    Adrian, your cinematic grasp of video creation is top-notch! You use multiple cameras for some tasks, and edit the views like a professional film director. For example, the drilling of the hole in the calving pen back wall, for chain attachment. I do notice and appreciate the thought, effort and time that you exert in making these videos for us. THANKS! From Evelyn in Minnesota

    This is a good and cheerful video. Just what we need. Whilst my area is unaffected and life goes on normally, just a few hundred kilometres north of me, the people of Noto are still struggling in the aftermath of the New Year's Day earthquake. So 'Hope' was a good choice of name for their sake as much as it is for you and your farm. Good choice Adrian.

    Hi Adrian I worked on a farm a few years ago and we put a tank in to collect rainwater but we had to get rid of it after a few months all it was doing was the wash down in the parlour and yard but we got a huge problem with E. coli mastics our vet and a guy that came out to check our problems sed it was birds droppings on roof washed in to tank was the problem bird shit with E. coli about 2 weeks after we stopping using rain water problem solved

    Adrian, i have a dairy cow question? If a cow has mastitis, but it only effects one teat, or two does that render the whole udder no good? Or can she still have functioning teats that will produce milk still? I figured since a cow has 4 teats and two are damaged can the others still function ok? I don't know too much about dairy cows or cattle in general, just wondering??

    Hi Adrian, another great video. You seem to be VERY accurate at predicting calving. It would be great if you could do an in depth video of what you see and feel when you know they're going to calve within 48/24/ 12 hours. I have a very small herd of beef shorthorns and tend to be thinking for days if not weeks they're about to pop. It would be very interesting. Thanks from Fermanagh!

    the door hinges just add new washers onto the pins between the hinge tubes... sometimes when the door refuses to lift off or its too heavy i get a thick washer cut a slot out for the pin and then jack up the door slide the washer in nad tac weld it to one half of the hinge.

    Idea for your latch pin on your sagging door is bevel the end. Just enough so its starts in the hole. Love hearing you mention -4 degrees kinda warm in my books. -44 hear in northern Alberta. Add in the windchill becomes -51. Not a farmer, machine guy, but like the idea of the calf coat/cover. Be careful on the ice Sir. No rushing about.

    Adrian, I asked you a good while ago if you captured rain water, given the high demands for (expensive) water on a farm. You mentioned your well and that you’d be giving some thought to it. You did a bit of well restoration, are you using it? Will you catch rainwater from the other shed roofs?

    Hope is a great name for the first born. There is always hope fore the new year. She is oddly marked, nothing like her mom. Do you use a bull or artificial insemination? I have notice that a lot of farmers on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean used a bull a awful lot. Curious as to why that that is.
    I sure hope you have calves that can go to market for extra money. I am sure you can use the cash.

    Hope, yea very appropriate, especially after last year, we have a pedigree herd so everyone gets a name usually they have a maternal family name and their fathers name so for example we have pivotal Gertie 27 which means she is the 27 th female in the cow family Gertie and her dad was pivotal, when I was picking the cow family names we used the names of my gran aunts ( only some were cows the majority were lovely ladies, only joking they were all lovely) just thought it was nice to have the old names around us still and they were long gone so we were not offending anyone. Ever considered going pedigree?
