Tell Roy not to blame himself, you didn’t know, and you were not going to know until you had a cow with this issue. You called the vet for her and you put a blanket on her to keep her warm. You did the best you could for the cow, like you do with all of your animals, because you care about them. ❤
A lesson learned is a mistake not repeated Charlotte, you just keep on showing us life on the farm (Warts and all) Tom P and Joe S as livestock farmers both do the same and farming isn't all sunshine and roses. For every cute and cuddly moment there are the occasional not nice ones. 🤔👍.
There's always more to learn and you don't speak cow so you can only do what you did. Even the vets had a go!! Not Roy's fault at all or your's. Must say though...THANK YOU for the warts and all showing. Not all sunshine and roses.
Sorry about the cow but you did all you could ,now you know what to do it won't happen again, i really praise you for showing what real farming is all about ,its not all sunshine and Rose's. I hope roy is ok ,things happen ,you see how much you both care for your animals. Take care both of you ❤
I take my hat off to you both, those cows are beautiful but omg I did not know how high maintenance they are. This is real farming life, it isn't all sunshine and silliness and you need to show this side, warts n all❤❤❤❤
Hi Charlotte, your new dairy life has been a steep learning curve again. Thanks for explaining what happen because you may help someone else out in a similar situation.Farming and life can be cruel sometimes but we find a way to cope. You and Roy are doing a terrific job with your new dairy venture and it will only get better. Thanks for your honesty and I know you are hurting abit from loosing one of your cherished Jersey cows. See you in the next video. Chris from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺.
Just sitting here watching this with a friend who has probably made the most accurate comment on dairy cows I have ever heard he said “ dairy cows are the best animals he knows for self culling “ and he isn’t wrong! Regards again from Ireland.
That's a really tough lesson to learn and thank you for sharing it, but please don't beat yourselves up. For many of us, every day is a school day and both of your learning curves has had to be exceptionally steep. Put it onto perspective with everything you've had to achieve and learn so far and actually, you're doing very well.
Nearly everyone who has milked cows will have lost one with e-coli.I have seen cows who are perfectly ok in morning milking and are at deaths door in afternoon with it so don't blame yourselves as I have been milking cows for over 40 years
I agree Charlotte we learn by doing and experiencing.. and sometimes the most valuable lessons are the most painful. You don’t know what you don’t know until you need to know! Chin up ❤
Having seen how you treat your animals Charlotte that cow dying is a rare anomaly. It's sad, you and Roy are great with the animals. Like you said, learn from it, but youre both great. Love you both loads ❤❤
Aw , poor cow , poor you.😢 Steep learning curve this dairy farming business. At least you and all us viewers are learning. 😊 Thanks for sharing 👍 Enjoy your Ridgeline Socks. 😊
Neither of you were to blame, you did what you thought was right at the time and you got the vets in as quickly as was possible when you noticed something was wrong. You both do a great job looking after all your livestock, I'd be proud to have a farm as nice as yours.
It is so apparent how much you love your animals. It’s heartbreaking when we lose any of them! Thank you so much for your vids. I learn so much I never knew!
Don’t get your self down Charlotte love your Chanel it’s so real and true this is what happens in life weather it be human pets or stock your doing great love your Chanel as it’s real keep it up xx
Every farmer has been in that situation at some point, it's good that you are able to be honest and share the highs and lows many people will learn something from this especially if its a young person just starting on their farming journey.
A powerful video Charlotte. The day today decisions you make are all parts of running a modern state of the art dairy farm. But the passion and compassion wich is so apparent is what makes the difference especially in the difficult days.
I you did your best lass she was vetted and kept warm its bloody sad like coz ther great larl moo to have but thats farming and life thers death and ther all differant like us lot nice vid and full respect for not cutting it out of the vid lass ok be safe youz lot
So sad about losing the cow Charlotte. Don’t be too hard on yourselves. Farming is a tough job and you learn as you go, mainly by making mistakes, some unfortunately more costly than others. You and Roy have done a great job in a short space of time.
So sorry for the loss of one of your lovely cow's as you have both done a fantastic job so far i i love watching every thing u have done to your milking shead and everything is so well done keep up the good work
Upmost respect to the pair of you for admitting you got it wrong when you thought you were doing the right thing, sadly sometimes the only way we learn is by learning it the hard way.
Ecoli/ Toxic mastitis is awful. You saved the first one and very lucky to have done so as it’s a killer more often than not. Big learning curve going dairying and it as unfortunately not easy and I find losing cows very hard . Hopefully TB doesn’t hit you like it done us as lost 40% of herd 4 months after starting up and a further 30% within first two years. Good luck. Is your teat spray covering all teats properly on the robots? Caused Ecoli here at one point. Always told robot herds are way more susceptible as cows milk and can lie down very promptly there after so hence teat dip more needed as test end’s still open after milking and dirt/ muck enters as its environmental
I’m a retired dairy herd manager of 350 cows. What product are you using for flushing clusters? If you are using Peracetic you can buy test strips to test the strength of the diluted chemical. Also is the teat dip coverage complete, and lastly is there a way you can make the cows stand for 15 minutes to allow the teat ends to close? A timed holding gate would work
We can’t always have a happy ending and as you said it’s all part of life. I’m sure it’s upsetting loosing a cow but it’s not Roy or your fault. You both tried your best with the knowledge you have and now you have more knowledge to make sure it doesn’t happen again. These people who say farmers don’t care about their stock need to open their eyes. You treat the girls like pets 😂. Keep doing what you’re doing! ❤
It is what it is Charlotte, unfortunately when you have livestock you have to deal with the fact that you may have dead stock, it's life. Don't dwell on it, as you said yourself it's a learning experience, move forward and best of luck in the future
We've all had days like this. You did your best for the cow. I had animals go the same when I was milking and there is little more you can do. You and Roy keep up the good work.
Admire your honesty. School of hard knocks. Definitely delay drying off any thing that’s an udder infection. Get any infection cleaned up beforehand. Get dry off wrong for any reason it’ll cost you big time. Best of luck 👍
