TRYING TO PROTECT THE BALES MOVING CATTLE & TOPPING FIELDS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- I didn't paint the bales in previous years but after the disaster I had with silage last year I said I'll chance it and see if I can at least keep the birds away from them.
I moved more cattle as grass was getting tight and I topped where they came out of to keep everything ticking over.

Nice to see another farmer using bale spikes as a pallet fork, the best system I have on my farm is having everything on pallets from digger buckets to IBC crates of timber it makes everything easy
Fair play Karen your a top class woman that takes on all the farming duties, which is not easy for anyone
Karen I love your videos absolutely love them...a mighty lady keep up the work ...love the farm ,animals and your life ❤
Thank you so much!
Fantastic looking calfs 👌great to see dad I really admire his determination it's not easy, thanks for another great video Karen ❤❤
It was a good that you saw the holes in the bales so you could patch them with some tape to keep the air out of the inside of the bales. The cows and calves moved out of the field nicely except for the calf. Topping the fields seems like a great way to stay ahead of the noxious weeds. Your smiles let us know you are happy you have a new calf without having to help the cow with birthing.
Blessings to you, Karen.
All the best to Dad and Mam on their hols. He'll enjoy it all the more knowing that calf is born so strong and healthy. Fine calf!! Definitely worth having a drink to celebrate indeed. 🍾
You are fabulous!
Some woman. Fair dues to you. Best of luck with the farming and full time job
Hello Karen. It's nice to see this farm under your hand starting to work well. Good job .
Thank you Karen you’re doing a wonderful job 😊
Great result with the cow calving on her own. You’re farming great. Rolling isn’t always the best for levelling fields as hard to get the timing perfect,either 2 wet to travel the field or 2 dry to do any good. Maybe reseeding and a good contractor to landlevel it might be a better plan. Not easy to keep marginal land from getting poached and cut up. Safe farming 👍
hi Karen nice to see you again
Hi Karen, glad to see you well, that little calf gave you a bit of exercise it looked fun, where all those kisses you painted on the silage bales for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣, another enjoyable video, look after yourself and stay safe, Ritchie
I have yet to see a day where I didn't run after sucklers they always have their own way which is usually a couple of laps of the field, Calves by far are the worst especially young calves, Super video Karen thanks for sharing calves are in fantastic order...
Another great video Karen. Nice surprise to find that she calved on her own Topping leaves the field tidy. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼
Fair spring in your step Karen when you spotted the cow super great video
Hi Karen great video again, the cow's and calfs look great in the field with the sun on them. You certainly get a work out chasing calfs and then putting the topper on. It's so rewarding topping a instant impact and nice stripes. Thanks again take care and stay safe 👍 😊.
Hello karen Frankie here. That is a beautiful Lake you have there beside you. We have six new Cignets here in the Estate that I look after. I recently won an award for the best large estate in Kilkenny and County. Swans are great. Hundreds of people come to visit them here in Lakeside Kilkenny. God bless keep up the great work. Not easy im sure but very rewarding. By the way its my Birthday today and I am starting it off by watching your video. God Bless enjoy the weather.
We used to have lots of swans here in the winter but not so much anymore but there are always a few that visit. Plenty of ducks and cute little duckings though
Brilliant video Karen, you really are a credit too your heard . Your topping is definitely paying dividends your pasture looks really good. 😍👌
Thank you!
Great to find the new calf up and sucked and all ok. The twins are doing well, you have lovely cows and calves. They are a credit to you. If you spray the rushes when they start to come after the topping it would make a great job of your fields.
Awesome to see she calfed without difficulty. One more to go.. stay safe and thanks for the videos 👍
Great video again and cattle are looking great and lovely scenery.
Good morning Karen i hop you have a nice day. ❤
That's is nice ❤️ from you Karen ❤️.
That's is nice ❤️from you Karen ❤️
Good morning Karen and good luck on the day. 💕
Chain harrow will brake up cow muck and help the root structure Karen and help fill any divites from the cow's feet, both would be a good investment
Wow Karen how great was that she did this all by herself and know you hhave no need to worrow as some times nature can surprise all of us . How Healthyy all the Her dlook congrats to you and all you hard work. With your bales is feel you have some thing Fearl so how about tryinga trap of some kind to rid this worry for you. Nice to also see you have the Bales laid down and not so open to leaking water when it rain this way. Keeo uo the great work every thing you do is one less job for later on. Aussie Bob.
