Just watching the cattle shed video. I was so releaved to see the mats where the cows lay down . I didnt see them before and thought they were laying on the concrete. You are so compassionate and kind and respectful with the animals. The ladies as you say. What a joy to follow your farm and life. 😊
We have rubber mats throughout all our houses, i’d never let an animal lie on concrete. That’s just wrong! Before mats came along we used to bed them twice a day with fine saw dust. Thanks for following Karen 👍
Only just found this... going to go back and try have a look at the whole build 😀 We might be looking at doing something similar. Well done on the video
Tom Pemberton Farm Life cheers tom, myself and the kids are big fans of your channel, there’ll be more parts to this build in the comings weeks, hopefully have cattle in it for Christmas.
All good young man. Trees for shelter, I can tell which to avoid because they are a pain in the rump steak in Autumn and why. Beech trees, great growers once they get established and provide good shelter, however, the leaves are strong and come off late in the season and the beechmast (Nut like seeds) add to the mess. Sycamore, grow fast and like weeds. They offer no really good shelter in winter, the leaves are quite messy but the green slimey algae is an issue, but by far the worst issue with Sycamore is the sap. It feels like tiny little rain drops and is very sticky. Oak, too long to get going and no real shelter. Horse Chestnut, leaves come out early and drop early but really good shelter. Conkers are good for a bit of fun but it may take ten years to get them! Ash tree, grows fast, leaves come on mid term and droop off by the billion very quickly and quite quickly. Excellent logs for the fire though @20% moisture when cut fresh! Personally I would go for a Blackthorn (nice white flower display in late Spring prior to leaf breakout) and or Hawthorn Hedge with Sloe bushes mixed in. Great diversity and support for wildlife and shelter and you might even get a grant too?
@@IFarmWeFarm You are welcome young man. Just wish I had my own farm ha ha ha ha.... not that I mind working on other folks places which I do. Anyway, you know what I would do so lets see what other folk suggest. It's an interesting question you put to us all. Best regards, Jon.
Kudos for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is a great one of a kind guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin finally got astronomical success with it.?
Your shed looks great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I built an 8x10 shed for my kids in my backyard earlier this year using plans I got from *WoodBlueprints. Com* Clear directions and an accurate materials list...It was great for a novice builder like myself!

Michael Walsh no I’m going to get a foldable steel step put in instead, at least then it can be folded up and will be out of the way of tractors and tankers when not in use
Denis Murphy yes I’ll actually be using a 12ft steel girder and drive it down it2 the channel with the digger then concrete it in place, can build the pier around it then
@@IFarmWeFarm non bother I'm from meath we are mechanics we do have a couple of vintage tractor s they are on my TH-cam channel I also to model farm video and lawn mowers Restoration
Plant native irish trees started 4 bay double my self concrete bill getting scary 100 cube below ground how many cube in yours and great to see what fellow irish farmer is doin
FIAT 110-90 TURBO New Holland don’t really know yet to be honest, I made a price on the job b4 hand so there’d be no hidden surprises, I will know the final cubic meters in the next couple of weeks when I’m filing the paper work, I’ll put all that on the final video. Thanks for watching 👍
The timber you have underneath the feed barriers is a waste of time. We had them and they cracked and wore out over time. After that we put concrete blocks in and they just fell out. This summer we are putting mass concrete ones. They are the only job
Brian Daly yes sure, as long as there’s no downward drafts, opening is facing away from the main prevailing winds. Cattle do much better with plenty of ventilation.
Brewery all the pipes to the shed are buried nearly 3 feet, the only pipe that could freeze is up to the drinkers and the drinkers themselves, if that happens I use a gas torch to heat all
Nearly at 2000 subs now and no 1k sub special done 😂 Pressures on now lad! Also be careful with the roots of the trees you put in as if they grew too close to the concrete they could make it lift and crack
Doyler 1979 it’s grant spec so it should be fine, it’s actually is a lot thicker as you go in2 it. The yard at home would be of similar thickness and never cracked over the ten years it’s in, Hopefully it will hold up as good 🤞
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?