It's hard to deal with something like that and I sympathize especially since ye give your animals such great care but as you say you learn from experience grand video thanks
Hi Charlotte sorry about the cow 😢 probably better keeping them in for a while after drying off and take them back in at least 3 weeks before calving ...Good luck 😊
You showing you're having a bad day works 2 ways: it helps you get it off your chest and it helps us knowing it happens to others too. The downside with learning your way around livestock is that it is unavoidable that there will be death involved, you simply can not win every battle. Especially E-coli is a very ferocious bacteria, for many different species including humans. New sheds do have a drawback: new concrete is always "sharp" and will lead to sore feet with any animal, it needs to wear in for a couple of months. The only way around is is to powerfloat everything which you don't want to do because it makes a far too slippery surface. I've heard of people sanding the edges of new slats, just to take some of the sharpness off.
So sorry for your loss. You are correct though; learning the hard way is something that everybody has to learn. You could even have stripped the cow out on multiple days and the cow could have still passed away. Don't blame yourself. Just remember you put a blanket on her to help keep her warm in her final moments. 💔🙏
every day is a school day, you are learning every day in so many ways, you did everything you could once you knew the issue and it will not happen again
That mastitis does be working behind the scenes and is well established before the cow's let you know it. You'd need eyes in the back of your head with them! I find the earliest sign is stiffness when moving and lame on a leg! But that water like milk is a disaster! I live with the cattle and we still have bloody fook ups! And they'll always be a new one to catch us out!🙌
hello dear Charlotte, It's sad to hear all the problems, but I promise you it will get better, but that can take up to a year because it has to do with the change, which is too much stress for the animals. Best regards
Just to reiterate the comments from your avide followers, it's not your fault you. As you summed it up "it's what it is" you have learned from it and it's not yours or Roy's fault. Glad you posted the video ❤
Every day is a school day, the good and bad experiences teach us all Where you have live stock you have dead stock. We all know how committed you are to your stock Chin up, keep going on
dont beat yourself up. i was terrible when i lost a cow or calf. why . cause you have that magic bond. its tough. try to get though it . sorry charlotte. its a crap helpless feeling. talk to each other and you will get through days like this.
Don't beat yourselves up E-coli is the worst possible mastitis the collar only flagged up abnormal not mastitis so you weren't to know especially as she didn't have visible signs of mastitis its the only way you learn in farming. Chances are with E-coli she would have likely lost that quarter anyway Your doing great remember that and yes absolutely keep it real show everything that's how those with no farming knowledge find out just how bloody hard farming is Xx
bad days are bound to happen its part of life and farming just look for the good days your both doing an amazing job watching your journey is amazing take care and stay safe 👍🏻
We've all had it happen, kiddo. I've not teat dipped for about 10 years and not dry cowed for about 6 years and only tube one quater in the last 3 years and she still lost the quarter.
There's no point me saying never dry a cow of with actual or signs of mastitis, treat it, get it cleared up- well sorry I said it, but you learnt the v hard way. Working with cows for yrs you know instinctively what to do or not to do. Having her in the shed the day before prob stressed her and not feeling 100%, it brought the e coli on quicker and with worsened effects. If you're sealing teats off correctly, you shouldn't see any milk dripping from a quarter- milk escaping means bacteria can still get in, worse as the cows gone dry and that milks not being removed 2-3 times a day, so builds up an infection. Just a suggestion charlotte, instead of using a brush to clean off the beds, get a couple of 12/14 inch squedgies. They make a better job on mats, don't clog with sh#t, bang off, wash off a lot easier. That recently trimmed, lame cow lying in the sh#t is prime example of needing a small straw bedded area against the robots, so any lame, sick cows don't lie on dirty concrete. Sorry for the lecture, only trying to help you.
It's not easy Dairy farming nothing like beef farming. Your tied to cows tails 24/7. What if you had to physically milk them twice aday has well. I was brought up on Dairy farm in Staffordshire and the cows always came first. It's not nice loosing a cow . But it comes with the job. You moan about it but you just keep on going . Not a easy life and so glad you put it on video just to let people know the down side with the job. No matter how good you are there is always some thinnk around the corner that dies or breaks down. The times when I was farming and said to myself i should have a good milk cheque next month. Than the tractor.brecks down bulk tank stops working . And so on . But you just get on with it .because it's a way of life. Unlike any other job where you get paid on Friday regardless what happens.. Me and my bro would love to vist you one afternoon. But don't like calling uninvited.
When you have livestock you will have deadstock too unfortunately when the cow was down and not able to get up you had a uphill battle on your hands cows go down hill really fast with ecoli an hour can make a huge difference
We lost a cow today with the same thing pet and we think?? We know what we are doing, I.v. Anti biotic and anti inflammatory in conjunction with I.m. Antibiotics and inter mammary antibiotics all administered within ten minutes of seeing her at 6.45 am she was seen at c. 8 pm the night before and was fine, she wasn’t down and her temperature was elevated ( way better than below normal) , allowed myself to be hopeful, basically she had a great chance (I thought) went back at 10, yup you guessed it DEED as a maggot! Rang the dogs he was less than a mile away and by 10 30 she was gone! So don’t beat yourself up summer mastitis is regularly fatal and even experienced dairy farmers will loose cows and heifers to it and any that say they don’t should be doing the lottery, cause they are unbelievably lucky or else they have very poor memories. Regards from Ireland.
It goes so fast with e coli 😥 We have started vaccinating for it and it seems to work. Do you have your own Selekt pump? Definitely the gadget that paid off the best
Tell Roy not to blame himself, you didn’t know, and you were not going to know until you had a cow with this issue. You called the vet for her and you put a blanket on her to keep her warm. You did the best you could for the cow, like you do with all of your animals, because you care about them. ❤
We are our own worst critics!! Please stop beating yourselves up, I appreciate you and Roy!! Thank you for showing real life farming things!!

