- Farming Life at La Forge is our channel, about our farming lives here in France. We are an Irish family from Galway who moved to France to farm in 2006. Join us in our videos of our day to day lives farming beef cattle dairy goats and some cereal.
In today's episode Mam will be showing you how we keep on top of out rodents/rats, Dad is filming for the first time on his own, we will be showing you some of our machinery and their attachments and finally I will be explaining how we fatten cattle and a little bit about the system here in France.

You are smashing this TH-cam game!! Makes me look like i’m standing still! Brilliant work!
Thanks 😊 you seem to be doing pretty good your self ☺️
Nice information from India 👍
Thanks for watching
Thanks
Great video, just found your channel and really enjoying the video's. Well done guys
Thanks, glad you enjoyed 😊
Great vid again. Be nice to see you feeding your cattle when they are housed. What a great idea by your dad for that Drawbar for the digger.
Good video ., your dad is great with he engineering!
Happy Christmas and prosperous New year to all at La Forge from Tom in home country x
Great video as always Lauren 👌
Thank you 😊
Hi Laura great video came here from a recommendation from Gareth Cotland Farmer glad I did only watched about 3 vids and subscribed already looking forward to more great content.
Your dad is a clever engineer
Great video as always keep up the great video laura
Thanks will do ☺️
Great stuff laura. Enjoyed this video 👌😊
Thanks glad you liked it
Great video
Great video folks
Cheers 🙂
Another good video
I have just subscribed! You are doing a great job, I really like the videos have just binged on about 10 episodes, your dad is an inspiration he has a great mind to come up with all the good ideas, I hope he doesn't mind but I am going to make a transfusion board tomorrow night it's a great idea, thankfully we don't need one often but it is a great tool to have for when we do. By the way I am in Wicklow and like your dad we have everything on the pin and cone quick attach tractor loader and digger but we don't have a skid it just makes sense to have all the attachments interchangeable and avoid unnecessary duplication. I very nearly made the move myself but got an opportunity to buy another farm just up the road so stayed put . Best of luck and happy Christmas.
Very interesting....thank you...
Thanks for watching 🙂
Good Interesting vid and your dad looks very handy with a welder 💪👏👍
Thanks! Yes he is indeed 😊
Nice vid laura and your dad and mum did ok as well that a good idea haveing all the loaders adapted to fit all the atachments o and i seen the blue heeler ok be safe out there see you on the next one
Great video Laura ye run a busy shop der nice to everyone pulling der weight and helping out keep up da gud work
Thanks! Yes well there's a lot to do haha 🙂
Great video Laura
Thanks 😊
The countryside looks very like Ireland lovely land 👍
Yes at this time of year it's nice and green 😊
Your dad's idea to tow the digger is good 👍
Yeah it saves us a fair bit of time 🙂 thanks for watching 😊
Gareth from cotland farmer sent me it’s great to see farming in another country. And I notice you use south sask farmers intro music without the swearing 😂👍
Get Jack Russells for rodents but best of all is the barn owl. Put up a few nesting boxes around the yard and if they come you will not have a rodent problem
Good idea with the five gallon drum making openings for rats and handy screwing of lid to drop the posion in I will use that one also loved the hitch for the backhoe keep them uploads coming I think this channel will do well👍
Great hope they work out well for you 🙂 thanks for watching 😊
Great Video!!
Interesting how’s its all done with co ops.
I see why you fatten the cows with the way it’s done with steers and heifers.
Great idea with the loader hookups, we have done similar with our telehandler to make it fit the euro hitch.
I really enjoyed the video 📹 and have subscribed. 🍷🍺👍
Thanks for watching I'm glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Haven't seen a hitch on a loader before. I put them on my pickup so you always have a ride home.
Amazing recommended by Cotland Farmer
That’s a clever idea for the Manitou brackets, I enjoy watching your videos, keep it up
Yes thanks it works well for us! Just saw your videos yesterday about changing the John Deere bucket over to your Manitou, don't know would this work for you? 🙂 Thanks again
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge yes I think this would work, I’ll ask the local fabricator to make a plate adapter, thanks
Great let me know if works for you! Looking forward to seeing your 135 restoration 🙂
Hi from Scotland
Most farm equipment is a one or two implements.
I got rid of old tractors, bad moved. Should have kept them for the job they were bought for.
