Hi Charlotte your working hard with all on your farmer and your looking so beautiful girl in the video xx and keep up the good work with your cow's calfing to the best of luck with them calfing Charlotte ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Charlotte, clearly you have some Australian Jerseys and that breed are marsupials and the pouch is there for the calf to climb into. 😂😂😂😂 Apologies I couldn’t help myself….I’ll get my coat. Kindest Regards Dave👍😎🏴❤️
Didnt realise how much I missed the expression "do you want a brew love" been 15yrs since I called lancashire and england home but came the reflex response of "aye that be grand" love australia but the warmth of good Lancashire folk is unmatched ❤❤❤
I’ve raised jerseys and gurneys for a long time. Never seen the post birth cast thing. Ask your nutritionist. You might have an imbalance in the feed mix. It could be too that you have a herd of drama queens. Some people swear by giving a couple of ounces of cider vinegar a day for a week or two before calving to help with cleansing. I think it’s also a milk fever preventative. The pouchy thing in front of their udders looks like it’s edema. Restrict salt before calving. Some of our cows get really bad edema that takes days to get over. And they’re very hard to milk. In the spring I gather extra dandelion greens to feed them every day because it’s a diuretic. Heifers tend to get it worse but occasionally older cows are prone to it. It can help to massage their udders with a minty udder cream. The commercial one we get here in the states has calendula in it as well which helps with edema and mastitis.
Better to forge £20 notes, more profit in it lol I think you have hit on a unique style of your own Charlotte and it's definitely working, love the "school mam and naughty children" vibe lol You certainly draw me into every update, don't think you've failed to entertain or educate or both, with every video Your honest representation of your life on your farm definitely captivates your audience, hence we keep tuning in Think Adrian I Farm We Farm had similar issues with hanging bits on belly, All the very best for the coming year to you, Roy, Anna, Rufus and the family Take care all Back UK Farmer's 🇬🇧 Geoff
Well now I must say that you are a mighty woman for improvising great job getting that cow up and about grand videos as always Happy new year to you all 👍🏻🇮🇪☘️
Oh Charlotte how bloody lovely was that with your Nanna and her cow and then to see her with the kitten on her knee 💜 That cow with her drink 😂 yep lets drown the calf . I've heard farmers say cows need the warm water straight after the birth (40 mins?) But im no farmer. I absolutely love your vidioes its how i would imagine i would be at farming some days more flops than a flip-flop factory 😂 but always the right result in the end. Thank you so much for all your honesty and brilliant videos. You really do make the day brighter!! Lots of love and the very best for 2025! 💜💜💜
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos, just taken me 6 weeks to binge watch your entire video collection from the beginning… have now caught up with the latest one… I really enjoy your videos and have got some useful tips, work on a small farm with adults with special needs who don’t quite understand why l laugh and shout “aviation update” as we are close to a small airfield in Kent lol 😂 keep up the amazing work #royrocks 👍🏻
oh Charlotte, another fab video. Promise you I was laughing for you at the cow drink /calf shower, not at you. I can't believe how dramatic your herd are lol bless you.🥰
Hi Charlotte & family I'm from a dairy farming background but now I'm in construction I've done a he'll of a lot of work at collisions factory where your bins are made I've been involved in 90% of the factory expansion over the years it's an impressive factory you need to go have a look I even know Rodger collision who was main man but now retired his son sam now runs it great videos Charlotte thank you ❤
Dad worked with jerseys for over 40yrs, it's a heifer thing! Wanting to ignore the fact she has calved. The lumps underneath are swollen milk vein and will go down once milked.
Great video, love your gran, hope she enjoyed her drive by. It looks like oedema of the udders, seen in first time mothers, overweight ones and if they are on a high salt diet. 😢
I have the exact same problem as the cows getting up off the floor 😂. You say you’ve only another 20 to calve but then you will have lambing time, how the hell are you going to manage all that and the milking! Great video Charlotte
Great video, just a thought could you not star your Christmas charity list in October, that why you won't have so much to do all at once at Christmas, I know you would have to do the veg in December ,but the tins and other stuff don't go off so are fine if sent earlier ❤
Great video again Charlotte. I'd say that you're heifers are a little too fat for Jersey. They would look perfect for our Friesan. Maby I'm wrong as I have no experience of Jersey cows . Good luck with the rest of them.
What did Tom say about them flaking out ? I think they've put too much condition on and calvings sapping them I'm assuming their Angus calves which is fortunate as in that condition I think you would be having some difficult Calvings and probably cesareans I would speak to your feed guy and work out a feed regime for your dry cows and heifers going forwards as your over feeding them The bit under the belly is a thing with heifers a lot of them have it
Hi Charlotte you've just got fat lazy cows 😂😂 as for giving them a drink after calving unless they need a supplement then just the warm water is fine it's just to fill the rumen to stop a stomach displacement. As for the wobbly bit under the cows it's just a swollen milk vein I always think it's a good sign she'll be a good milker.
Those girls look a little too chunky, calved heaps of jerseys whilst working out in new Zealand, it's really easy to over feed them particularly in the last month of pregnancy . It's counter intuitive but they're probably short of energy, pushing a calf out is the equivalent of running a marathon in terms of energy requirements, so carrying extra weight makes it much harder. I guess your stuck with the ones you have you can't restrict their diet close to calving but the next ones coming through don't need to be that fat...love the videos, keep doing what you do..
We have same problem when the cow gets her feet to high when laying down spin them around so their head is higher. Something about their breathing properly.
Getting stuck- yea the hfrs some are a little bit over conditioned, but its more I think that they are 'sulking' after calving wondering wtf just happened to me, I'll lie here and recover- drag the calf near their heads, if they respond, drag it 2- 3 ft away so they have to move to lick it- if that don't happen after 30 mins say, yea you have to do what you just did. Proves nothing wrong with them as just stand up. You could say they're just being divas?? Swelling under bellys on hfrs especially is excess fluid from developing udder etc. It will go over 1st few weeks of milking. Some 2nd, 3rd calvers may get it. Jerseys are a diff breed to other milkers, except high genetic holsteins, who are also a diff breed. They are more prone to milk fever. Management and care is required at a diff level to say Friesen or montys.
Never heard of “cow drinks”. Does it make a big difference? Bucket of tepid water to drink is most I’ve ever seen or heard of as far as calving cows. Be interesting to know what it’s supposed to do and help with.
Regenerative I think and basically like a cow life aid Contains calcium that will support the increased demand after calving and Includes vitamin E and selenium which helps support cleansing as we are very deficient x
You’re betting might be too soft or sinking down in it just like a soft bed you get down in it then you have to roll around and Waller to get up out of the hole in the bed
Should not be calcium deficient, which is rarely the case in heifers. Then she was stable right after standing up. Know too little about Jersey to say they are way too fat. I suggest you talk to your vet and check if they are missing anything, also talk to your feed advisor
There's nothing wrong with Lancashire folks. Where I live used to be right on the border between Lancashire and Yorkshire until they changed the bowderies.
the cow couldnt get up on itd the straw its lying was at a slope fold legs in under cow and roll cow over on to legs it will get up but dont do it with sny machinery
Looking at your cows, they do look rather fat which is not at all good for them. Jerseys are naturally quite skinny animals and to some they look undernourished but thats how they should look. They will perform better when skinny too. More milk , less sickness and more energy!!
I farm we farm you tube farmer from Ireland his cows had them last year can’t remember what he called them but it was something berries think he mentioned it again last week
He called them ‘dingleberries’ which always made me giggle. Not the same as the Jerseys which seemed to have like a baggy belly which others are suggesting is the milk vein or milk well. The dingleberries are like warty growths mainly on the udder (or elder as Adrian called them).
Wouldn’t say you’re cows are over fat looking at the tail head,had cows do the same after calving not getting up their just stubborn being comfy lying there.if there was a energy problem she wouldn’t get up or be wobbling around,are you giving your cows iodine bolus as you did with your beef cows.
Hi Charlotte your working hard with all on your farmer and your looking so beautiful girl in the video xx and keep up the good work with your cow's calfing to the best of luck with them calfing Charlotte ❤❤❤❤❤
marvellous work charlotte. wishing you all the best in 25. mind yourselves

