A good result with the scans Joanna and Nick. Somewhat sad for the cow you now have to cull but twelve years is a good run for a breeder and she's had a wonderful life with you all at Dale Farm. You handled the cattle perfectly on the day. Great work. Thinking of you on this sad anniversary day. Joanna you're are doing the farm and your Dads memory proud.
Thanks Jeff, you definitely “get it” Unlike the ones who are commenting about me murdering and abusing animals for profit ! I I’m proud of the life we give to the animals here! It’s a jolly good life
And the anniversary day, it was a strange day. I think in the run up I felt worse, then the actual day came and I felt okay because we were busy with things … (sold some cows ! ) so that kept me focused on the present ! And then the days after I had some real sadness thinking about all the time my dad lost out on, and all the things I wish he could have done…. As 70 seemed so young x
We've had city relatives in late years say that we are so bad when we sell livestock but they just don't and won't realise that the farmer looks after the animals health and nutrition needs often better than his or her own. The livestock enjoy the very best life that can be given. Some people nowadays are so righteous and hypocritical and you can't reason with them. You may remember me saying about losing my dad 35 years ago. The anniversary of his passing is something that is always very poignant on the day even after all this time, and like you Joanna I wish I'd had my dad around longer so we could have farmed together longer and had him meet my 2 children and now also my 2 grandchildren. Your circumstances are so similar to mine back in 1987 and I truly do believe I have some idea of how you feel. You will have sad days but you will also have many days where in your heart you know your doing his memory proud and that's the best way to cope. Well done Joanna.
I watched this before the last “bull problems” one. I guess he was bored and was trying to expand his herd. Good results, too bad about the one cow, but now Bill can go home and you don’t have to worry about him. Preparing the area well sure paid off when moving the cows. If they don’t think they can get over, they don’t even try. Well done.
Interesting how you folks on a family-size farm use whatever you have to to make things work, like blocking escapes with vehicles, etc. Love your farm, your persona, and your channel.
Well...me Grandpap John always said it's good sign when a bull jumps the fence...a pain in the ass when that happens though. A shame for the one Highland losing her 'little one' in the womb...that's tough on everyone. Joanna...you and Nick don't give yourselves enough credit for coming into your 'stride' as farmers - your Dad is smiling! Thanks for sharing the scan results -looking forward to the next video! Cheers...
There's always good news and bad with stock. It's amazing how things have come on over the years. Being able to scan cattle or sheep makes it much easier to give them the right amount of feed and not waste feed on cull animals. Looks like a good day all round. All the best 🇬🇧.
Good job, looked like it was pretty stress free for the ladies. And results where good, gives a chance to make a good plan for the farm. It's not free to have them checked, but can pay off in the long run for sure.
Hi 👋 yes I was weighing up beforehand , the cost versus what if we are totally in the dark. It could go okay , or we could end up with only 2 calves or something and then have been feeding cows all winter without producing any calves
Hi Joanna, Good Video and good results. I'm pleased it went well for you. Well Bill done the job, despite the odd high jump here and there. Shame one of the cows has to be culled, still it's lived the greater part of it's life. The way time flies the calves will be here before you know it...🙂👍🏻
Congratulations to you both! and of course to the ladies and the wandering bull. I think knowing what is ahead and planning food/space for the new Moms and future little ones is a good strategy. The HIghlands are so special. Your Dad would be thrilled.
Thank you Donna! He would have been nervous too on the day but definitely delighted afterwards, I can picture his smile and his twinkling blue eyes. Miss him so much x
I have it running on my iPhone I’m out getting a load of hay for the animals, so I hope all goes well with the scanning and you have lots of babies that look forward to.
Well done, good result unfortunate the old girl wasn't in calf, but that is the way it goes. Great little video and good to see you two gaining confidence, you CAN do it! thanks.
That's a good test so happy for you both. Well done everything is coming into place. Keep up the good hard work. Well done to you both. Good luck and god bless. ❤❤❤❤
Hi Jo and nic don't forget instead of friend u could have had PAYING public to help you who would be in heaven on the farm u are both giving us a breathe of fresh air away from the sh** in the real world keep it up more episodes per week if u can from an old boy in essex xxx ttfn
With all due respect it’s not a job for someone without experience around cattle!! Working with livestock can be dangerous, getting cows into a crush etc if you don’t have your wits about you then you could be hurt or killed. Or just an accident. Farmers are crushed and killed!
