When cattle are lacking in copper I give them 5ml injection of multi min, puts a brilliant shine on their coat and helps them to keep thriving. I really enjoy your videos keep up the great work.
Great stuff Kieran. Good decision on those heifers to send to the hook. I still think you’ve a great platform to buy in premium style suckler heifers bull then and have a special sale at the fall of the year for them. You can tell their story from when they land in the door to bulling and their final day at the mart. Buyers will love to see their story and add in that they will be at the top of the chain quality wise they should leave a good share of schillings after them.
That’s not something I’d considered but there might be something to it alright. Buy good quality continental weanling heifers, out-winter, leave to the bull, and sell as in-calf in the autumn or winter
@@sullivansfarm promote it all here and on all social media platforms you have. You’d be surprised what buzz you could generate. Lads would love the out wintering aspect of it. You’d be buying in November/December putting them in calf in January Feb and having your annual Sullivan Farm Premium Incalf Heifer sale in early October with them all ready to calf by December/January. Any that don’t go incalf will still make money for the beef market with their quality. Your land would have almost two months with nothing on it if you pushed out your purchases a bit to December cutting back on silage needed and have extra paddocks in the summer time to up the amount you can keep.
Ye s are together this long ye s have crack t it fair play it takes a good team in farming it would test the best of us cattle look great and the weather is finally with us onwards an upwards from here 👍
True what they say behind every good man is a women from a personal view when I got married 15 year a ago to a woman from a nofarming back ground little did I think what would happen after few years of farm sucklers and sheep I lost my sheep enterprise's of 200 ewes to herself from everyday work to winter feeding of flock all I do now is really shearing fair play to the farmers wife's I say
Post-emergence spray is the main reason. I tried MSS before but no post-emergence meant the docks were never really gone. I might stitch in some MSS next year into this field when I’m happy the docks/nettles have been mostly removed. I don’t mind a few weeds but too many inedible ones is a no-no for me.
