Hey everyone,
In this video we might see a few things that haven’t come out on video yet 🤫😬
Can we turn a blind eye the then 🙈
Im just half way though a video with them as want to see some results in the full video… will be out soon ☺️
Hope your all doing well! 🙌
Fair play to you Tom for all the hard work , have you tried putting in the round bales with the shear grab , just to split them up and spread them out a little more for the cows
What other projects
I haven't seen anything.....😂
Now I'm going to have to watch the video again to see what I missed
Cow jewellery, no haven't seen a thing, no sir
Can't see anything, me glasses keep getting wet!!
Top work to the whole Pemberton team - here's hoping the weather plays ball for you for the rest of the year!
Hope all these people that say cows should be outside watch this, Dairy Cows HATE the Wet and Cold. Cow care is Everything
If you are cold, they are cold. Bring them inside and heat them up.
I prefer medium rare...
They really hate it if it rains a little they prefer to get inside if it's sunny they want to get out and they let you know when they wanna get out😂😂 we also got them in all week because it's too wet........ It's a shame but you can't change the weather
I think there's a big distinction between cows living under a shed roof their entire lives and cows wintering in sheds or coming in when the weather is bad. Cows should be outside weather permitting.
@@Ben-fk9ey there definitely is a difference. I also think they should come outside when the weather and ground conditions are permitting it. I really like it when they're outside.
Cows should be outside its the weather that's not cooperating
i TOTALLY didn't see collars... nope! if i did i imagined them lmao. soz the weathers not co-operating much Tom, just know that the cows are grateful for the extra effort (as are we viewers lol)
Thanks Tom for sharing this video….since I’m in no way a farm girl, I had no idea that it could be too wet outside for cows and they wouldn’t like to eat wet grass! I figured they live outside a good part of the year so they’d be used to rain ( less flies maybe too) and that wet grass would hydrate them at the same time. I’ve learned something today, and I thank you. Your cows look nice and comfy inside and it’s thanks to you listening to what the cows are showing you what they need and want. Good on you. ❤️👍
Heading down to Lytham on Monday for a few days. here`s hoping for a dry spell. bringing the kids to the farm for a milkshake.
Rain,Rain , go away!
Hope you get the weather you need. 😊
Glad the cows are enjoying last year’s second cut bales when it us so damp and dreary out in the pasture.
Loved your “Kate Moss” moment. Love to you and Joanna. 😊❤️👍👍
Would be interesting to hear how this impacted milk yields. Up, down, roundabout. Can you tell from the data if it was raining for example?
I think that's great. It's wet the ground will get crazy hoof prints then you don't want a cow stuck. The rain will help the grass grow for more grazing. Using those values of hay is a great idea. The fact of the new shed is that you can house all of them. And it's comfy.
Thank you Tom for sharing your farm and cows with us again. You always bring a smile to my face. Truly enjoy your channel.
You guys are awesome! That was a lot of work cleaning out and moving bales… all so your ladies are comfortable and happy…❤️❤️❤️
You do look after your cows wonderfully…. Beautiful shed, lots of tasty treats, new jewellery 🙊… what more could they want?
🙈
your so right to let them come inside in this weather , i fully agree , if they not happy they don't milk , you have the set up now and its not damaging the grazing grounds , it will come dry again so good the keep the grazing for later , you would never have done this with the old set up
❤Love how you don't waste a single thing Tom! Hay for cleaning and scrubbing the water tank and windscreen😊!
A TP vid always makes my day better. Thanks for sharing your days !!
Those McHale spike grabs are also great for spreading bales about as you can widen/close them to break the bale up in the feeding passage.
Just watched Jo’s photo shoot, she is wonderful for doing it and supporting a wonderful project!! She’s radiant!!
great vlog, you clearly know how to look after the cows, interesting to hear how you do that.
Great as normal Tom and the team hard work pays off as my DAD said keep it up
Great work again Mr Tom , It’s great to see true Stockmen ( and Stockwomen) so passionate about there animals , brilliant stuff 😊
You and Luke work so hard, it shows the rewards the farm is reaping. Keep up good work and pray the Misses is doing fine an healthy.