Great video Charlotte, more cute calves and loved the visit by grandma bit (Priceless). Got to hand it to Roy for working "Smarter not Harder" 👌.
Didnt realise how much I missed the expression "do you want a brew love" been 15yrs since I called lancashire and england home but came the reflex response of "aye that be grand" love australia but the warmth of good Lancashire folk is unmatched ❤❤❤

Put cow bucket in an old tyre to stop it being knocked over.
This weekend will be freezing so keep warm and safe.
NAsty weather.

Happy New year to you all. Great that you have four generations on the go at once.😊
The pouchy bit on your Jerseys is their pudding stomach, I thought everyone had one at this time of year 😂
Dad worked with jerseys for over 40yrs, it's a heifer thing! Wanting to ignore the fact she has calved. The lumps underneath are swollen milk vein and will go down once milked.
Great video, love your gran, hope she enjoyed her drive by. It looks like oedema of the udders, seen in first time mothers, overweight ones and if they are on a high salt diet. 😢
We appreciate you for bringing us subscribers your content which only you have 🎉
Excellent job Charlotte! Great video!
I have the exact same problem as the cows getting up off the floor 😂. You say you’ve only another 20 to calve but then you will have lambing time, how the hell are you going to manage all that and the milking! Great video Charlotte
Another great video. Have a great day back at you.
Great video, just a thought could you not star your Christmas charity list in October, that why you won't have so much to do all at once at Christmas, I know you would have to do the veg in December ,but the tins and other stuff don't go off so are fine if sent earlier ❤
Re cows stuck, I saw a farmer put a placky bag over its nose/mouth. The shock makes it jump up.
the jiggly bitds under cows are milk vains basicly where milk is stored
Great video Charlotte
Happy New Year 🎉 Never a bad thought about You 😊
Great video again Charlotte. I'd say that you're heifers are a little too fat for Jersey. They would look perfect for our Friesan. Maby I'm wrong as I have no experience of Jersey cows . Good luck with the rest of them.