Great content , also the best from county Mayo, have a look at the goodnature a24 rat killer no poison needed 👍
Great video its good to see other ideas and inventions on farms. Your dad has a great head for ideas. Do ye use parthenaise stock much and if so how do ye find them, ie docility, milk ability and how they do kill out at factory. Thanks
Great video. Your Dads a clever man with his inventions. We've found Slaymore poison to be the best. Still a grain poison and not as harmful for the dogs. Not sure if you can get it in France
How many months in the year can Ye graze the fields and what months so you need to feed because of drought, love the videos, keep them coming
❤❤
Fantastic 👍 do you have to do TB testing in France?
Take care stay safe 👌
Good Day. I’m a first time viewer. How did u all end up farming in France?
What was the coloured bull in the background in the last few mins mins of the video? Fair bit of an animal
Laura 👍💪👌
Great video. How old are you Laura if I may ask.
Laura great video. What's the typical price per kg for weanlings at a year old. €2:50/kg ?
Greatings from Grand Forks N D USA
Hello from France 😊
Very interesting video as always! I always thought it'd be a great idea to have hoods on ring feeders here in Ireland too.
The loader adaptors are a great idea.
Is the front axle of the digger still on the road when towing? Would that be hard on tyres/wheel bearings if its not steering?
Very interesting about the fattening. Do ye have a 440kg dw weight limit over there? Probably not for cows but probably is for heifers/young bulls/bullocks?
I am from Ireland co. Tipperary Hon tipp
Excellent video. What are your average weight at weaning please? Just interested in the time and weight gain to get from weaning off cows to the 1000 kegs when they go to Italy.
Hello, we wean them at 6 in months (280-300kg) then keep them another month-6weeks (340-380kg) on avarage 😊
So every bull and some females are going for weanlings and cows kept for breeding are eventually fattened when culls/etc.? That right?
Yes that's exactly it 👌😊
That towbar for the digger is some job! Did your Dad come up with that himself?
Thanks yeah he did 😊
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge Fair play to him. Necessity is the mother of all invention!
It's great that his mechanical experiance is standing to him and it seems to be rubbing off on yourself and your brother too. All the best!
Thanks, yeah we pick up bits here and there haha, thanks 😊 I'll have to check out your videos I've never come across your channel
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge thanks! I'm not too sure if it's got the the same watchability factor as yours does but would appreciate it of you would have a look 😁. I must have a look into your brothers website too as the machine has the same iveco engine as some fiat tractors.
What kind of grass do you have growing in the pasture?
Hi, we have a few different but most is italien rye grass :)
Please indonesian subtitle 🙏 coz, i like this video..
Hi how many acres is your farm ?
How old is your dad and what are his retirement plans?
Great show .the into makes me think it's the wtf farm girl
Who owns that lovely horse?
That's Celtic, our Connemara poney, he belongs to my brother William 🙂
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge he’s a very nice guy your brother is lucky to have such a good horse id die for won like that
Salutations d'indonesie..
Are the rats in France the same as the rats in Ireland?
What David drown do u have
David Brown 990
4-10 the best way to get rid of rats or a good terrier but not for eveyome liking witch I understand....
But naaa you can buy rat bat blocks, I put banana or peanut butter on them inside the hole that will soon clear them up.
Hope your keeping well!
Madam I want a job in dairy farm i have lot of experience in dairy farm. So if possible any job dairy farm.
Laura why are ye changing from Charolais cows to limousin
What about using cats...
we sometimes have wild cats about but the dogs offten scare them off, sorry for the late reply :)
@@FarmingLifeatLaForge
Walk the plank
th-cam.com/video/YfaDQJVplYI/w-d-xo.html
Une fumée tres noire? un voisin brule du plastique(vieilles baches)?
Non c'etais un camion a pris feu sure la grande route
How to breeding catle ? Use insemintaion ?
Hello, no we use stock bulls
Why not jus use cats?🤣 around yard!they are mother natures pest control I wasnt a fan.I was using poison and thought I had no vermaine till got pair wild kittens.If you seen what they caught since wer let loose 🙈 I had poison everywhere rats mice are hard buggars too catch and kill with traps poison!you need proper ratters
Yes cat's would probably be the best thing for them, we had a few wild cats pop up and hang around, one even had a litter, but they all ended up leaving, and the dog's didn't like them very much haha
Please give me adderss
Great video
Thank you 😊
