Few odd jobs on this morning trying to beat the heat, but the cows have started the 2nd rotation on the chicory.
It looks much better but we still need rain badly as everything is getting stressed due to lack of moisture

Our Dairy system is quite unique as we only milk our 320 jersey cows 'Once A Day' (hence the name) only in the morning, and they stay outside on grass for 365 days of the year!!

When it gets dry here I struggle to find the positives.no pugging,no mud, wonderful bringing cows up in the morning,great sunsets,great hay making….am sure you can add to these. Great videos,thanks!

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

Yeah I know what you mean for sure but a little bit of rain and green grass would be nice 😂👍

Awesome video as always Andrew. That’s some hot weather mate. Do you want some of this uk rain, I’ve got webbed feet, with all this water. Great use of the family motor, who needs a ladder haha. Cracking plums, should make lovely jam. Your pool is hotter than my house radiators. Definitely the right move getting extra fittings while your there, saves all that hassle looking for something you haven’t got, plus save on fuel and time, time is money. Thanks Andrew for sharing.

I’d happily take some if I could 👌😂

Enjoyed your video thankyou. Have a good day

@drdulas5055 2 года назад

Thanks for the ride to town. It is fun to see towns in youtubers area. And nice seeing warm weather. We just had another snowstorm this weekend. You may have to hide your extra parts stash, lol You need to mount some cattle horns on your wheeler. What is the protein of the chickery? Time to make plum wine. The cows probably know which paddocks they are going next from habit over the year.

@gerryoconnor8751 2 года назад

Beautiful plums Andrew, I envy you. 😍. I do hope you get some rain soon. I could see the cows heading for the shade of the trees when you put them in the night paddock. When we get a hot spell they all lie under the trees and come in filthy. Good video again Andrew 👍

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

Yep I need more trees, that’s definitely an ongoing project of mine 👍

Getting really dry. Interested to see the afternoon crop feeding results

@caveweta 2 года назад

We’re 35 days without rain now, will be needing the water tanker soon. That chicory sounded crinkly dry when the girls went in to graze.

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

It’s starting to really look like a desert now 😩

@gregsullivan8956 2 года назад

Hope you get rain soon

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

🤞

@peasant5612 2 года назад

good work, yip I'm also a fan of having a few spares around, such a hassle having to go in to town for a pipe join or that trough arm I forgot to fix last time and now I wanna use that paddock again doh!! Dissapointing about that cyclone wasn't it? really wanted that rain even to just water the chicory and turnips woulda been helpful.

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

Very disappointing, I thought we might get something but no! Hopefully this next one 🤞 although it if we get anything it doesn’t look like it’s going to be a lot 😩

@nickmarriott4520 2 года назад

I recon if you are hitting your water lines with the mower it may not be buried deep enough😆😆

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

Yeah it wasn’t buried at all that’s the problem 😂

@robertrecher254 2 года назад

Why do you not grow a ryegrass for your cows???

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

The whole farms pretty much ryegrass, but it drys out pretty early so we need summer crops for the cows to eat, we could do silage if that’s what you mean, but this way is a bit cheaper and less labour intensive 👍

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

@stephenluciehome4778 2 года назад

How do you plant your Chicory ? Roundup the direct drill or plough ?

@benjaminbauer4883 2 года назад

There is a video of the planting on his channel. But they just killed off the grass then direct drilled.

@TheOnceADayFarmer 2 года назад

Yeah we spray out then direct drill straight in 👍
