Would you ever consider getting one of these contractors that has one of these separators in to remove the solids

how come your cows are not dry @ this point in the year?

Very dangerous having that young lad driving the tractor you could get squashed between the tractor and agitator just observation

Good video. Difficult working in the cold weather.

Are you Andrea's brother who owns a TH-cam channel? Sir, I have some rather bold questions 1 Did you graduate from an agricultural university? What is her name? 2Did you borrow money from the bank to buy your farm? 3 How much time does it take you every day to work on this farm? Sir, there is constant isolation while you work alone on the farm daily, weekly and monthlyHow do you personally deal with this problem? Many agricultural content makers do not address this topic. Please answer me frankly Sir, are there laws prohibiting the employment of workers on your farm in Ireland? Sir, how much does it cost to produce a liter of milk on your farm? I am from Algeria. I hope you can answer all these questions for me. Thank you

Your tanker needs a clean. .🚜🐂🐃🐄

Great video Alan

Hi Alan that was a greed job with it and keep up the good work with all on your farmer and your good young lad to help you to on it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Well done great video the cold snap was night mare keep it going

Yes it is cold

Good man himself alot work get line unfrozen

Always intrigued by slurry operations,do you remove cattle from sheds while agitating often seen videos where a dose of gasses can be fatal(be careful)

Hi Alan, a space heater would a handy job in parlour. Maybe🙏

First

Well said your either at one thing or another

Happy new year Alan. Keep up the videos my wife and I love following you

Yeah I think you’re right but I would consider using sex straws and rear a dozen heifers of your own, surprising where you would keep them they could even follow the cows around. The very best of luck with what you do!

I pray for you and your family to have a wonderful new year.

If you buy in replacements you’ll just end up buying TB into your herd then you’ll get locked up and won’t be able to sell your calves. You’re in big trouble then

How did you sort out the bvd I have lost 3to it have blood test a few more don’t know where it came from

You should breeding your one replacments use Ai the first look into sexed semin good idea closed herd with all TB thats around

Thank you for all your videos in 2024. Looking forward to more of the same in 2025

I think it's worth keeping your own dairy replacement hiffers enjoyed watching all year happy new year to all of yours yours

happy new year

Happy new year Alan and family

Good idea sell off calfs

Good man keep up vidio happy new year

I’d highly recommend sticking to dairy stock only Alan, keep a closed herd with your own replacements each year. Concentrate solely on breeding, A.I been key there to keep them solids on an upwards trend. I don’t think you’ll regret doing that and it will free up time for off farm work “if needed” and hopefully a decent income at home.

Alan if you can't make a living from 60 cows you've no employees to pay and the price of milk you shouldn't need outside work

That is agreat idea to give up the dry stock , the money is in the milk , i cut down the over heads , cut down work , I guarantee you will have more NET PROFIT WITH LES WORK WITH SEXED SEMEN THE COUTRY IS FULL FRESIAN HEIFERS AND YOU CAN BUY HEIFERS AS YOU WANT THEM

Ye work extremely hard for what ye get out of it , No 8 hr day or 5 day weak like most employees of the state

Happy new year keep up the videos.

I think that your right in your decision to concentrate on your dairy cow's and buy replacements as you need them I'm a small suckler/beef farmer but I used to work out and yes it isn't easy done but I don't know how many cattle I would need to keep to replace that income as much as I like it farming is getting harder and harder every year more rules and regulations and fighting the weather I think it's battle we just can't win but wishing you all the best with whatever you decide to do

Good stuff just don’t work yourself into the ground!

Good man Alan. Keep ploughing on lad. Happy new year

Happy new year to u alan and ur family.u no best what works for u.when u carry over no more calfs u will have room for a few extra cows then.tis all about sparing a pound and its not easy nowadays.stay on you tube please and looking forward to ur videos in 2025.

Hi lad that was a great job with all on your farmer with the cattle and sliage and cow's calfing and keep up the good work with all on the farmer and happy new year to you and all your family for 2025 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I started last year what your thinking this year. I used herdford and simmental stock bulls last year on the cows. I kept 30 of them for the summer and got near €800 for some of them when i sold in September. I wont train in heifers anymore. Too much hardship on my own. I extended the milking on my own this winter. Actually going to kells next week for a few parts for it. I do a bit of contracting as well that fits in well with the farm. Make it as easy as you can for yourself. Stay on TH-cam and if not ill email you to keep contact

Happy new year. Doing a great job keep it up.

Happy New year Alan all the best for 2025

Happy New year and keep the videos going

Happy New year Alan and family. Another year over . Best of health and good luck in 2025. Keep the head up....farming tough. Thanks for sharing videos with us.

On the tank I think well what we did was we have 1600 gallons tank put dribble bar on her it grows some grass around my yard but with grand and even on old tank it does add up when u look at grass u can grown but still u know best what your farm can do best look with all and happy new year

All good stuff...Only sugggestion is to speak more into the camera rather than shifting about which is more difficult to hear...Anyway, good luck with streamling your operation.

U a right. A good calf is worth 300 euro at month old .u could always keep 5 heifers a year for replacement.

Happy New Year to you and another great video.

Happy new year to you and keep the videos coming really enjoy them lad

Happy New year to you and your family,wishing you all health and happiness in 2025.

Enjoyed watching all year happy new year to all of yours 🎆

Enjoyed