Love the progress and all the hard work. Love your Reds as usual. ❤ May you and your family have a great weekend 😊
It's times like these when a paddock system with proper road network would begin to pay off. The minute you start offering silage in the yard, you can forget about grazing out fields properly
Great Video tom Were in Somerset dairy farming and having similar challenges, Our motto is never be afraid to bring cows in, not point making a mess and you have an amazing shed so may as well make use of it. great Work!
hope the weather changes for you,those poor cows❤at least theyre in the dry eating and happy😂
Rebar in a car tyre and an old cluster liner worked 20 years ago for electric posts around the yard
You and Luke make a great team. As for the weather I sympathise. We're puddle hopping up in Scotland. Great channel Tom 😃😃😃👍👍👍
The weather always makes farming either good or difficult.
@maruiacancercI think you’re not going to gain much sympathy for your plight by repeating your message all across Tom’s comment section. Please respect RUclips etiquette.
The second part of the vid when u walked into the shed it looked so like winter such a good vid
Good luck at the great north run Tom. I will be doing it this year for the first time hope to see you there and say hi. 👍👍
Amazing work Tom! You’re a treat to watch!! ❤
I know you will be happy when the new parlor is done, but can you imagine how happy the cows will be with the bail out of the shed? SO much more room to spread out and do fun things. And of course, the new parlor is more efficient which leaves more time for doing cow stuff.
Having grown up on a dairy farm, I can empathize with you over the rainfall, but here in Central Texas we are experiencing the worst drought while you are the other extreme. We haven't had a drop of rain since June10. And we've experienced 100 degree F. plus since the week after that with no relief in sight. I wouldn't change places with you but it would be nice if we both enjoyed some moderation.
The weather is crazy all over the world. Very tough on farmers. Thanks for the video!!!
Luke is obviously a bloody great bloke to have working with you.
Nice one Tom.
Stay staunch !!
Good call on bringing them in. Cows look very happy great work.
Feeling our pain Tom coming from sunny Cyprus 38 degrees today Yamas 🌞😎🍻🍻
GOOD FRIDAY MORNING TOM,LUKE,HIEDI, AND THE GINGER WARRIOR WITH A MUSTACHE! Just got my first smart phone. Haven’t had a phone of ANY KIND for 10+ years. Only reason to have it was for emergencies when driving. I HATE PHONES OF ANY KIND! But my family has bugged me for so long I’m giving in to SHUT THEM UP! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA
is your phone broken? It keeps going from small letters to caps to small to caps again, id take it for repair
@@jamesmccabe1702 it was done for EMPHASIS.
"I just ripped my pants!"😂
You lot work so hard to keep them cows happy love the bit towards the end all the cows looking up at you as if they understood what you said
Y’all are having the weather we should have here in Louisiana!! We are 20” short of rain for the month of July and August is not looking any better!! Heat indexes in the triple digits!! 106°-117° F!! (41°C - 46°C!!! And no rain! Not even pop up afternoon showers which is what we normally have with summer heat!! Keep listening to those cows and they’ll lead you right!!
My cow's are roughly 50/50 when it comes to wet weather & using shelter. It's good to see cow's happy to be in out of the wet weather.
I really wish we had that problem. We are so dry in my area on top of the inability to irrigate. Fall is starting here too. Morning sun is taking longer to come up 😢. Not ready for the cold.
Keep up the good work everywhere, including the video's 😊.
I bet Luke is happy with cleaner cow's too. 😅
Hi Tom, the worst thing to do is double handle hay, but as you know things don't always go to plan. There is many countries complaining about the amount of rain they have had in July, so there is lots of unhappy farmers. It's funny how your dad hears you but still stacks the bales his way. Your cows are being very cheeky and they just love being inside with loads of feed. When are you going to show us the work going on in the background, the suspense is killy me? Another great video as always. Chris from Australia 🇦🇺.
I was glad of the rain in July until about the 25, won’t deny my grassland needs a dry spell to get the dry matter and sunshine to improve the sugars. You use what’s available and what makes sense at the time to feed your cows and work with what’s in front of you .
