The Digger's Arrived! Time For Some Farm Improvements

The Digger has finally come so time to get into some of the bigger jobs on the farm. One of the paddocks that's going into maize next year need tidying up, some of the old drain cleanings have been sitting here for 25 years pus!!
As always thanks For Watching!!!

Hey Andrew! My hubby and I are enjoying your videos all the way from Southland. As a former Otorohangaian, it's nice to see whats up in the Waikato, and being from a dairy farming background, cool to see how you guys do things. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Hey! And Thanks much appreciated 👍

[@karlmorgan3678]

Damn, you boys look like you're getting some rain

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yeah had a little but we definitely need some more, it’s getting pretty dry again.

[@keithaspin5160]

I am enjoying your videos very much.....incredible how much your land looks like some of the farms here in England....Do you farm sheep too?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Nah no sheep farms around, with the exception of one down the road where they milk the sheep, it’s becoming bit of a trend at the moment (sheep milk).
It’s gently rolling around here so all dairy, the further south you go the country turns more steep and better suited to sheep and beef 👍

[@Luke-qb8em]

I love to see ur videos getting more and more views everytime i check good work!

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks mate, slowly growing 👍

[@digthisnz1943]

Awesome video as always my friend. Cracking tidying job, making full use of the excavator. Tree trimming, ditch digging, drainage, stump removal, and scraping the road. Did Phil the driver finish on time, or did it run into a third day. Enjoyable as ever thanks for sharing mate.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Cheers Steve, he’s been here for just longer than a week, so got lots done 👍

[@dre96324]

Great job daily work.what is the drench that you do on cows?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

It’s a mineral drench that I give the cows orally every morning 👍

[@georgekenny9820]

Love this channel, I'm just about to milk my cows 👍

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Cheers mate 🤙

[@normfergus8472]

We could do with some of your rain in Scotland

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Same here, it's getting pretty dry again! are you pretty dry over there?

[@fendty208]

What did you said at 12:46. really like your videos.

[@RichardPerfectKiwi]

What did he say at that point? - He said "Sweet" - it's slang it means "cool" or "great", we also say "sweet as", or if it's towards someone "sweet-as bro" sometimes :-)

[@jackking2626]

Hey mate how much milk do you feed ur calves cheers

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I give them about 1.5 - 2 litres twice a day. Jerseys can get the scours pretty easily, so In my opinion under feeding them is almost better for them

[@jackking2626]

@@TheOnceADayFarmer is that because of the high quality milk? would u feed a beef calf the same ammount and do you increase as they get older or stick to that how long does it take for them to reach 100kg cheers mate love ur stuff

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yeah pretty much. I’d go more with beef like 2 litres plus, but I’m no expert with beef calves.
I don’t have scales so not to sure how long it takes.
I tend to just stick to that amount and give them meal and hay ASAP, but that’s just what I do, there’s a lot of different methods out there.
Thanks jack much appreciated 👍
