Join me for a random Wednesday on the farm! Winter involves lots of feeding, scraping, bedding, feeding and some coding! Follow us on: TikTok - / farmtheoryni #smartfarming
Great Video, theres nothing like a good vice (bench mounted) to deal with rusted joints also soaking then in oil and and or penetrant, thanks for sharing
A fuel transfer pump is not a good idea. It can crush the fats in whole milk and cause calf scour. Better getting a proper milk pump and meter( rotech..).
Great video. We got rid of our starlings by keeping a few cockerals about the yard. It works. The starlings think there a bird of prey and wont come near.
I thought your idea of auto empty drinkers was unnecessary until I was watching this video all finished up back in bed and remember the cows had dunged in one of there drinkers and i forgot to empty it.... I got one of them milk carts from fane valley and the more expensive one was because it had the mixer in it for powder milk I don’t think it’s anything to do with the tap I could be wrong though
Drinkers have been a very useful project so far. I am struggling to adjust sensitivity but getting there! One drained this morning at 7am, not sure why, cows weren't drinking from it but the drinker looked clean.
You should gap sheet the roof in your calf you will surprised how the airflow improves I was in a similar situation you feel the air moving and when you get to end of march and April the rising hot air can get away 11:25 11:25
Unfortunately as of this year starlings were removed from the general shooting licence here in Northern Ireland meaning that the dam things are now protected.
Excellent video. I got fed up carrying milk and I just went and purchased an auto calf feeder this year. Just top it up with powder and monitor the calves on the phone. Easy 👍
@@FarmTheoryNI Very happy. My shed is terrible and I really need a new calf shed like the one in the Grasstec video last week. Only issue I have is some calves refuse to suck from the teat of the feeder so they have to stay and be fed manually. I think this is to do with the teats I use when as babies, are different to the machine teat so I need to use the same teats so no difference which I will be doing this week. A part from that, it’s a life changer.
