- In today's video we had Stuart from Eternit come round and look at the air flow and humidity of our current sheds. Me and Stuart have been talking for well over a year on whats the best idea going forward with the new shed and how we can improve our current one.
I know it's not the most exciting video in the world but its massively important for cow health. I really enjoy videos like this, looking at the science not just guessing!
Hope you guys enjoy it.
Smoke Bombs go off at 9:33 and 17:37
Once again a huge thank you to Stuart for agreeing to be on film with me, Really appreciate it!
He did mention that his sheets are the "Semi compressed" Sheets, Not fully compressed.

Hey Guys,
Let me know what you think about this video? It’s a bit different because there is loads of information. I personally find things like this super interesting the more and more I got in to it. Not going to make these videos every week but do we like to know the science? Or just stick to the norm?
Thanks for the feed back
Have a great weekend 😊
Already commented but thought id reply to you also. Ive got zero clue about farming, but i found this super interesting, which surprised me. I must say i love how hard you & your dad are working for the comfort of your cows.
We always need to know the science.
very interesting - well done
Very interesting. Pour a concrete pad, stick a drain in. Steel frame. Done.
Clearly not that simple. Great to hear what goes into making a good shed 👏
It’s nice for a change Tom
As a non farmer I still found this fascinating. I thought it was a case of build a big square shed to shelter the cows from wind and rain but allow methane to escape and that was it.
You are not alone sir, good, honest comment👍
Me too! I was amazed
me too. I didn't realise how much science goes in to the design of a cow shed
Bit off topic but I read something about pig sheds in the USA the other day. I get how slatted floors work etc but those guys were storing the slurry under the slatted floors / under the sheds rather than moving it out from under the slats. That can’t be good for the animals can it?
I have never set foot on a farm but found this fascinating. Hats off to the scientists and farm equipment manufacturers who have studied all this and also to the farmers who are doing their best to make their animals comfortable while making a living out of farming.
I have absolutely zero clue about farming but i found this really interesting! This surprised me.
Thats why were all here Helen, If you've not watched Tom's video's where he talks with his dad there special bits of information for everyone that won't be lost in time now.
@@rommelsaint8869 i originally started watching for the cute animals!🤣
Good to here that bud
I agree I know a little bit you could write on the back of a stamp interesting stuff
If I'm honest, I never knew there was so much to learn when thinking about putting up a new cow shed. I just thought you looked at where you wanted it and then just stuck it up.
We all have lot to learn! 👍
brilliant video. putting yourself out there isnt easy but many people will be thankful for seeing this.
Hey Tom, brilliant information from Stuart perhaps he could go around a few hospital wards with his gear. That would open some eyes I know.
Our brand new school building is either far too hot, or freezing cold I get stressed the kids get stressed, so it'll be no different for cows.
Don’t give him any ideas 💡 😂
Stuart from Eternit needs there own channel, This is fascinating.
Yes!!
He’s so over the moon on that comment 😂
Tom, i don't know much about cow sheds but Stuart seems to know what he's talking about and will probably help save you $$$$. I like his design, it seems to make more sense.
Not a farmer, but holy "smokes" this was interesting. Never ever thought there was so much science used to build a new cow shed. it all made sense, as you say Tom happy cows are healthy cows. Will watch this again. BC Canada.
"My grandfather used to say that once in your life you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, and a preacher. But every day, three times a day, you need a farmer."
Farmer was he?
Smart man!
Please go to a doctor more than once in your life.
Your Grandfather was spot on :)
@ no, just someone who was a fan of not starving to death 😂
Thank you for showing this discussion with Stuart. I think this can only be helpful for other farmers to understand the reasoning and various approaches to potential problems. Moreover, it is always good to know where things can be done better. Classic scientific tag line: Knowing is half the battle.
I think Stuart is great at working with people to help them get over their shortfalls in their current buildings and practices. That is what a good engineer should do.
Never easy to hear some of the performance facts on your existing sheds and well done for not getting too defensive. Great insight and information backed up by science, facts and figures. Measure twice cut once as they say… look forward to seeing this progress.
The amount of information needed to built a shed is phenomenal!!
When he let off that green smoke bomb off I was expecting the wicked witch of the west to appear 🤣🤣
This man is really great for taking the time to explain to all of us the logic behind all this. This is a real educational video and it’s entertaining at the same time.