NICE BARN
Great video.
We’ve one of those barrett engineering cattle stops they’re a great job
Tidy job sir 😎
Great setup!
Farmer E Thank you, it’s getting there
Wow good looking shed
Super super job!!!!
Maurice Cahill cheers Maurice 👍

A good beach hedge or holly is good as well.

Good shed
How many cattle will you have in this shed?
Are you putting a kerb along the crush to stand on nice job
Michael Walsh no I’m going to get a foldable steel step put in instead, at least then it can be folded up and will be out of the way of tractors and tankers when not in use
IFarm WeFarm could you show us the step you intend on using sometime and where you get it?
For the block pier would you set a pole now before you pour concrete add strength to it ?
Denis Murphy yes I’ll actually be using a 12ft steel girder and drive it down it2 the channel with the digger then concrete it in place, can build the pier around it then
First video I watch was on your case tractor and subscribe d and enjoy every video since great work
Great content
Philip M100 thanks Philip I appreciate that 👌
@@IFarmWeFarm non bother I'm from meath we are mechanics we do have a couple of vintage tractor s they are on my TH-cam channel I also to model farm video and lawn mowers Restoration

@@IFarmWeFarm good man looking forward 2 that ONE building slatted houses way farming is we are mad or geniuses haha keep up good work
Careful planting trees underneath esb overhead power line. They will cut them down If they grow up towards the lines. Hedging should be fine though.
mark Corr they will never be allowed to grow that height anyhow, so that if they did fall they would not hit the shed. 👍
The timber you have underneath the feed barriers is a waste of time. We had them and they cracked and wore out over time. After that we put concrete blocks in and they just fell out. This summer we are putting mass concrete ones. They are the only job
Lad don’t weld brackets on because if thay brake you will be in bother if u go to put a normal bracket on it
What was the total investment for the whole build? And can you add links to what gear you use like the drinkers for example?
Great video lad did you get a storm
Calum Bourke thanks Calum, no storm as of yet, supposed to be a little rough later 2nite
Are open sheds warm for cattle
Brian Daly yes sure, as long as there’s no downward drafts, opening is facing away from the main prevailing winds. Cattle do much better with plenty of ventilation.
Why didn't you roof the last bay of the tank and put proper slats on it?seems a waste having a bay without a roof or slats
Chris Barrett if you check the first 2 video’s out you’ll see why, it will serve a great purpose for us and will be roofed later on
What are you going to do to stop the water from freezing?
Brewery all the pipes to the shed are buried nearly 3 feet, the only pipe that could freeze is up to the drinkers and the drinkers themselves, if that happens I use a gas torch to heat all
How many acres is your farm
You will be at 2000 before the 1000 video will be out
Should ask Farmer P, he has his own tree company
Brewery I do watch his video’s from time to time, that’s not a bad idea 👌
Nearly at 2000 subs now and no 1k sub special done 😂 Pressures on now lad! Also be careful with the roots of the trees you put in as if they grew too close to the concrete they could make it lift and crack
Thats a very good point, were looking into all our options at the minute so keep tuned and we'll see what happens
i love how easy the plans are in *WoodBlueprints. Com* to understand and the step-by-step videos they have. Makes getting material really easy
How far is this shed from the main farm ?
shane O neiil about half a mile or less Shane
We're in cavan are u from
aidan sheehy not to fare from Cavan town.
I'm not to fare from kingscourt
aidan sheehy 👍
The concrete looks a bit shallow for any slurry tankers or any heavy gear.
Doyler 1979 it’s grant spec so it should be fine, it’s actually is a lot thicker as you go in2 it. The yard at home would be of similar thickness and never cracked over the ten years it’s in, Hopefully it will hold up as good 🤞
@@IFarmWeFarm should be twice the thickness lad but good luck with it
Fir or copper beach
Darragh Brady copper beach would probably be a good choice 👍
Michael Cusack Smith
200 head for beef ?

I've been researching into constructing sheds and discovered a great resource at Adota Blueprint Pack (google it if you're interested)
