We’ll have you guys booked into the cottage for next year! Now don’t be getting that jersey dirty Richard as it will be worth a lot of money in years to come 🏆😂😂. Cavan for Sam 👍
I'll bring the scotch eggs🤣
Hi Richard,very wise words about small farms and the community , down here in west Devon we have a lot of big dairy farms and livestock farms and the impact of that not only effects the community but also when you’re trying to buy replacement livestock you get squeezed out at market by the big farmers and dealers being able to pay a lot more than you great if you’re selling not so good if you’re buying so simple things like that add to the difficulty of earning a living from a small farm so big respect to you and Ian for keeping small family farms going 👍
You will never have a finer pint of Guinness than the one you are given at the top of the Guinness factory - beautiful!
I want to say , thankyou , thankyou to you and Farmer P and Farmer Adrian.
And all the others that invite us in to your farms and what you do .
Your lives are so much . Can't explain it .what you do is so worth it compared to other things .
I got to watching you guys because of
The vet who wrote all creatures Great and small .you are the real deal .
We need the small farms but I was taught nonsense in school .not the things we need .We need farmers and it was so fun watching you all .Enjoy each other and farm talk .
If you have more footage of that it would be wonderfully to see .
I don't know if you guys can hook up and do a spilt screen live again . Just a thought .
Thankyou again .
Cheers .
Thank you for your videos of your trip to Ireland ☘Hope you and Farmer P enjoyed your time here,it was great that you could meet up with Adrian from IFarm WeFarm.Crack On!🚜🐄📹👍
As an Irish country boy. Dublin to me is just a cringy place to go. Nothing makes me wanna go there for little to no reason. Keep up great work Richard
I am so glad you had a good time in Ireland and got away with Farmer P for some good laughs. Adrian really is a great guy and I am sure he enjoyed your visit.
Coming home to a downed cow does take a bit of the shine off it. I hope she recovers quickly. Cheers! 😊👍👍
Good morning Richard, Yes it’s nice to see you back from your vacation in Ireland it was as if we was with you I think we will miss it all as much you although it’s nice to be back. It’s a pity you never got to see the Guinness factory but at least you have a good reason to go back. You stay safe and well and look after yourself until then nice to have you back.🍀🍀🐄🐄👍👍⭐️⭐️
Good morning, Richard, I hope your cow gets up soon. And we are happy you and MR. P had a good time in Ireland. CRACK ON
I have to say you are 2 brave men driving into Dublin City Centre!! So happy you enjoyed the trip!! Hope to see you back again!! Jeepers just back and straight back into the farming! What a great life!!
Wise words my dear. Love xx
O Funky you and Ian had me in the stitches watching here in Australia I also was in Rathneska for the cultural muddying was there for 3 days or part of Met Farmer Phil sorry missed you blokes.Glad you had some craic Sure it was great
Now I know Adrian is a practical man Cavan for Sam Say Sheffield United for the Cup this year No siree no can do ,but if Adrian can dream so can I as I’m from the muddy county and we also would like Sam
dont like big farms were the cows never go outside good to see harry got a present
So chuffed that you both had a great time in Ireland. Adrian and his family have become farming icons here, i think it’s just the warm natural way he has about him. There a guys that love the fame and are at every show or event going selling there merchandise and trying to be the best out there, best of luck to them but that’s a turn off for me. You 3 set a very different tone and are more relatable and likeable as a result.
Crack on.
Kerry for Sam again 😂
Hi Richard unfortunately it's happening in Ireland long ago where the small farms are dwindling , your size farm is seen as a big farm in Ireland, they used to be a lot off small farms around 20-40 acres specially up north like Donegal
You are doing great richard please dont change we have similar numbers and are very happy
It's awesome to keep the small farm going if you can. The small farm is definitely rare in Alberta aswell. Keep it going as long you can do it
Great video as always , so glad you enjoyed the real Ireland , the end of your video is as important as the start , having all the fields and machines in the world may not be as good to you as having helpful neighbours!
