- That didn't go to plan! Highlands decided to jump and break everything during our vet visit with Andy.
Are the highlands in calf? or was it a massive fail of a day?

People have to understand that you're a Farming community, yes it's hard when you name an animal and have bonded with them. Sometimes the hardest choice of letting go for the better.
May 2021 for the calving.
@@HM-0410 op q
When Ginger Warrior said "We've got 'em inside they're not going out again" that got me. I was already thinking to my self: well it's a farm the cows are either for milk or for beef, but man the suddenness was more than I expected.
It hit me too. Reality
That’s the instinct that kept him in food production and delivery over the years . 👍🏻
Lingering with a decision always makes it harder. Better to decide and move on. What other decision could he make that wouldn't eventually lead to the same conclusion? I feel for Tom and the Ging though; farming isn't easy. Especially if you care.
I can understand why they do it but what I don’t understand is why they name them. Once you name them it becomes personal.
I think that’s why it makes it harder.
This is a working farm not a petting zoo. I know all animal lovers, myself included, come here to enjoy watching the beasts as much as the people but it is what it is. Factor in the added expense of keeping these cattle and add to that the extra demands Highlands create, destructive and dangers to people and other livestock due to horns... They can't afford too many, as show animals.
Sounds like you are improving your herd by clearing out the infertile ones. It's always rough when you have to cull. It is part of the business your in. Thanks for sharing and look forward to your next video.
nice one minute! Love your videos! EDIT: I volunteered on a farm in Scotland one vacation for no reason other than I enjoyed petting the sheep, and ended up really loving herding the sheep on the ATV. Your videos remind me of that and that's why I like them :D
The Highland are so beautiful. It’s a bummer. 😢
It speaks to how well you care for your animals that you're quite disappointed about Flora and Toffee. That said, the Ginger man is right - you've got to make good business decisions, and it costs a bundle to keep a non-producing cow. Looking forward to seeing Minnie & Harriet's little Angus crosses.
The look on your face Tom said it all from the very first moment Andy said Toffee wasn't in calf. You and Ginger warrior made the right call. It's part of farming life. Looking forward to the Highland/Angus calves!
Thanks for showing this Tom. As someone who deeply appreciates the hard work farmers do, but knows very little about the practical aspects of it, this was good to see and learn about the realities of how we end up with quality food on our plates and the work farmers do to ensure that. We could all see the disappointment on your face when Andy said Toffee wasn't in calf and that reflects the man you are, because your disappointment was about more than just the lack of a future calf. It is reassuring knowing that the food we eat it is produced by people like you.
Before you let go of Toffee, the Hoof GP wants a Highland
Yeah I told him that too days ago, I hope that someone rescues them before they just end up as Toffee & Flora burgers 🍔
@@gaynorball5233 yep i agree toffee and flora burgers don’t sound too good.
What a hard job you have. It takes so much heart.
I am so obsessed with your channel. I dont know why but I find your videos so satisfying. IT LOOKS SO EASY !!!!
ha, ha, easy is the LAST thing being a dairy farmer is. That's why you don't see dairy farmers sitting around at the sale barn watching the sale, drinking coffee.
I love your comment!
Sad to hear about Flora and Toffee - however that is life, and honestly it is quite a fair end. They're costing money and they have to give back somehow.
Its because we gave them names thats why its sad. The beef cows nobody is bothered apart from vegetarians. Hope the baby calfs next year are not named.
You shouldn’t be giving them names n getting emotionally attached to an animal . It is a farm not a petting zoo 🤩😜😎
They going to be in yur tummy
@@ghostrider7688 with respect I don’t agree. Compassion and love are never misplaced. Just a little harder on the heart is all. 👍
And I am sure they are slaughtered as humanely as possible. Knowing that does give some comfort.
I sensed a lump in Tom's throat & a tear in his eye when Dad was saying they will have to go, shows the passion, love & care Tom has for his animals.
Did you make a Climbing frame for that cow 😂
you can see why the big farms that hold their own bulls do a full health and foot check 3 months before they go in with the cows - its is a shame the girls are not all in calf but this is the 2nd time for the youngest 2 and so they have to go - Highland meat as a specialty item for Christmas maybe limited stock and people can pre order - I hope you are thinking about getting in 10-20 of the milk cows in that have been in with Neptune as if they are also only 50% breed you are going to need another bull and quickly
Maybe a bit early to write off Neptune just yet. These 2 heifers weere barren with the highland bull too..
The up and downs of farming but youv got to new ones on the way tom so thats pritty good bud ok anothere lovely vid all the best fro brit man in austrailia all be safe out there
Just a thought, if Neptune had a bad foot, and he isn't on top form, maybe he only got the older two because they're experienced and are happy to stand still. Where as a the younger two, who have never been bred might not be so patient, especially an injured bull. Just a thought.
Tom share your pain but your Dad, as all Dads, are usually right new life is just around the corner.
