    Adrian, we breed ponies in west Wales and this afternoon a foal was born. It was a difficult birth and after about 10 mins, the foal rolled her eyes and went limp. I remember watching one of your videos when you resuscitated a calf by moving the front leg in circles. Guess what, that also works on foals! After doing that, vigorous rubbing and a bit of straw up the nose (your tip as well), she now looks ready for the Grand National! So I just wanted to say a big thank you to you. Without doubt, your video saved a little life.

    Just a suggestion for the work bench and the drill press. I have a relatively small work bench and I don’t like bolting tools to it. I bolt them to a piece of plywood (you can recess the bolts so it sits flat) and then clamp the plywood to the bench. Allows you to quickly swap out tools, make changes/repairs. Just a thought! Enjoyed the video as always

    We had a dairy heifer that had twin Angus calves just a month or two back, first for me too. Your lucky with your blue that it calved ok, we ran a blue X blonde bull with our dairy cows for a while when milk price dropped really low back in 2015-16. Heifer calf's we ok but some of the bull calves were enormous. We actually lost two cows due to calving them and causing nerve damage then we just cesarean quite a few after that. Let's just say, that bull went off quickly to make burgers! But the calves did make out to be some of the best store cattle we've ever sold.

      @IFarmWeFarm  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes I own that left side only, bought it a while back. That used to be all grazing ground but over time the drains weren’t cleaned out and the bog grew bigger. Kinda pointless touching it as there’s talk about rewetting bogs that have been drained in the past at the minute so will have to see how that goes first. Have no plans to touch it at the minute anyhow Shane 👍

    I am here thinking and I don’t know when it was but the only time we had twins out of a heifer was about 25 years ago and they were twin heifers and we still have the blood line, quite a few have had twins over the years but not as heifers, one of them was red and white too which is rare enough here. I bought the heifer as a springer from a man in Lucan who had sold his land for development, the were very lucky heifers who had 4 heifer calves as heifers. Had two sets of twins this spring one of each and sold them to the guy who buys the bull calves as a calf ( buy one get one free).

    Could you not get an electric submerged pump to pump you dirty water into your other tanks instead of needing to start tractor up! We have one to pump dirty water into slurry to help mix them and it works well, pipes burried under the yard and you just flick a switch! Remembering to turn it off is the hardest job😂