Great coverage of your trip over here to Ireland glad you enjoyed our hospitality crack on Richard 👌
Thanks for all the Ireland 🇮🇪 videos glad you enjoyed the trip over 👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️
Rich, I'll a non farmer, I totally understand and agree with your thinking on running a small farm. Good luck to all small farms long may they continue.
You are right about small farms cos we all see the amount of time the big farmers travel taking there crops they grown miles from field to home to feed their animals for the the winter. So we hope that you can keep your small farm going for a long time to come. An yes with farm manager Harry we hope the farm keep going for years to come crack on
Irelands beating heart is in the country people not in dublin city
What a glib generalisation. So no decent city people because they live in a city.
Richard you hit the nail on the head there..
unfortunately this is happening ĥere in Ireland too encouraged by Government policy Glad you enjoyed yoùr trip ..come back again soon 🤚
My whole life I have visited ‘family’ in a tiny village in Gloucestershire where my dad was evacuated in the war. The family still live there. When I was a child there were 4 farms, 3 dairy, one general. 3 were owned by different generations of one family. Young Mr Thair had a small parlour for probably 50-70 cows, middle Mr Thair had all sorts of livestock for meat and used to make butter from the cream of his sons farm, and old mr Thair had probably 6 cows which were milked by hand and there was a larger dairy farm up on Combe Hill. Everyone knew everyone else. They would lend a hand to each other, it was idyllic. Sadly all the farms have gone to rich outsiders who do not farm although the buildings are still there, and the comunity is not what it was. I think one day it will be the small local farmers who we will turn to and I see that happening now here in East Sussex as long as we can keep the influx of city folk (who try to change our traditions) at bay.
Glad you had a great time here and it was great to meet you even if it was in a inappropriate place if you remember
oh yes🤣
Well come to Ireland farmers P and Richard
Brilliant 4 days Richard. What a great time the pair of you had. Back to normal with a bump but memories for ever and a future trip, or trips, to look forward to. Thanks again.
When you come back , you must pop up to Donegal
Good man Richard. It was Harry's farm i started with through Harry's Garage. But my wee man (Dylan) and I love your channel the best. We live rurally our house was one of those lumps of land that a farmer sold. So we live next to a milk farm. His farm is a similar size to yours. It was brilliant to see you visit our own back yard. So just keep on keeping on fella 🤘
You guys are having loads of fun
great videos on your trip to ireland ,see all the old tractors and farm you visted
Just remember when you were in Dublin it used to be the second city to London of the British Empire and that explains the architecture
Glad you enjoyed the trip to eire here very welcome
We have small dairy farm here in Vermont ,our communities have been hollowed out with small farms exiting.you're exactly right with your comments.
Gòt keep the small farms going,you've a big following in ireland,I'd say mainly because you keeping real and a small bit fruity at times.
Morning Richard… Great Craic had by all.
Dublin might have 20 percent of the population of Ireland. but it dosent have 1 percent of its soul. thats held in the rural areas by by the country people. im glad you enjoyed Ireland
Great video, hope your cow gets up soon
Flying raynair, I sure Michael ó Leary would have given you a tour of his pedigree Angus farm in westmeath. Its near cavan. He loves free publicity.
Fully agree about small dairy farms all great video 👏
Excellent video as usual Richard! Keep it up. Ive been a subscriber since 2018 and i love your content. I live in rural east dorset.
about 50 to 80 cows is common but there are many with easily twice that too. Thing is that man with his smaller herd knows his cows, his calves, heifers, land, machines etc and they know him. With 100 cows you just don't get that and I think they can go unnoticed a lot with rushing around and workload when eventually it catches up to them in some way. Like nobody has 12 kids anymore, a few is a handful to look after, I see that as the same
plenty of farms in my area in north wales milking 40-70 cows!
I can't believe you stay in errigal. I love watching this channel and there you where, in my home town.
Come back again
It should be multiple small farms instead of the large scale farms. Im a fan of the small family farms
Interesting to see a little Ireland, glad you had a good time. (Still trying to wrap my head around Barack Obama Plaza in the middle of the Irish countryside...they're building his presidential center here in Chicago and I'm not sure it will be as nice as that plaza is!)