I appreciate how honest you are in your channel about the realities of farming. People ned to know how the world really works
How can a vet look so freaking hot, standing there leaning against a rail with a POOP-covered arm propped on his hip?!
Premium Genetics and personal perceptions.
This is one of my favourite TP videos. Why? Because it highlights the bond and emotion good framers have with their animals. You could see instantly what a negative result on the PD meant to Tom P by the look on his face when he received the bad news. Hard decisions are made on the farm on a daily basis, if the farm doesn't at the least break even at best turn a profit a farm doesn't function. Farming is tough! Farmers are caring, nurturing and hard working people. They want nothing but the best for their animals, yet the harsh reality is it's a business, and The Ginger Guy with the Moustache has accepted this lesson a long time ago. I felt for you Tom when you didn't get the desired result. Chin up. The highs and lows of farming with livestock.
So sorry to hear about Flora & especially Toffee, they will be missed.. but 50% is better than none & you are great people and did you best for them!
My predictions are Minnie April 14th & Harriet April 18th
Really the only sensible decision you could have made. Great video, shows how you care but these are also not pets for pleasure.
It's a business, I get it but darn it!! They're so cute!!!
😀😊☺☺☺☺😴😴😴😴😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😑😑😑😑😧😧😧😧👍👎👌✊✌✋👊☝👇👆👈👉👋👏👐🐼🐧🐺🐃🐂🐇🐢🐹🐭🐤
Love Ur videos Tom u should put the bull back in with the 2 that are not in calf and see if they get in calf thhis time
Good video Tom. You can't keep them all. Look forward to the new not-so-little additions next year. My guess is harriet 19th, mini 13th April 2021
Love the Highlands and a tough decision had to be made...so sad
When will they be in the shop.. Would love to take home some of it and try it
Sorry to hear they aren’t in calf Tom! We all see how much hard work you put into the farm, was gutted for you. Your dad is right though, if they aren’t giving back to the farm they need to go. Would love to see a video of them being prepped for the store and some videos of how the store runs. Local produce is best!
My prediction is Minnie 11th April
And Harriet 16th April Tom hope you are writing these down hahah great video yet again
I can't always understand everything you say but I enjoyed your video. Growing up all I wanted in life were children and a farm.
Hi ya! Love your channel so much..it's real reality..lol. I am SUBSCRIBED AND I ALWAYS HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON 😀
I'd love some Highland meat but you're to far away. Are you able to get the horns/ skull back and cleaned. I'd think they would sell well as a mounted set of horns.
Those highlands are so nice looking. I especially like them when they are calves.
When the cow was on the gate my face was 😳😂
Did you ever consider AI for the open highlanders? More of a guarantee of success. Are you sure it’s not the bull? Or the girls are still a bit young ?
👍😁loved that video
I think Harriet 13th April 2021 and Minnie the 4th May 2021 also great video Tom at the end of the day your farm is a business so the decision needs to suit the farm and it’s finances
My predictions are Harriet 12th April, Minnie 16th April.
you heard tom say them dates as well,my guess,13/15th april
@@huggy1huggy191 my other half was watching the video I walked in on the bit where he said put dates in comments below.
Farming can be difficult but the positives are always better
Will have them 2 down here in Essex on are ranch as pets
Highland beef hard to beat in taste one of the best out there and not easy to get your hands on it to be honest
Totally understand the hesitation, but it is what it is about, they either produce calves or they produce meat. It is great you have the outlet for the meat. Respect for the loving and caring that goes into raising your animals.
I agree with your dad, and think you knew that too before you asked. Farming life,
He stated that he brought his dad in to make the decision he already knew the answer.
I no it must be hard for you Tom but it’s all part of life keep your head up
LOL,LOL FLUFFY TOM..TOO FUNNY 🐴
HELLO from Charlotte NC 😊 April 16th 👍 Good luck 😊 It won't happen every time 😉 🤩
Good video Tom, sorry about the sad news 👎
Can you do a farm to shop sort of thing at some point where you show how they are turned into beef, I think it would be really interesting to see as many people, including me, do not know exactly how it works???
I am so sorry Tom that was hard . I can see how upsetting that was for you.
My dates are 14th for Harriet and 27th for Minnie .
Perhaps the Ging as terrific as he is, has a few friends in the local pub. Love the music, hope it all goes well for you. If it looks as though I covet the shirt off your back, I sure do. Let us know when TP Merch is available.
I love the Gingas attitude!!! He loves his animals. But is still running a buziness. He realizes that at a certain point in time. You have to do the right thing. And he isn't afraid of offending us youtubers that view the videos like you were Tom.
Keep doing what your doing. Remember your a farmer first and were here to watch. We don't pay the bills at the farm or have our family names on the door. I ain't going no where. I honestly wish you could do a full "butchering" video. (After the initial slaughter. I'd love to see the butcher doing his thing.