Doing a fantastic job keep up the good work 😊
Hi Karen ! I found your channel when I was looking for Irish Farms. Love your hard work and videos. I am a part time farmer,in the U.S. , eastern Virginia near the Chesapeake Bay. My dear wife and I are planning a visit to Ireland in early September. We are definitely going to Kinsale as we are from Kinsale Virginia…. And driving up through the countryside….. I would be happy to spend some time helping with fence work, shoveling cow 💩, or running the 135 ! I could bring you some hay if I could get it through customs 🤣
Your beauty makes the sun even more brighter❤🎉
Powerful stuff as always , keep up the good work
Great show hope mum and dad have a great time brilliant show 🎉
Bert and ernie lookin good guys...great stuff karen
Hello Karen a suggestion ingot for my bales is put an old tyre on top of of each bale. The birds will land on the highest point for safety hence saving your bale or I hope so first time trying it this year. Super Job with the channel keep up the super work
Another brillant video karen 😊😊 what some beautful and cute calves you got you should be very proud of them your doing a wonderful job young lady 😊😊👍👍
Very good Karen. Nice to see the cow calved on her own and all went well.
A very good Thursday evening to you all from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧
Grand Job Lass, we calve about 40 almost always outside and have next to no bother. Hardest part is trying to find em all bc we have plenty of rushes too lol
Another enjoyable vid as always Karen and I could tell you were very happy that cow managed to calf on it's own and before your parents went of on their holiday, means your dad can relax knowing the calf is happily running around, and all I will say is yes to getting a flat roller and chain harrows as both will be very useful on your farm, and poor ole farmer Phil losing his phone like that be interesting to see what condition it is in if he ever finds it again, and Adrian from IFarm WeFarm paints his silage bales and it certainly seems to help so it should do the same for you as well.
Yes I actually watched Adrian's video with the difference between painted and not painted so said I'd definitely give it a try this year
@@karenmoynihanfarm That's good and it will certainly make a difference.
Well done on the new calf
Thanks for another up date Karen, the twins are doing well
Morning Karen lovely video as all ways mate, thay look like cat foot prints if you give me a close up off them I will be able to tell you better whot thay are, as a gamekeeper I know most animal foot prints take care of yourself stay safe,, hope your mom and dad have a lovely time on thar days away,, xx
Sorry Karen I don't do telegram only use whots app, take care xx
Good to see dad out in feild with ya hope it was a good day for both you and your dad
The twins are smashing calfs now karen well done. U just can't beat the milk on tap.
Hi Karen great video get a net to cover bales will help keep vermin away
Wish your Mum and Dad a great trip.
Bales and cattle and calves are Gorgeous.
Doing a Grand job Karen love from Australia ❤❤❤❤
Great looking beef! Your doing an awesome job 👍!
Push an old wrap to the place where you cannot get at Karen it might keep it sealed keep up u tubing you are brilliant 👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
Karen I do put a green net cover over them. It's one I used to use on the silage pit. It's great for bales to as I keeps crows away and cats off. Might be a bit expensive but you will get years and years out of it
Well done karen you are doing a fantastic job
... always love seeing new life .... great video out doors .... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, ust dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
Another grand video Karen and the cows and calves are all looking really well, thats a testiment to you and your dad for sure.
Thank you 😊
Brilliant just brilliant work 👏👏
Karen ,Get a few car tyres and a green net for bales.
Put cows to calf in shed big calves and mastitis could be a problem especially with flies & heat.
Hi to Dad yer mighty ✅
Cow calved 🤪nice size lim
Your videos are brilliant keep making them 👍!!
Will you be getting another tractor 🚜 soon to go with the 135 ?
Great video! We thank you. Looks like the only way to keep the rushes at bay is to keep them mowed down.
hey again Karen
back in 87 when I was working on a farm and we had to move the cattle we put a rope halter on the oldest and quietest cow and took off with her and then the others followed because she was the leader of the herd, maybe you can use it
If I tried that I would be dragged down the road 😅
Your cattle are looking good, lovely stock
I think you're amazing keep up the good work 😊
The fields look so much better. Looking at someone's fields and fences tells you alot about a person. It's obvious you are industrious.
Hello Karen, good idea of painting the bales , l must say u have great calfs with out a doubt, Lovely weather thankfully, topping good idea, great video, chat soon , kieran from Laghey donegal town
Great video, maybe upgrade the seat on the MF135, save your back while you’re saving up for a roller or a chain harrow. Great to see the new calf and know that’s another box ticked.
