think there was a old crack in that lid , Davy must have given it a knock previously 😉
You need to start farming seagulls, other countries eat pigeons
You are marrying him. Hardly a deal breaker. It's your pride you dented more than the float. There will be other times. It's expected of me. 😊
Good luck with your test. Nasty storm headed your way.
Speaking as an old fart. You would do well to be a bit kinder to yourself when something goes a bit wrong. You're amazing at what you do and still young enough to learn new skills. Love your content. ❤
Very poor design that it can be hit so easy
Great video things happen don't be to hard on yourself I'm sure Davy will forgive you hope everything goes well with the TB test keeping everything crossed for a clear one
Not used to a 14x6 trailer yours is a 12x6 😮
How many acres of turnips/radish do you grow ? and did I hear you right that you use that ground for barley ?
Sarah deserves the award for the best hat on RUclips ❤
I will pass this on, she’ll absolutely love this! This hat is over 20y/o 😅
there's drivers, and there's screw drivers !
Is there some special reason why you are TB testing annually or is that normal for Scotland?
We are every 4 year in North of Scotland.
Our herd is such a high percentage of Irish cattle and Ireland is not TB free but Scotland is TB free. So we have to test annually because of this.
Where is your farm ?
Nobody got hurt with the trailer that is all that matters a new cap no problem don't run your self down we all make mistakes🏴🏴
Don’t beat yourself up about it,it’s only a bit of plastic 😢 I’m sure Dave will forgive you
Best of luck with the testing
Make a good h g v driver
Give David a big hug 🥵(for the trailer)🥹👍🇳🇴
Don’t worry about it you are a great lady