Hi Joanna. You both managed to overcome the trepidation at the start of the day with those successful scans. Plus, more knowledge to add to the experiences you've already acquired on the farm this year. It was wonderful to share your joy at the end fo this video. Many smiles from down south
Hi Colin, thank you! Yes we were nervous for sure but very relieved and thankful it went smoothly and mostly everything was positive! Can’t dwell on the negatives too much x
Hi Joanna great news about the scanning, a bit of positive news makes things better lifts the spirits. They all look really well so you must be doing the right things take care both of you and stay safe 👍.
Thank you Kelvin, yes the vet said they were looking in good condition which definitely made me have a little flutter of happiness that we can’t be doing too bad managing the livestock !
Hi Jo and Nick Wow what a result that was. Brilliant news for you and something to look forward to next year. Your highland cattle are certainly beautiful and already have some cute calves. You look so happy both of you Well done Enjoy your weekend Love Kim x x
Hi Kim! Yes it’s been a busy couple weeks , we sold some old ewes too, Yesterday we sold 2 cows and a calf , The bull has gone too ! Feeling proud of our achievements! Especially as a year ago we were in such a dreadful mess xx lots of love and have a lovely weekend
Well done both of you, that was a good result, and just to say the cows look really well and so clean, as for the cull cows they have had a great life and it is part of farming, best wishes from EA.
Hey Colin, yes I’m very aware that we have to be able to handle the tougher aspects such as letting animals go. I don’t enjoy it , but i know it’s part of the process. And we have 2 of Edwinas daughters so we can carry on with her legacy x
You did well, the cows and calves look really good. They appear to be a quiet herd obviously they are getting good vibes from you and Nick. Take care xx
Thank you. Yeah they are a good bunch for sure. Not so sure how the younger ones on the moor at the moment would behave ! One is very skittish! But we do brush them around the feeder in the winter
Hiya Joanna & Nick, Well done on the cattle; it must be a tremendous relief to know which are in calf. It is a shame about that one, but as you know, life is not forever. I'm thinking of you today. You did an incredible job with no trained help besides the vet; well done to you both. I would never argue with one of that heard; those horns are... Stay safe, Steve...
Thanks Steve! I was super nervous without my usual friend helping us, but a combination of things - nick and I have grown in confidence ( couldn’t have done this a year ago!) and we have worked to make our systems safe and cover all bases / eventualities so that there’s less room for accidents or mishaps !! And it worked so we are delighted ! The cows themselves are quieter in a smaller group too so it’s a win win having cut down the numbers
@@DaleFarmwhy am I not surprised about your working to make it safe? You are the type of people who will always endeavour to make it as safe as you can. Oh look, it worked! Congratulations to you both, you've done a wonderful job, and thank you for the wonderful video. Steve xx
Congratulations on another monumental day for both of you, it really is very cool to observe your confidence, and your ability grow with each and every chore that you take on. 🙏🏼😁
Thank you Keith, it has been a massive growth / journey for us, and we do always make a point of recognising every challenge we have tackled and overcome! As it helps build confidence and we are very grateful the support ! X
Once again your great preparation before moving the cattle etc pays off & everything went well then for you all , well done on the calf news for next year 👍👍
Thank you so much Michael, I think it’s best to almost over prepare when working with the cattle. In the past we have had cows jump a gate, get their leg stuck it was a worry and they could have got really hurt
They are majestic beasts those Highlands and congratulations on a good scan result. Also within the yard my beady eye picked out I suppose you would call it a scrape out raised ramp for scraping out cow kennels back in the day ,with normally a rotospreader parked underneath it was this from perhaps dairy days?
Yes!! We used to use the scraper not so many years ago , dad used to buy a few cattle at the market and feed them up / bring them on a bit. They would spent the winter in the shed so cleaning out wit the 135 and scraper about 2 times a week. I used to help him ❤️
Thank you for the reply Joanna, did you have a spreader positioned beneath the ramp or did you scrape it into a midden? Also looking at your MF 135 that Nick was manoeuvring, you wouldn't think it had been on scraper duties as cow muck is notoriously harsh on the paintwork. See it's starting to get cold these last couple of days you'll have to dig out the old winter gear!
Hi 👋 yes definitely would be frustrated to wait all summer and have no calf produced from her. She calved in October 2021 so she’s had a bit of an easy ride on the farm this summer ! ❤️
Very nice to see all the cows that were with calf. That will help to pass the winter. Are you looking to do any beef or lamb processing for the store? Cheers!! Thank you and take care.
