Fair play to u and taking the jump into dairy I'm a calf to beef farmer with a full time job and for years I'm on d fence to go to dairy but I'm afraid to give up a good job with steady income and not be underpressure for an income from the farm
Looks good. Only thought is that would tractor scraping the passages make more sense and be cheaper also as it’s straight into the tank wouldn’t take too long?
Agitation point will have to be be at each end as you'll have to roof the tank before the end of 27 and you can't have agitating point indoors nowadays, but maybe tank being done a few years before the roof might allow it
Great to see it coming along Kieran would you consider putting a row of cubicles in the new shed and calving the cows in one of the old cubicles, be more sheltered for calves ? Just a thought if you were buying the cubicles anyway
Great progress Kieran, am trying to get a 2 bay shed up & going , 12foot 6 slat, but costs I'm getting back are mental , can get 40% grant but it's away off that, what u think ?
I stayed away from the grant - too much hassle. It can take 18-ish months to get planning and TAMS approval, and then grant spec materials are more costly
Great to see the progress, i would be interested to know how many cubicles you could get in your new open shed, seems a lot lighter for milking cows, easier to observe them etc, also a feed fence already there etc ?
Great vid. Great to see your plans coming together 🫱🏻🫲🏼 I put up a 6 bay shed 2 years ago, same dimensions as yours. Definitely agree with you about agitation point In middle. It's one regret I have I have 2 at either end but one in the middle would have been ideal
Fair play Kieran. Love seeing lads progressing. Enough people to put a man down nowadays. Nice to see the excitement on you.
Taking shape now Kieran, best of luck going forward 👍
Delighted for you Kieran and thank you for recording the exciting journey.
Best of luck Kieran. Be no harm having agitation points at each end and one in the middle if you can. Fine tank all taking shape now.
You have made a lot of progress already. Can hardly wait to see the storage tank and the parlour going in. Docks are a real pain.
Well done Kieran. Great job. Looking forward to seeing the finished product
Well done keirian best of luck with the rest of the build
Kieran, fair play to you going all in.. it’ll be worthwhile when you’re putting the first cluster on a kicking heifer next year 😂 all the very best
Always great videos Kieran. The very best of luck with the new venture.
Fair play to you Kieran, you are flying 👏 🙌 👍

Say's the man who hasn't got the first one finished 😂😂😂😂😂😂 like it Kieran,
Id put agitation point at both ends,when you have the stone it would be easy to build up to it,keep up the good work
Good man kieran.great progress made since ur last video.very neat looking work.all the best with the rest of it.
Great progress. Thanks for the video
Great to see , Good stuff
Good man cubes great work

Are you goin to run the costs

I would be inclined to agree with this comment, it is also a good bit airyer for a stock of cows.
Good on u expensive time for building but l wish u all the luck in the world wa your project

Making headway. Any sump in tank?
Super tank . Did u go down the grant route
No I didn’t go for the grant. See comment below. Too much hassle. Too much of a delay. And not much money saved on a job like this.
Thanks . Planning building a new tank and shed . It’s hard to know if to go with the grant or not
If i had that tank in the back garden i could train for the olympics 😝😝😝😂😂😂
Fine tank 100ft if you had agitating slat in the middle you would be able to agitate right and left with out having to move
Agitating points have to be on the outside of the shed for safety

Give me a visa I will go to your country to do your work I work in a firm in Bangladesh
