Cracking video Rich, cows are looking in great nick. Good set up you run. Love the way you didn’t flinch when starting up the scrapper tractor when it was already on!! 😂😂

[@stephenthomson7299]

Great video as always, like seeing the goings on on a farm. Of all the tractors you have the wee Ford is my favourite

[@tristangibbs2351]

Also I know what you mean about the milk dropping the autumn seems hard to get even autumn Calvert’s to milk post Christmas it always seems to improve somehow even with the same ration!

Brilliant video rich fine sheds

[@johnearle6667]

Great video and good setup , I Love cross breed cows they have nice temperament

[@tristangibbs2351]

Bent pto shaft on that strawchopper. Feel the pain with no rear wiper bought a tractor without 1 can’t believe how much I miss it especially straw chopping got to open the window as soon as some dust gets on there

Hello rich good content mate.take care.

[@tommawle8896]

Is Emma your missus and jack your son? Awesome operation you got going on. Great video’s.

[@milkingwithrich]

Yes they are

[@craigwinter5942]

Great video rich me and my brother have just started up a dairy farm currently milking 30 be up to 50 by the new year, how do you get on with cell counts on the straw loose yards?

[@milkingwithrich]

Can be hard work especially when calving and wet weather.

[@rancher4911]

Drop a single calf hutch over the gene to keep off moisture when not in use really enjoy ur videos

[@milkingwithrich]

Thanks 👍

[@davidgivert1608]

Rich what is the difference to a normal plate cooler and ice plate cooler.... How does the ice plate cooler work

[@milkingwithrich]

An ice plate cooler takes the milk down a lot cooler abut 4c. A regular cooler will take it to tape water temperature about 6c

[@swfarmer9591]

I’m guessing the weight of the bale in the strawchopper lifted the straw chopper off the hitch?🤷‍♂️

[@milkingwithrich]

Ah no. Bent shaft

[@dykehead1]

[@milkingwithrich]