@@DaleFarm As time marches on, nothing stays the same anywhere, especially on a farm or ranch. I can remember when I was a small child, we ran horned Hereford cows, and because of our severe climate Dad started running Scottish Highlander bulls . Fond memories I guess, you know what I mean. Have a great day 🐂
Now Joanna you know good and well those cows are not going to misbehave around you they know that you'll get them 😁 and that is good to look forward to calves those Highlands remind me of muskox course of musk ox is much bigger but still I bet you get good meat off of them 💥✌️🐝🇱🇷
all bulls that are on hire get like that very quickly ..............a bull has only 2 things on his mind ........his prick or his belly .........and he would have to be locked in a concrete yard for his belly to be on his mind ........!
All animals age and die, but they do not have the health care and assistance humans have. They can’t retire. Their children don’t bring them food or protect them, and they don’t have medications or pain relief. Death is usually a slow and painful process unless a predator takes them out, but even that is usually not quick or easy. The best they can hope for is a hunter’s bullet or arrow. Farm animals have a bit more care but still suffer greatly as they age. Culling them is a kindness. Consider the recent push for euthanasia for humans. Many say humans should be able to choose to die the same way we peacefully end our pets suffering. Culling farm animals is no different and is the best way to honor their lives and give them a quick, painless end.
You highland are nice but it’s the horns l don’t like tho .To dangerous. Especially as you can get Polled Cattle with no horns . Something you Should consider really. This farm needs money Spent on it . But it also needs cleaning up too tho . Your collected a lot of Stuff but is just junking up your farm Sheds Sadly
It’s my home, been in the family since 1880 and I’m the fifth generation to farm here. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. To me Dale farm is perfect as it is. Always looking to invest in improvements but we do the best we can , under the circumstances we are in
IF were to Sell tho So called treasures it would help too improve your farm and border boundaries fences and help you get other things you need for your farm tho really
Hi joanna! I've never been so late watching one of your vlogs.. 🤦♂️Having only one cull cow is not a bad result. What a Yr you've had, I hope you and nick can find the time to take a break away from it all,we all need to.. As for some of the comments written telling you what you should do with your farm and stuff, well I quess those people are experts... 🥱🥱🥱
Hey Brian, thanks for watching! Yeah it’s definitely been a “full on” year for us with everything. And yep, sometimes there are some comments that are a bit insensitive or whatever but I am thankful mostly because folks tend to be pretty amazing on the whole here and support our journey here x
Trovo offensivo per questi meravigliosi animali fare finta che vi interessi della loro salute. A voi interessa solo il denaro. Sicuramente li massacrate per la carne. Che orrore!

Thank you John !
What a great result in the scanning of the cattle they all seemed well behaved and you and Nick did a excellent job as well thanks for sharing
Thank you Terry , it was a really interesting day!
I like the way you have individual names for the cow’s. Another good video 👍
Thank you Allan. Yes they have nice names don’t they!! The calves this year are called Daphne , coco, Gwen and maple 🍁
Good job, looked like it was pretty stress free for the ladies. And results where good, gives a chance to make a good plan for the farm. It's not free to have them checked, but can pay off in the long run for sure.

My god such stunning scenery the cattle are so physically adapted to the climate and the farmer is a Vogue runway model
Thank you john for appreciating it all!!

Sounds like you had a good day! Pity about the one cow but 🤷♂ they can’t produce for ever. Be interesting to see what the egg counts look like
The count came back at zero! And the vet was pleased with the condition which felt nice to be complimented 😊
Just discovering the one cow not in calf to cull pretty much should pay for the scanning by not feeding her another winter.

Hi joanna! I've never been so late watching one of your vlogs.. 🤦♂️Having only one cull cow is not a bad result. What a Yr you've had, I hope you and nick can find the time to take a break away from it all,we all need to.. As for some of the comments written telling you what you should do with your farm and stuff, well I quess those people are experts... 🥱🥱🥱
Hey Brian, thanks for watching! Yeah it’s definitely been a “full on” year for us with everything. And yep, sometimes there are some comments that are a bit insensitive or whatever but I am thankful mostly because folks tend to be pretty amazing on the whole here and support our journey here x
But yeah , the odd comments can be hurtful
@@DaleFarm probably best not to engage with those people and they'll move on.. 👍
Trovo offensivo per questi meravigliosi animali fare finta che vi interessi della loro salute. A voi interessa solo il denaro. Sicuramente li massacrate per la carne.
Che orrore!
