- In this episode you'll get to see myself and other staff install a new motorised cow brush along with 4 other fixed ones.
Have to say the satisfaction of seeing them enjoy their new brushes was worth the time and money spent!
Hope you enjoy the video and feel free to like, comment and subscribe!

I'm gonna tell ya what.. No1 spends that kinda $$ on a Cow Scratcher & Brush unless they LOVE their Cows!! It's obvious U DO!❤❤
I sure do!
When I was a young boy on the farm with about 100 cows total of various ages, one of the unwritten jobs for me, my sister, and my mother was to pet the cows and talk to them daily. Mostly when in the barn, but also outside in the pasture or in the barnyard holding areas. Some cows were less friendly, especially those that were purchased, while the ones that we had raised since birth enjoyed the attention. Most were happy just being petted on the head and neck and some were more aggressive and wanted to rub on us kinda roughly. I know us humans got some bruised arms and shoulders once in while from the ones who really wanted to rub. Most got named when they were young calves, but some got their names changed based on the personality of the cow herself based on our interactions with them.
If only we had cow brushes back then. Today's bigger farms, even if there are farm kids around, cannot possibly personally attend to each cow every day like we used to. These brushes are amazing, whether stationery or with mechanical movement.
Large portions of our pasture lands were wooded. Over time, the tree populations declined. Mostly because cows walk and trample on everything, but also because trees served as rubbing posts and cows would rub the tree bark right off of the trees.
I think we did a good job keeping our cows happy. My father was excellent at monitoring each cow's health and nutrition (all done in his head with no computers) and the rest of us did our jobs of giving the cows personal attention every day. My father even taught us how to recognize young calves and heifers who needed a bucket of water brought to them (even with ready access to water already). The one thing I remember most every farm visitor saying is that our cows were all much bigger that most other cows they had seen -- every group of 4-H, and FFA kids and college students who visited the farm would say how our cows were huge compared to so many others.
I just watched a few other videos where farmers got creative on where they placed the brushes (such as on logs out in the pasture) or where they sourced brushes (such as from car wash businesses). Farmers are always smart and innovative and creative and resourceful. Now that it is known how well cow brushes work, most farmers know that the investment in them is well worth it.
It's a nice story, so I game you an upvote. On UM;s most recent video I suggested he make and post "cow meets brush" because some of the YT videos have racked up impressive view-counts. I know I like some of them very much. It would take a while, but the ads could eventually pay for a new brush (or motor. I saw his stop turning once.)
I love love love watching them enjoying a good scratch! 😂
When cows brushing them self they feel happy and produce more milk
Wonderful to see cows doing so well and I think they are very happy. Good work!
Thank you very much!
I've got one of these in the bedroom for the missus.
😂😂
What a wonderful thing to see, beautiful cows living a fantastic life, with farmers who truly love and adore them
🖤🩶🤍🤎
I would get a cow and a scratcher just to see the ecstasy and joy on their faces 😊
This is so kind and wonderful....if you can, put a bunch of those brushed around 🐄 🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄
Those cows are going to be even more happy than before 🐄 ❤
I agree!
I saw a farmer who attached a bunch of push `brooms to a pole. They worked perfectly. I think they were about twenty bucks each.
Definitely money well spent for happy cows
Definitely money well spent!
Spent some time at my grandpa’s farm every year. Small 20-head totally manual operation. We used to hang the old-time “good” push broom-heads on poles and they’d go nuts for them. Had to be careful because the “good” broom-heads had wire-core centers and you didn’t want them rubbing too long. They also loved curry-combs all over their heads.
i love cows and i love ur videos and you are very cute almost as cute as ur cows. 🤣
💖🥰💖
Wonderful everyone gets a spa treatment before and after milking. Your milk production is going to go sky high. 👍 money well spent and you will make your money spent on them back in no time. 🐄
I believe so also! Not only do they give the reward of happier cows and so better yields. It also cleans the animals too so it’s a win win!
A brush surviving ten years of use by cows says a lot about the quality of those brushes!
That brush is awesome
Bring on the fully automatic motorized dual brushes !
hopefully, in the future, more scratchers, seem to small for the number of cows.
I wish I could afford one for my girls. They love a scratch from me and will headbutt the crap out of me, (gently), if they feel I’m not spreading the love quick enough! If I win the lottery then I’m buying a few of these even though I only have 13 girls and bullocks.
Should’ve said, mine aren’t dairy - they’re beef shorthorn and they’re like pets. We have a Croft up near the Isle of Skye and ours spend the summer grazing in the hills and come down after sileage is done to eat grass in our fields. We time our calving for September but last year the bull we hired wasn’t much of a shagger at first and our last calf was born the week before christmas. I’m gonna get some static brushes to put in our big barn….new barn and our girls already love it during winter and brushes will be a treat.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching 👍🏽
It’s a hit! ♥️
Excellent.
Many thanks!

Cows get a lot of feet issues, some of which are contagious. So I can only assume that why they don’t exist/arnt popular
If I come back in a second life, I want to be a dairy cow on your farm.😊
Deal!
You want to be "constantly" pregnant and/or give milk and not be with your offspring? Odd...
Good video, step back though, and think about your safety, you have one pair of eyes, use goggles when drilling. You cannot replace your eyes
Good point!
It seems like they should be installed a bit lower.
Bloody cow towards the end. Her sac.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Look at all that meat and milk 😋
Where did you purchas
Dairy Co
Yo im really going to start making them and selling them.
Would make a lot of money 😂
@@uddermadnesss thats what im saying. I think im going to try it out. Im in California lots of farmers with cows here lol only if i could find a way to keep the brushes spinning like a car wash with some water spray out maybe
I feel cheated. 30 seconds of scratching. 😢
why are they so so so expensive?
You can simply tie a hard brush to a log and that's it, no? Why 3.000 pounds ?
Because the main one is automatic, motorised andswivelling with a host of safety devices, giving just the right degree of pressure on the animal's skin. It's not 'just' a broom head on a pole, it _actively_ grooms the cattle from head to tail, getting to all the contours of their head, neck, back and tail.
The equivalent alternative would be a team of people armed with curry combs working all day and night, grooming all the cattle from the skittish heifers to the calm old heavy yielder - and the bull as well, in many herds.
How much do you think _that_ would cost?
@@Sine-gl9ly Noooo true true true
i made this question, and after went to watch other videos about and noticed that it is actually automatized and moves around the body of the animal
😂😂
@@rezopolis 🐂👍🤗
That’s it!
moo
Hahaha, not big on OH&S. You need your eyes for your kind of work.
💝🕯🙏