It’s all a learning curve, don’t blame yourselves. They are a superior herd and you are a very caring couple .

I love the channel even more now. The honesty goes a long way with me. I was brought up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and I know how it is.
I agree Charlotte we learn by doing and experiencing.. and sometimes the most valuable lessons are the most painful. You don’t know what you don’t know until you need to know! Chin up ❤

We also learn from others mistakes, especially when they share honest videos on here. You're doing a great job, love seeing your progress 👍
We all live and learn. Yes, well worth calling out the vet in any case. I hope you got two vets for the price of one.
I you did your best lass she was vetted and kept warm its bloody sad like coz ther great larl moo to have but thats farming and life thers death and ther all differant like us lot nice vid and full respect for not cutting it out of the vid lass ok be safe youz lot

Absolutely agree, if you suspect ecoli don't hesitate to get antibiotics into it via the teat and injection.

Don’t worry about what other people think about your reversing skills. No one is good at it until you’re a master. Even masters have wonky days.
hello dear Charlotte,
It's sad to hear all the problems, but I promise you it will get better, but that can take up to a year because it has to do with the change, which is too much stress for the animals. Best regards
Stay strong always going to have problems we always put dry cows on straw and water for 3 to 4 days to stop Milk production May be worth a try
It's horrendous trying to treet ecoli. I have had a couple go down with it lost one and saved one the last ones bag fell to,pieces
Sorry for the loss guys.
There is a saying which is so true “where there’s livestock there’s deadstock
roy shouldnt blame himself like you say its a learning curve but now you know what to do great video misses god blesss you both

Thanks 👍your a star Matt
With Ecoli check your water troughs. Make sure there tipped regular. 😢
What concerns me is the cases of mastitis, is there something that needs to be changed like the washing or post dip?
Charlotte I know you feel bad but this has been a educational video for everyone who has watched it.
We've all had it happen, kiddo. I've not teat dipped for about 10 years and not dry cowed for about 6 years and only tube one quater in the last 3 years and she still lost the quarter.

You tried your best that’s farming
70:20:10 learning. Learn by doing, watching and education in that order
Will you explain, what your feed the cows with, and why.. don,t see much grass. other than silage...
Silage is grass?
Chin up, these things happen. You did the best you could by bringing in the vets, onwards and upwards.
When you have livestock you will have deadstock too unfortunately when the cow was down and not able to get up you had a uphill battle on your hands cows go down hill really fast with ecoli an hour can make a huge difference

Chin up Rome wasn’t built in a day. We all make mistakes and as long as we learn from them that all we can do.
Don't fill bad about it these things happen from time to time
I'm sure Roy broke that bit when he hit the Keenan.... it just fell off.... honest 😮
I MEAN I KNOW RIGHT like 100% was totally him
It goes so fast with e coli 😥 We have started vaccinating for it and it seems to work.
Do you have your own Selekt pump? Definitely the gadget that paid off the best
every day is a learning day on the farm
U both want to keep your chins up things happen and you both doing really well and livestock =dead stock