The bit under the belly is a thing with heifers a lot of them have it
I feel like that sometimes. Need a Bobcat to prize me out of bed in the morning
Awesome guy's all the best for this year 👍🏻
The swelling under the belly is called a milk well
Might the problem be related to blood pressure?
In German and Dutch this fatty "pouch" in new horse moms is called "Zucht" and disappeares with them nursing the foal and moving around more.
Happy new year kiddo x
Hi Charlotte you've just got fat lazy cows 😂😂 as for giving them a drink after calving unless they need a supplement then just the warm water is fine it's just to fill the rumen to stop a stomach displacement.

Good evening Charlotte
Alright paddy how’s it going over there x x x
@ It’s not going to bad. How are you doing today Charlotte x
It appears that the heifer had too much Champaigne on New Years eve!
Quality 👌
Ok, it may be a daft thought, but have the cows seen other cows birthing then getting up?. Are they basically thick and don't know what to do?.
I mean I can totally go with that thought and believe that’s what’s happening they are that ridiculous

Straw pack too thick?
We have same problem when the cow gets her feet to high when laying down spin them around so their head is higher. Something about their breathing properly.
I do believe it's a milk vein

@@charlotteashleyfarmthanks Charlotte I’m going to go and do a bit of research, it sounds good stuff. Ps happy new year to you and yours!
greetings to all the important people ❤ ps everyone apart from vegans and cyclists 😅
😂😂😂😂 love it
You’re betting might be too soft or sinking down in it just like a soft bed you get down in it then you have to roll around and Waller to get up out of the hole in the bed
Are Jersy different ? like they dont know what to do but do ?? Ivhad to laugh the calf is drowning !! 😮😂😂
Call the vet ?? Or maybe there just daft .?
??? Calcium. You can get some pretty weird signs with low Ca++
Feed 3kgs per head per day for 3 weeks before calving of xzelit nuts probably won't have any more problems 💪🐄🐄
We always say that they are naval sprung it never harmed them
Should not be calcium deficient, which is rarely the case in heifers. Then she was stable right after standing up.
Know too little about Jersey to say they are way too fat. I suggest you talk to your vet and check if they are missing anything, also talk to your feed advisor
Milk well, all part of bagging up ready to calve don’t look too fat to me properly lacking energy
There's nothing wrong with Lancashire folks. Where I live used to be right on the border between Lancashire and Yorkshire until they changed the bowderies.
happy saturday teacher.
Milk vein, that’s a good thing. Indicates a good milker
Joking over it could be calcium as Jerseys have Lots of milk
My neighbours jerseys often needed calcium after calving, they wouldn’t get up either
the cow couldnt get up on itd the straw its lying was at a slope fold legs in under cow and roll cow over on to legs it will get up but dont do it with sny machinery
Could be a calcium deficiency.. lack of energy..
great video misses
That lump of fluid looks like water belly ir water retention because of pregnancy and starting to produce milk.
Might be worth a phone call with vets maybe calcium or b1
Get them checked for ketosis. I had some odd things happen to some kiwi cross cows and that’s what it was
i think it could be calcium they need have seen they go down becus of that at dr.pol and more places.
It's just the milk vain
Did the cow need calcium , call the vet ?? Ask them .! Hope it turned out ok .
We had a holstein do the same after calving herself
That little bit on their tummy's is it not there biblical cord. I'm guessing.
Looking at your cows, they do look rather fat which is not at all good for them. Jerseys are naturally quite skinny animals and to some they look undernourished but thats how they should look. They will perform better when skinny too. More milk , less sickness and more energy!!
Charlotte , please don't change your video intro music - what you have had is unique to your channel, so please bring it back. Pretty please.
It’s bizarre
I believe they are rupture when the baby is born from the navel
I farm we farm you tube farmer from Ireland his cows had them last year can’t remember what he called them but it was something berries think he mentioned it again last week
He called them ‘dingleberries’ which always made me giggle. Not the same as the Jerseys which seemed to have like a baggy belly which others are suggesting is the milk vein or milk well. The dingleberries are like warty growths mainly on the udder (or elder as Adrian called them).
Wouldn’t say you’re cows are over fat looking at the tail head,had cows do the same after calving not getting up their just stubborn being comfy lying there.if there was a energy problem she wouldn’t get up or be wobbling around,are you giving your cows iodine bolus as you did with your beef cows.
