"Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"... ancient cow proverb 😂
Horses love that proverb also!
The paddock system is the way forward "Guy with the Ginger Moooostache" , the Grasstec lads will set you up right. They won't let you down and you and the land will see the benefits 🤞🏼🍀🇮🇪
Get a pipe bracket on the riser near the top of the tank. The wobble on the pipe when the pump starts will eventually weaken it near the bottom, and then when it breaks, you'll literally be in the s@#t
huiokpb
You know you're getting older when your body says, is it really worth the pain and you start listening 😊
Don't knock your organisational skills, I can't imagine how complex it must be to build a new parlour, while still having to stay on top of every other job on the farm, and do it as well as you do.
So glad you wore eye protection!!
😮wow! That's a full slurry tank for sure. Maybe call a neighbor to see If they could use a few loads until you're ready to put it on your field's? Just to get it down a bit.
Glad to see the cow's back out on grass again. 👍😊
Tom, push on with the paddocks, your grass knowledge will imptove vastly and your cows will thank you for it, itll cut down your concentrate costs and youll get even better solid production
Tom I’m so impressed with your farm. Since watching you on TH-cam, I have the greatest respect for FARMERS.
Our Tuesday dose of AWESOMENESS TOM!
Love seeing the focus on grazing. Paddocks are definitely the way to go over strip grazing. Getting the cows off a piece right away makes a HUGE difference in terms of getting regrowth going. I have to say an area where your dad, for all his deep knowledge, has perhaps not kept up with recent innovations.
Great Tuesday video to have back. Always great to see happy cows jumping in the fields and having fun. Glad you got a little bit of a break welcome back. Everyone have a great week. Be well be you
WoW that tank is going to overflow anytime now
I hope you enjoyed your small break in the sunny Spain, you definitely deserved some time off.
It's great seeing the girls out on grass and by the looks of that storage tank you got them out before you had an overflow 🤣 Lots of spreading videos to come and grass cutting - I can't wait and all on top of all the new buildings, another brilliant summer to look forward to.
Sending love to you, Joanna and all the team xxxx
That pipe needs a support on it, when the pump starts it bends it backwards🤔
One step at a time! The regular viewers understand that the parlour is top priority and absolutely needed more then the paddock grazing. You will get there!
Best way to eat a cake is one bite at a time!
Love the paddock idea. Can’t wait to see how it works out.
So pleased to have met you In Benidorm Tom, hope you had a good break. I spent a whole day recovering when I got back, so respect to you for getting up and making this video the day after 😂. All the best.
Strip grasing sounds to me like paddock grasing with extra steps (like putting fence up and down) 🙂
It's good exercise and let's more ground rest for longer to ensure the best grass growth and in wet weather preventing pugging.
Strip grazing is more efficient and it keeps the gut parasites down.
Fair play to Tom for standing up to his dad on the grazing issue🙄
I love the way you can just go and stroke a coo as she lays down cudding 😊
Paddock grazing RULES! We did it over 50 years ago on 60 acres. We had a creek running along one side of that field and we strip grazed running perpendicular to that water so we didn't have that problem. We divided the field in 3 using an electric fence - one wire on re-bar 'posts' and grazed - I think we had about 20 cows with calves and another herd of 10 or so Angus with calves that belonged to a neighbour. We grazed for 2 weeks on 20 acres and then moved them onto the next 20 acres for two weeks and the next 20 acres after that for 2 weeks. We then moved them back to the first 20 acres that had had a month of recovery and started over again. We probably could have grazed more, and more intensely on 10 acre segments and giving it a longer recovery period as a result. It was an experiment on a field that we had a choice of taking a second cut of hay bales or renting it for grazing. Getting a second hay crop is risky as the weather starts to turn and often gets rained on and as we already had enough and more hay in the barn...
Fields, cows and slurry ..perfect video 😂 Can't wait for the grass cutting and silage videos coming up 💪🏼
Thanks Antony ☺️
@@TomPembertonFarmLife Get er Cut Tom. Next up but a 2nd hand Chopper n do it all urself 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you are wearing your safety glasses.
