Check other farmers to see if they know where to get one or if they know someone that has one on sale. Very good video. How many acres do you have and how many fields do you plant and what kind of cattle do you have and do you milk cows
We’re farming pretty much 135 acres, half grass and have with crops, we sow barley, maize, salad leaves, triticale, forage rye and fodder beet in rotation through the whole farm so all our grass is no older than 5 years. All our cattle are for beef not for milking and our cattle are a French breed called Parthenaise. We also have 100 ewes which are not milked.
I’m a retired farmer don’t live on farm sold my half to my brother he has it now I’m from Indiana lived here all my life my hobbies are making fudge , rock hard candy different flavors , noodle maker , dumplin maker and cook plus some house work flower gardens a little hot bed garden in boxes an fishing and camping. I just love watching all you farmers everyone , I seen so far do all different things . You got agricultural seeds and fertilizer farmers , dairy farmers, beef, and pig farms , vegetable farmer , dairy sheep and goat farms , horse farms. Some got hills and hollers , flat lands , sandy lands , clay lands .Some have no electric heat with wood or off the grid farmers solar panels some have windmills to have electric. But just love watching all of them it brings back quit a lot of memories for me .
The pedigree Parthenaise cattle are sold to other breeders, mainly bulls and any other cattle are kept or sent to be slaughtered. The ewes have there lambs in April and we keep 20 ewe lambs as replacements to allow us keep a relatively young flock and the rest of the lambs are slaughtered. We rarely sell any sheep to other farms, mainly just sell sheep to the factory to be slaughtered👍🏻
Currently most of our cows are finished rearing their calves as we calf mostly in the spring so the calves are old enough to be eating mainly silage and rolled barley.
@gadgetfitzgerald5749 At the minute they are but the closer they get to calving the less beet they’ll get and they’ll be changed onto haylage instead of silage.
There's a small tub feeder, 3 PT hitch mounted. Seen on donedeal a while back. Think there's an agent up north.
Sounds like an interesting piece of kit, may have a look at one. Thanks👍🏻
@@wicklowfarmlife I think the brand was VDW or some like that.
Thanks 👍🏻