Thanks for all 4 parts :) loved my vicarious holiday with you both back to work now tomorrow lol :)
Do you watch a few acres farm ? Us guy thought about it when you were looking at the old farmalls.
He's a farmer/engineer:) fully restored them .thanks again
Fully agree with you Rich about small dairy farms being better.If you can keep the loans to a minimum, its still possible to make a good income from 70 cows.Big farms are more a case of managing staff than managing a farm and lots of other headaches therefore the enjoyment goes out of it.
Bang on I would say
You should have a tour of Wexford the funky farmer have a tour of the Wexford farms
I agree with you about the demise of the small farms, in my village there used to be four small farms, all mixed farms growing Wheat and Barley and 3 were dairy farmers one was Beef owing to most of the grassland being away from the main farm. Now as the older farmers Farmers Retired one of the younger farmers took over the farms which so now the land is all run by one farmer and his family with the 3 not used farm yards all housing now.
Have you thought about going Organic Richard ? for the extra premium. I know you don't use much fertiliser and chemicals but could be a lot of hassle to convert.
Craic On 👍
Ye 2 great guys ,next time ye coming come into knock airport if ye want to see proper irelamd and massive seneriry
You will find bigger farms in Meath Louth Kildare . Cavan has poor ground
Totaly agree with your thoughts on the smaller family farms........shame that our government and supermarkets don't think that way though. just like your downer cow you got there if it was a big farm they would be straight out with the gun to shoot it cos they wouldn't have the time to put to it to give it a chance. your lucky you got your brother and you can both take time off while the other one looks after the farm ..........many farmers including myself that don't have family willing to help don't get the chance to travel
Hi Richard I totally agree and have said for years we should go back to the small holding style of farming, employs more people in every way, better for the environment and for communities. The factory type farming is harsh on the environment but as usual a preferred way for government, who has constantly tried to do away with small farms.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣you went Amsterdam enough said
Hi funkey farmer big follower off urs . U made a comment at the plowing . Didn’t know how to read the license plates on the tractors know how old the are . . Iff u see 96 CN on the plate . That means the tractor was bought new in 1996 Cavan . Iff the plate says 99TY that means the tractor was bought in 2009 Ty stands for tiperrary
90 D is 1990 Dublin👍
The Sam won't be coming to Cavan any time in the foreseeable future 😢
Curious to know what Veronica thought of your trip!
Do you sell milk at your farm ?, My local small dairy farm has a machine that we can fill our milk bottles and a vending machine for eggs and farm made butter, always people there getting their milk.
Let's be honest Adam Henson runs a rare breeds farm along with holiday/events grounds. And have you seen the prices that good rare breeds can sell for a ram £200(basic no paperwork) to over £200000(full hereditary and paperwork) while a bull can go 5000 up to £250000+ and once you get an established name in rare or even good meat/milk producing breeds prices seem to go crazy
Very very sad the small man getting pushed out. We had 14 farmers now 3 i used to say ay up mucker now no one talks real sad love you rich
too busy trying to manage what they have now
Nice middle lane hogging to Dublin !
Only way cavan will get sam is if you take your wife next time 😂
🤣🤣👍
Back to the Muck and Shite
Nothing like it 😅
Monaghan for Sam 🏆
i think he deserves to return home . but cavan is welcome to have a go if their good enough.
She has milk fever
Give her some calcium
@@markwilliamson1198 I did wonder what could have been the problem with the cow. Thankyou for clarifying it and also identifying the solution.
Dublin actually has a lot of good, but you would need to know what you are looking for. Book of Kells in Trinity College, the Croke Park tour, varuous museums around Kildare Street, the smallest pub in Ireland on Dawson Street and you were actually very close to Dublin Castle there at the end
😁😆😅🤣😂🙂
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇨🇮🇨🇮🙏🙏👍👍
Ireland is like what England should be perhaps they have a proper government.
As the saying goes, you get the government you deserve