Great job Tom. Can’t wait to see the paddocks. It doesn’t have to be expensive. One strand of electric wire and stakes every 12 feet makes it cheap. Mains fencer In the shed closest to the paddocks and hook your reels to it. Water troughs in the middle of each wire that will serve 2 paddocks and lay the pipe on the surface of the ground along the wires. Doesn’t have to be buried. Makes it cheaper again. Get that slurry spread on the paddock the cows just came off. Will shoot up after it. 🌱🌱
I love your fence that you put up
Never ending challenges. Best ways to tackle them and do them just like you are take care, but do get some rest. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks for all your shows, I am hope disabled. My Grandfather was a farmer spent summers there.. Watching you all brings back some really good memories.
We always used to take a screwdriver to test the fence. Lay the rod on the wire close to the fence pole and bring it in until it sparks. If it doesn’t spark you know it’s not working. Heck of a lot easier on the hands.
Benidorm - the sun, beer, ladies, beer, food, party central and then the awful truth - "you have to go home". But, there is always next year!
Love the cows faces and thanks for sharing the sound of a solid bite.
Good video tom. U deserve a big award
I've never seen so much cow poo! Hope you get some spread soon. The field of grass are beautiful and lush. It's going to make some delicious milk!
Love seeing the paths made as the cows get to the new field.
My uncle used to fish in there it's called longwood if I remember used to love going with him.
Thank you for the wonderful video
"Me & Luke" are back! :))
That is a LOT of slurry! Thanks for sharing!
Love your gallagher kit straight from hamilton, New Zealand 👌
As per Tom another banger ❤
Hi I was an Electrician and was taught to touch cables with the back of my hand so that I could not grab it involuntarily as your hand would close around the able I’ve seen lots of farmers touch it with an open hand but instead of grabbing it while on if using the back of your hand you tend to be pushed away .
Another great video Tom 👍👍👍
Good to see the cows out. Man do you have lots of slurry!
Always enjoy the catch up on what's happening on the farm after you been gone a few days Tom...I did notice the bucket on the Manitou can use some welding TLC ❤️...Don't want anyone getting hurt and good practice for you 🤣🤣
Thanks!
Put a piece of timber under the battery for more power and so the battery doesn’t get wet
Great 👍 video 🐄🐄🐄🐄
Another banging video Tom. 25+ year's on farm's but still enjoy every video mate keep up good work 💪👊
Thanks Gareth ☺️
Someone needs to teach tom the easy way to set up break fences haha by the time he put all them standards out I would off been done
Beni is awesome bud 👌🏻
Strip grazing using Gallagher systems is standard in NZ, perhaps because it was invented and is manufactured here😊
using a telehander to go fencing the slowest heaviest machine on a soft field
Tom, forget laddish resort holidays and do a nice city break, visiting museums, art galleries, parks and lovely restaurants. Rome, Berlin, New York, Amsterdam… the list is endless.
Great video tom. You should have fence tester with falt finder. It gives you a digital reading arow tells you where the falt is. I got one 20 years ago best thing to have on you any time
Tom, We don't want the mower smashed again this year so toke a few of those pigtail stakes to the silage field and mark where the manholes are/
Though that was the slurry separator in the back ground, can’t wait to see that working
good morning
Brilliant video. Thanks Tom.
You deserve all the success you are getting 🎉
Good video Tom
Let’s go it’s finally going in last minute of the code hype.
What a tease, of the cow eating the grass. I’ve been asking for a video like that for years. Just a video of the cows being the main feature, eating interacting and getting to know the herd better. Take your pick, but it would be a great video, no matter how you go, asmr or just a meet and greet of the special cows in the herd
If you want to keep strip grazing fence tumbles or a razor grazer are handy
Electric fence line looks like you’ve had a heavy weekend🤣
Hi Tom, what great improvements you have made so far. It is coming together. How are the solar panels working for you, so far? I hope you and your dad get it just the way you planned it. Thanks for sharing your very hard lives with us. I watch every video and have watched your channel for a very long time, I just rarely post.Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤❤❤
Mate I really enjoy listening to how you speak about your farm its a good idea for the padocks give the grass time to grow back 👍
Adaptive paddock grazing is the system to gain intakes and production, if you move wire/paddock once a day, do it when sun is at peak so your Brix levels are maxed out, your cows and eventually your checkbook will thank you!
Never heard of this. Can you explain or send a link?
I’m always amazed how the electric fence works, very clever bit of kit
you need a Polaris UTV so you don't need to dive that heavy equip in the field
Full ful!
Great vid Tom your fields look lush. Our horse field is barron been so wet and only just starting to grow again. Thinking of having soil tests to see if the ground is lacking in anything.