Lovely video we pulled a taught liner sheet over our bales it stop the crows pecking holes.
Delighted for ye Karen the cow calved grand and a lovely calf it is. I think its going to be a wild one though. Great video as usual so keep up the good work.
You look fyp karen and the best of luck with your tow cows to calf karen ❤❤❤❤
Nice to have a lake in your farm
That was a great surprise for you
Hi Karen, my neighbour puts some tyeres on top of the bales and then netting over the tyerses so the tyeres can keep the netting away from the bales and it stops crows and cats and the like from going at the bales.
Wow that's a worry over 😮looks a really nice calf 👍
Delighted cow calfed on own great video women farmer well done
g,day karen yes to the chain pasture harrows , it will help spead out the cow poo , and make the grass kick on bit ... cheers from Australia...
Karen, I just watched the short video of you ear tagging the cow. You might try covering her eyes, to see if that makes working with her easier and safer.
Great video the calfs will keep you fit running after them enjoy ur well deserved drink
You don't see milk cows over here with that much body mass! Absolutely beautiful beef!
Thank you for sharing. Maybe protect the bales indeed with net or canvas cloth. Hope the intruders will stay away.
Try wrapping your bale's with two different coloured plastic or put a net over them
i hope Rob gives you a good massage when you get home, because you really earn it from al that hopping around in the 135
Sheep wire us great for calf proofing a lane or yard, could then run single row electric fence insde. Save the hassle of running after the calves
Great job as usual Karen don't be drinking too much
Tough as nails this girl 🔨⚒️🛠️⛏️🇮🇪
Did ur Telegram account get hacked ??
If u buy small bag of white rhino lime and dust bales now and again is very good to keep birds off
Never heard that one
@Karen Moynihan works very well only hardship keeping it done after rain
Great video, ground is so hard there all rough. Would you ever think of spraying the rushes
Cow must of known your dad was going on holiday and the fright of the thought of you jacking her alone made her calf on her own ! clever animals cows!!
🤣🤣🤣 I can't even disagree
Wow great to see the calf and no drama - great. - What paint do you use on the bales _ I had different cans of spare paint I tried and it always peels off or washes off in a few weeks - what are you using ?
Just outdoor paint that I found in the shed so we'll see if it lasts. it hasn't been tested yet
Some people use a different colour plastic to identify different cuts /lots of bales
The co op only had the one type of plastic 🤣
Chain harrow yo level out. Then roller ta flatin it down
👍
Hello Karen. Lovely tree's around your field's. You're calves are super. Lovely job topping. Pity you hadn't another small tractor so you wouldn't have to take off the topper. Glad you're 🐄 calved safely. Hope you're parents have a good holiday. 😅😅😅😅😅
That's a beautiful little calf 👍
Quality calves and cow's Karen
Hi Karen, those prints look a bit big for cats. They are more likely fox?
Yes possibly. There are a few around
There is more plastic on both ends, would it be better to sit them on the ends ?
Hey karen glad to see the twins are flying it now 🥰 Just wondering about that first calf born who couldn't find the back 2 teats, did ye end up keep milking the cow or did the calf find them eventually himself?
He found them eventually but I think they dried up before he got to them. We decided not to keep milking her because she's not the quietest and it would just keep bringing milk to them but I saw him on them a couple of weeks later but he didn't seem to be getting anything out of them
Fox the do a lot off climing if u get greasse gun and put bits off it top off bales it stop birds picking baĺes0
I'm guessing Cats not Foxes on the Bails. Foxes would definitely poop everywhere up there!
❤❤❤❤
I know you're delighted about the 🐄 calving. It's good too get them bits of good luck sometimes. Xx
Couple blobs of grease on top of bale. Crows wont go near them again. 👍👍
Though it is amazing how badly a thousand year old seat can work.
I❤'s Simental's 👍
Guten Morgen Karen, du bist eine sehr schöne Frau und wohnst in einer schönen Gegend. ❤❤️
Glad the topping went well, and the bales are all in. Hopefully the “cat” doesn’t come back.
Also nice the cow calved well on her own.
I was looking at the forecast in your area. It looks like you may be getting a bit of rain this next week. I sure hope you do. Everyone’s fighting the dry right now.
I'm listening to the rain right now and glad of it 😅
@@karenmoynihanfarm awesome