Heavy Cheshire clay here but have the infrastructure to keep grazing pretty much February to December .
Keep pushing on , lots to look forward too and your enthusiasm and energy is inspiring 👍
Love how you look after your cows who wouldn't want clean water
Wish the rain was falling over here in Washington St. USA; it is so dry. 😇💜
Me too, got evacuated a couple of weeks ago, wheat field to forest fire, stopped 100 feet from a house. Thank God for the firefighters. Goldendale
Amazing, was brought up in the countryside (Portugal) neighbours had dairy farms, I'm sure in a past or future life I'll be a farmer 🙌
Don't see any grazers giving you stick !! Lets change that 😂 easiest way to stop a cow wanting to graze is give it a belly full of silage. To be fair we're not farming in a bog and did I see the other day the NW of England had 3 times it's usual rain in July 🏴
You are doing the right thing. The grass won't waste in the field, when it is dryer make silage!!
From Pa usa- Cheer,CheerCheer for Luke!!!! You two work well together! Take care of Luke. !!!!!!
I would love to see a live cow cam of the inside of your new cow barn, 100% i would watch that all the time.
Hoping the weather improves for you guys in NW England soon 👍
It's wet in many places . Upstate New York very wet . Some areas to wet to hay .
Thank you for the video very informative for a city people.
The weather looked awful ..we have been hot dry then a good thunderstorm but the ground hard as rock .
I am northern Utah USA.
On clearing or moving “stuff” that’s in the way . If it’s being handled for the second time and hasn’t been used it goes to one spot and that’s the bin
Bummer about the rain but gotta keep the cows happy at all costs no matter what it takes to get them happy well done Tom
After watch the way you guys operate around the farm for the last couple years I would suggest trying a big jcb teleskid on demo for working in all the low clearance tight areas and much better agility and then keep the Manitou for all the bigger stuff and outside work like loading your feeder wagon
Its also extremely wet across the ocean in Canada. In July, we had more than 300% of the amount of rain that we usually would get. Its absolutely nuts. The ground was gone dry unusually early in spring, and then it just started raining. The weather has been really wacky.
Loving the videos as always and really need to stop doubting what you are doing or listening to people that think what your doing is wrong. Its you and your dads farm and have watch all your videos you always put thr cows first and if this weather is reason they show you they want to be inside stick with yoyr gut instinct. As for items we havnt seen 😉 looking forward to them videos. Great video again mate
The girls look beautiful with their new necklaces! It really brings out their eyes with the aqua.
I've just got the Ballam Road Dairy map on FS22. The new parlour detail is fantastic, even down to the colour of the walls!
Raining hard here in Alabama in the US 😢
Tom, little known switch on newer Manitou Teles is that they have an override switch (for very occasional use ahem 😜) which allows you to over ride the load indicator, very handy for getting out of sticky situations. It’s normally situated on left hand side of seat, next to DPF regen button (if it’s got a DPF). I currently have a MT1440 A (14m boom and 4 tonne capacity) and a MRT 3050 (Manitou Rotating Telehandler, 30m boom and 5 tonne capacity). Probably going to upset some but find the Manitou’s much better machines than the JCB Loadalls.
Luke is a great addition to u and your farm
Tom what exactly is that cellco.
Thanks Tom, loved the “ding-a-ling-a-ling”. Always great to know you see our comments. Keep up the great work. Amazing all the upgrades to the farm you and your family are doing (aka the Ginger Guy. Lol)
Hi Tom great videos, the weather maybe wet but its not cold. Still in the summer. Its easy to open d door and house them. You need to invest in roads, water and paddocking out d farm.
Hi Tom hope ye all well weather in Ireland is really wet too hopefully things will change soon keep on smashing it 👍
Your part of the world is getting all the rain. We are frying here in the U.S.
