Josh's Farming Moments
Australia
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2024
Hi everyone, I'm Josh Cables and with my family we farm in Sheffield, Tasmania, Australia.
Like most farmers in Tasmania we are pretty diverse with both livestock and cropping.
I feel like everyone has a story to tell and I reckon putting some videos together will help me to remember mine...

The dairy gets a roof and wall panels arrive. For the first time ever I've had to irrigate the potatoes just before harvest and we are only 1 month away for winter!

Fantastic effort mate!!! Congratulations!
Good job josh hope all is going well there
Milwaukee battery sprayer 👌
Well done. I stumbled upon your videos by chance and now wait impatiently for the next instalment. The time, effort, and dollars you and your family have put into this venture deserve all the success coming your way. It won't take long for you to smooth out the bumps, and for the cows to know what is required of them. Once again, well done, you deserve every success.
Well done, I have been down this road four times over the years, putting cows through a new parlour can be a challenge however a bit of cake is always a good idea. I have only one comment to make on the new parlour which looks as they say the dogs bollo….. however we put in the low line was line exactly like yours and after a few months we decided to get them back to make it a swing up and down low line two reasons for it first we had a good few breakages from heifers ( mainly) back kicking and putting their foot down short and breaking the cup holders second we found it hard on the back bending over at the end of milking to put on the cups the swing up eliminates any bending. Best of luck with it , regards from Ireland.
Actually studied your system and see that you have a swing in and out low line which I don’t think I have seen in this neck of the woods but it makes my previous comment mute , that will teach me to watch the whole video before jumping in, in future, if you get a cow standing on your cup holder a broken cup holder will be the least of your worries!
Congratulations Josh great achievement I have well enjoyed watching the hole dairy build I have been watching since you had about 600 subs
Ll done young man and family. Cows in a new dairy is as big as it gets. I did it 50 years ago and still hugh. Love to all.
Watching this was such a great way to start my day. Cheers 🍻
Well done mate keep up the hard work
Great project Josh rewards will come.
Wow Josh what a massive achievement, it’s been awesome watching you progress through this. Big hugs from the NE. We’re currently milking about 400 with about 200 left to calve. Love dairy life 💜💜💜
Josh! When’s the next video!?
Right now 👍
Lovely spot Josh! Do you have one of those funky French brand tractors? They are awesome! Do a video so that when we are all eating insects, we will be able to see what people like you did for us in the old days 😂 Are you going to get into regenerative farming? Xxx Cindy in west tamar
So where is the bull, there’s always a bull when heifers get out!
G'day Josh. That gap between the Brest rail and the feed trough could possibly be interesting when a cow goes to stand up in the trough. I had the same but filled it in
Good luck for today
nice video mate 118 calved out of 175 for me😁how many cows do you milk
Thanks 👍 Ahhh well we are milking about 85 at the moment with around 150 to go.
Exciting times. Tomorrow’s gonna be fun.
Look out Brisbane 2032! It will be gold for Australia just need some cows out on the 100m sprint! Haha Goodluck with the first milk mate 👍
I was lucky I didn’t pull a hamstring!!
Gidday mate from Taranaki N Z, hope things go well for your first milking in the morning. Oh! As your daughter said! Shut the bloody gate, cheers from the nz
Good Luck
Great to see
It’ll take an overnighter, but deadlines will be met. 👍👍
So much stress and excitement ❤
Nice
Wondering the effects of light flicker on dairy cows. Seems I read something there might be negative effects
Hmmm. Not sure on that one… maybe if there eyes are in 60hz they may see the flicker but I’ve since changed the camera settings to 50hz and there’s no flicker 👍
There's been a lot of progress since i first subscribed while watching the original demolition video. You should be fine with those entry lead in ways, 700mm wide with 1200mm before the antenna is pretty much standard for any herringbone running an entry ID system. I can recognise the pulsators from 100m but im not familiar with those flow meters which leads me to guess you have a Delpro system going in???
I should go back watch that video to get an idea how far we’ve come! Most of the running gear is DeLaval with Waikato clusters and rubber ware.
That sparkys got a bit on! Haha
Lookin all fancy and high tech. I’ve every faith you’ll get it done, and in good order.
Shed is looking awesome man. If I would recommend something. how u have reduced the entry into the the cow shed now I’ve never seen it,it might work might not but if it doesn’t I recommend that u put a straight peace of bar going for the corner off the wall of the entry of the shed to your Brest bar it will help with better cow flow in the shed. Great video man
cheap VSD is an actuated leak valve, control vacuum but will still use the same juice always
Feeling the pain in that cold snap, we had no water in the pit, some of the cups had to be thawed, the yard blasters were iced up and the outside hose was frozen solid 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 Gotta love the dairy life 💜💜
It was horrible, absolutely horrible!
It’s really looking like a dairy now, can’t wait to see the cows walking in 😊😊😊💜💜
Things are really progressing 👍👍
We had 35 mils out here
Nice vid mate 👍
A damn fine video Those rock pickers are something else FarmerPhil gets a lot of use out of his over in Ireland
How much was hire of the rock picker ? Can’t find anyone in Qld with one for hire
Ahhh I think it’s around $300/hr. That’s shame you can’t find one! Fortunately there seems to be plenty of options in Tassie 👍
@@JoshsFarmingMoments Yea I’d say that’s a fair rate for what that implement costs in capital not to mention G.E.T involved that would wear out proper quick! Looks awesome man keep up the farming dream Running out of young people that want anything to do with this life so it’s nice to see you doing it 👌🏼
How good. Great work.
Looking good mate 👌
Dams look great 👍🏻 really enjoying this journey of yours Josh 💜🇦🇺
You're a funny bugger!
You say you haven't had any rain for a couple of months, but you could dig your ground with just a shovel. A couple of months no rain here, Central Queensland, and it's hard going with a crowbar. Half your luck. Enjoying your story. By the way, 30 degrees isn't that hot.
G day from the Mid North Coast of NSW. Josh I feel for ya. I've had my calves do the same thing. Lost about 30 bales as well...until I set up a separate electric fence for for the silage. Now they dont even look at it. Stored most of the damaged bales in my shed. Silage here cost about 80 to 100. So not wasting any.
Great idea! Most silage is worth around $150 bale here, which is definitely higher than normal!
an idea for your stone trap I have seen is putting a concrete slab beside it so when cleaning it out you put solids on the pad to dry out and liquids run back into stone trap then once dry you can spread out using a fert spreader
Need a bit of tape to patch them bales up
😂😂
All that work’s coming along nicely. I can just imagine the frustration with the cattle. Any chance you could re-bale them to cut your losses?
Hmmm not really once the air gets in… if we re wrap it would most likely spoil and create mould. I had to feed them within the week which was a challenge!
@@JoshsFarmingMoments wasn’t sure about that. Thanks.
Feel your heartache over the hay
Bloody cows, ya can’t trust them 😂🤣😂. Must say you scrub up alright Josh tie and all 😊
Can only keep on keeping on mate, it will all sort itself out mate, really enjoying ya videos 👍👍