0:04 lol that was crazy
What dose the highland neat tast like like
That hivis jacket is... low vis! :-D
Cant wait for your farm come on farm sim just seen it cant wait play on your farm as im from wigan and your only up the road
My calving date for Harriet is 24
And minie 26
Th
I love it - the ginger guy with the moo-stache calls it as it is - just get rid Tom - no dont question it - ginge wins every time!
You guys need to get a tunnel dug under that bloody road for the traffic to cross safely! So sorry about the two Highlands but you’ve been more than fair in allowing them time to get in calf, the Ginger Warrior is right, time for them to go... unless anyone buys them for pets? 😂
Your dad is right ✅
They will make great beef.
Great video 📹
Tough luck Tom, wise words from Andy again, but on a brighter note, Harriet April 14 and Minnie April18:):)
Pops is right! ♡
Any reason you don't trim the Horns ?
I'd say the Hariot 11th and the other one the 14th
still not a bad day tom is there any way to get the bull check
Important!!
Tom, or anyone. Hi I live opposite a feild with sheep in it. It's been normal until very recently. Currently a lot of the sheep are limping pretty bad and if they were human I'd say they were in immense pain. Have you got any suggestions? For context I live in Cumbria so I guess farming 'rules' are the same in Lancashire?? Any advice would be great
Call the Veterinary Office please!
@@MyLove-qi6lg is that an English thing? Do you mean the RSPCA? If so I tried but due to covid they are shut. Any other suggestions
@@samueltwaites5517 well if they’re closed you should call the police.
Thank you for caring about those animals!
I wish you all the best!
Blessings!
With the bull lameness issue, usually an issue with the fertility will have an impact around 6 weeks after the initial problem, so when you think he has recovered and is fine and dandy, really his fertility will be delayed. See it quite often on stud
So sad to hear. I couldn't be a farmer I would be broke with a field full broken cows.........
Get em in the farm shop
Unfortunately, that's the way it goes sometimes Tom. At least they're still able to be finished and put through the shop.
I think you said yourself that you didn't want the herd to increase, in one of your other videos.
I would love to see a butchery video, I know it can be distressing but if you put a big warning before a video I think it would be very interesting as someone who has never seen anything like that
They have butcher videos already on the Tube. Maybe Tom doesnt want to do that.

I've found what your looking for. Ag dispenser will help u with your saw dust
do you not use stickers on their backs to see if there is any activity I used these before I retired and found them great
Hey Tom!
My predictions for Harriet & Minnie
Harriet- 16.04.21
Minnie - 22.04.21
Sad news for Toffee & Flora, love your vids!
Was it Neptune that broke his tail? How's he doing now? Did you have to cut his tail off or did he regain movement in it?
We have all seen how the cows have been raised and taken care of. You should make a video of the cows butchering and processing......full cycle
Chin up mate, honest video there on the truth of farming 👍🏻 can see how gutted you are
825th! GOOD EVENING TOM, LUKE, AND THE GINGER GUY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA 😊
Sorry Tom and Ginger Warrior that things didn't go as planned. Keep your eyes on the prize. Thanks for the vid.
Im thinking Harriet April 15th and the other the 17th (sorry I missed her name). Im sorry for Toffee and Flora, I worked in farming as well. It can be hard because you can't keep them all as pets. 🥺❤
Really nice shirt 👌🏻
I was wondering. Why breed an angus bull on the highlanders?
The only time I think I've ever seen Tom down is when the Highlands aren't in calf. Sorry Tom!
My front hat the same broken and it was cookbook he bull
13 April and 23 may ?? Possibly 😂😂
Yes nice work on the vids
People got understand that it takes time
Good tom
24 of April. I really want the tp merch. I’m going working on my dads friends farm. And the merch would be perfect to wear
I could see you were cut over that news Tom, it was a hard decision I bet but it was the right one.
I know you guys are mostly a milk production and I'm more familiar with beef cow-calf operations, but don't you think Neptune might not be enough for the amount of cows you have? Maybe two bulls are better than one?
Tell us what you think on your next video!
Good quality Highland beef. What dreams are made of. Do you do meatbox delivery per chance fine sir?
I think the 16 of April next year Tom my birthday
Can you fertility check the two born at your farm? Is it possible genetic influence from their sire is affecting their fertility?
6 Th April 8 th April 12th April I think love watching your videos Tom
I'm going for the 17th and 19th. Really hope its the 19th my Birthday day. On a different note, on a previous video you had a cut face from playing rugby, which team do you play rugby for? Do you play Union or League? My apologies if you have been asked those questions 1,000,000 times, I'm new to your channel.
April 13 to the 16th fo April The cows will cal.I like you videos
GP was thinking about getting a highland or 2.
Nuff said by other commentaters re the Highlight cows. I'm wondering if you do your own butchery there on the farm?
Farming thats what its all about,