Meanwhile in Iceland. Not a drop of rain in July. Very strange
That is weird, cause iceland is just above us. These days, British Isles & Ireland is like a magnet for rain 😂
Great video glad you make cow health number one priority trying not to notice small red tractor on yard and yes the weather is grim but we couldn’t get away with a run of high heat temperatures in may and June without paying for it let’s all hope for an Indian summer
The video very good your all working very hard ..you right it's a very wet July hopefully August will get better best wishes tom Tom your cows do look happy
We're drowning here in central Ontario, Canada like you are. Hardly a day goes by without rain and we had golf ball sized hail for an hour yesterday.
You’ve got me collared Tom. I’ll wait for your video about what we’re to ignore. 🤫
Could really do with a roof on the clamp(and the tank as well). All in good time I’m sure.
My goodness. I’ve just looked at the 14 day forecast for your area. 3 days in 14 without rain. Break out the hip waders.
Here in the province of Quebec, Canada, we've had the wettest July ever. We had more than twice the average amount of rain. It is very hard on farmers. My garden isn't doing great with all the moisture so I can't imagine how bad it is for large scale fruit and vegetables farmers.
Here's hoping that the forecast is correct and after this weekend you get some dry weat.
No point pushing in they cleaned it, it must be good stuff
We have had the dairy herd and a lot of the heifers in the past 3+weeks
Another good video Tom hope the weather change for the cows 👍👍👍
I would like to see more content about your cattle breeding program.
Thanks Tom for sharing this video
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊
Another great video!!
Great vlog thanks Tom, awful weather we've had around here and I really feel for you having the cows in in late July, early August. Saw you just as we were coming out of the farm shop today but you were on the phone so my beloved and I didn't want to disturb you, we'll catch you some other time. So sorry to hear about the ginger warrior getting a ticket but all, or certainly most of us, have been there. Stay well 👌🏻
It's crazy weather, here on the South East coast of Australia we have had the driest Winter on record😕.
I'd like to also add they are sure lovely collars the cows are wearing.😁😉
They were on the last video as well I commented on them
great work looking after those cows !
Once we put in free stalls the cows just would go out for a short time for exercise and then they would come back in. They would not eat much when out on pasture as they preferred the TMR ration. I preferred them eating the TMR ration as I then knew exactly what they were eating each day. They would drop in production when out on grass.
You definitely can tell we live in England - bloody miserable summer weather!
Oh Tom,not happy with the weather,I don’t think anyone is ffs,hopefully get better soon,I know it will for me when I’m off on holiday in September
Yes tom
The weather has been crap throughout July and now into august also . It would be good if the weather could be distributed equally around the world. I watch an American father and son farmers who have been desperate for rain to help their crops and have bought in lots of feed as they recon they won’t have enough for their cows throughout the winter due to no rain.
Great video as always Tom and shut my eyes to a few things. Take care and stay safe 👍
👋 Tom, great video, went to college with Mark ( your feed rep) he is great lad. 👍
Don't forget that bale squeeze normally has spikes underneath the rollers.
Tom. People will drill holes into an old plastic pill bottle and place a couple pieces of copper tubing in it to stop algae growth in their pools.
Copper sulfate is used to prevent moss from growing on a roof.
Couldn't you prevent the algae growth in your trough by using the same pool owner trick? You might give it a try.
I’ve just used this trick for my horse water, it’s miraculous.
You are an awesome young man great team thinking about your cows xx
Tom bless ya love watching ya channel found your channel through olly bloggs keep up the good work ❤❤❤
Great video Tom
Love seeing the cows ❤ 🐂🐃🐄
Great video Tom livestock always tell you what they want if they want to come in they will happy cows are good cow’s keep up with the great videos 👏👏👍👍
We let cows out in County Fermanagh in the middle of may and we housed them again two weeks ago for winter feeding silage for ten months of the year isn’t very productive when second cut can’t be got off the field 😂
15:10 I don't think there is an animal alive that doesn't love a clean water container. My dogs love when they get a clean fresh bowl, I usually trade out every 3 days or so. But when they get crisp clean water, they drink a lot more water than normal.
Good video Tom happy cows' happy farmer sure has been wet summer!
I feel your pain Tom. Cows are always signalling as they are intelligent animals. New parlour coming which will be a pain at the start but cows will soon fall into line. Best wishes and dry days to you all!