Guessing the ging has never been to a paddock grazing farm? Definitely the way to go. À lot less fencing to do and they will be shorter and possibly straighter 😂. If Luke knows the system DELIGATE
Always in the s!!t and only the depth varies....
Will always get bad growth near a tree line or woods as the tree shade the grass from the sun and they suck all the moisture out the ground so the grass will suffer from lack of water even during the wetter seasons
all ways good tom all the best mick up north
Watched your channel for many years. If the pit lids are open, put some temporary barriers around to mitigate against a potential accident and make it safe.
Tried but stopped the video to look at the background 0:18. Tom glad you got out for a time to try and relax, even though it was tough the next morning. You have so much going on, your head must just spin in circles. Plus you are still dealing with all the day to day farming issues. Glad you have your Dad, Luke and maybe Heidi helping out. Take care of yourself, easy to say, hard to do with so much going on.
Before we moved from the Netherlands to Nova Scotia, Canada I did strip grazing. Every day a fresh patch. Worked amazing. It is more work though. And once it stands, you're good for the rest of summer
18:15 great content again
Tom's wearing his safety googles! :D
You need a bigger boat for your tank. Love the rotating fields.
Thanks for sharing
Hi parler is coming along see you got a wall up overall great video that brush will be great when it’s summer for cleaning the farm up and all the “new” concrete and the tank needs to be emptied
Hi Tom, has your slurry store ever overflowed.
Great video Sir
Great video Tom I spied a bit of block work gone up in the new parlour. Keep up with the great videos 👏👏👍👍
Amazing video Tom. Can’t wait for the next video
Have you thought of putting a permanent live up the track with a mains energizer in the shed no mucking about with solar ones and easier to get them from the field
Great video glad ur ok from getting shocked
Those small units can be a bit hit and miss get a solar unit with a car battery back up
Hi Tom.
Not a good Idea to roll paddock after grazing. Compacts the soil.
Look it up. We used to do the same and stopped.
Great videos.
Thanks

Dairy farmer in Monaghan
I worked on a 400 acre dairy farm about about 25 years ago we had a mains electricity fencer round most of the fields. It was fantastic for sectioning up the fields into grazing paddocks using horse electric fencing rope. Just used to clip to the main electric fence. Mind it had a hell of a kick! They only touched it once!
Tom as i drive up and down the country, i have noticed more farmers fencing their cows off like you have just done.
love your channel
Thank you ☺️
You will be able to milk far, far more cows on much less land with the paddock system Tom, we've had them for 50 years now, I was just 18 and couldn't wait to get them. My Dad was the same as Ginger at the time. He couldn't believe how great they worked.
Great video Tom
Loving your channel from over here in NZ Tom, always gives me a sense of Kiwi pride seeing Gallagher and Strainrite products turning up different corners of the world. I actually came across an Irish product a few months ago at the local farm supply shop that has made checking hot wires so much better, called a Boundary Blade. Has a built-in volt meter and fold-out blade like a regular knife with a few slots for turning smaller nuts and bolts.
Not affiliated in any way (I'm just a hobby farmer living vicariously) but thought you might want to chase one down to save having to zap yourself every time you need to check a fence.
Sorry to be contrarian but Gallagher have made poorly designed products for a long time….and probably made a fortune off it. Cannot believe there’s so little competition that their poor products are tolerated. Examples you say? Pigtail posts that blend in with the grass(fluorescent anyone?). Gap handles that come apart(metal hook thing falls out of its housing…even when brand new), we also have had 50 ish reels to install temporary fences. All invariably fell apart or the integral and critical plastic pieces broke(hook part, peg to lock the reel). Disaster of a company.
Whoops, almost forgot one…..the ultimate tool(it remotely pauses the fence so you can repair, restarts it and in theory gives a power reading. Costs €400. The most unintuitive piece of kit I’ve seen in a while. Three “dairy farmers” can’t figure out when it’s on, what it’s doing or what the symbols and buttons represent. couldn’t make this stuff up….not about us haha, just horribly designed
Morning Tom
I use same gallagher units absolut spot on. A tips IF they not working open them up plug out The cabels to batterhy and in agin a coupel seconds later. Then they will start. Great work tom we are going test out the to this year to let cows grace a bit of a field and doing small part insteed of whole field in one go. Have a great day tom.
Our best soil grass, ie good levels across the bored, had grown the least. It's just been to wet. The lesser quality soils have grown massively. It's always strange isn't it you expect the good ground to shoot up
Happy Days! New video