In the end it probably costs the same amount to build a new shed correctly as it does to put a new shed in wrong. So glad you’re taking the time to really figure things out as best science allows us to do today. ❤️
I feel we have all been in this position. "Yeah, I am doing a great job. Everyone is happy. Everything looks good. Life is great!" :D
Then someone older comes in "Oh, this is all wrong."
"But I did this"
"You shouldn't have"
lol This is such a relatable video across all fields of people.
Absolutely true!
But in this case, the older person has the latest science.
@@brendashelonko2149 ??? Why is age a factor? Does it really matter what the age is of the person that comes up or presents the latest science? What matters is that the science comes from an individual in their area of expertise!!
It's usually years down the road that you know if you chose wisely
fields of people? Now that would be a turn-around ;)
Whenever you're going to spend a lot of money on a building, it pays to explore as many different aspects of design as possible before starting the build. Good design is everything - you do not want to be partly pleased with your new building, but regretting not doing this, or having that, particular design feature. Its the architecture equivalent of 'measure twice, cut once' carpentry; make sure to get it right before starting building. Love the smoke bombs, though.
Don't ever worry about the length of the videos. They are very interesting and today's, with Stuart, even more so. He's very knowledgeable and articulate. He explained it clearly, so clearly that I understood it!!! 😲
Tom, please carry on as you are doing. I find it all fascinating 👏👍👏👍
This might just be the most interesting and educational video I’ve seen on TH-cam 👍🏻
Very informative video. The more comfortable your cows are the better the yield in production. The less likely for disease. The numbers and the testing... Wow.... I really learned a lot from this. Air flow, Humidity, Coolness all have a decisive impact. Wow!
Fascinating. If you’re going to spend a big chunk of change you’d best spend it in the smartest way possible.
Stuart has some good points. We went for 22 degree roof pitch for better airflow, also if you use Galebreakers on sides instead of boarding it gives you more options to remove/change if needed. I will never build without gaps between buildings in the future! Helps with access and ventilation. 👍
Great video! Tom you seemed a bit overwhelmed by the science and facts from Stuart. Tom, don't be discouraged! Your love of farming will not change with modernization, it will only be blessed with productivity, profitability, and pride in providing the best possible comfort for your cows. Kudos to you for seeking out great advice and information! Stuart did a brilliant job explaining everything and is a wise man with a wealth of information to 'encourage' improvements and best practices for the well being of the cows and profitability for the farmer! He's a treasure! Tom I hope you realize that your 'first' draft plan just needs to be tweaked and is a common practice in every great design project! Can't wait to hear what comments your Dad has on the science.
Excellent video. - very informative. It’s so good that there are experts who know what they are talking about and back it up with years of experience. Well done Stuart and Eternit.
That was absolutely fascinating. You have so much to consider for the optimum health and productivity of your cows. You’re doing a great job love your videos.
I grew up on a dairy farm in the United States back in the 50s and 60s and I find this video to be absolutely fascinating with all the science and testing for light ,air flow humidity, etc. For milk production and the comfort of the cows. Our cows were pasture raised they were on the pasture for 10 to 12 hours a day they came back to the barn to be milked in the morning and evening. I can't even imagine that there was that much thought / science put in to the building of our milk parlor. Just simply very interesting and fascinating video.
Who would of thought that putting up a cow shed could be so intense. Fascinating! Your cows are going to be very lucky!
The cow barns in the US & Canada have better ventilation with curtain sides (that can be opened or closed to aid the flow of air over cows), ventilation fans & even water misting systems (not required as your cows are out in summer). Saskdutch kid channel is one example!
Tom, don’t know much about farming, but never dreamed it could be so technical!! This was interesting, but my favorite of your videos are the ones with you working directly with the cows.
Good vid Tom enjoy the weekend
please don't apologise for the length of the video -- you could talk all day and we'd be here spellbound -- fabulous information, educational, Stu is great! a lot of food for thought and to take in to consideration for such a huge investment. looking forward to more of the same. keep up the good work. (ps: the girlies look quite happy having lunch in the field)
This should be shown in every Agricultural College in the land! Excellent.
Thank you for your comment. Part of my role with Eternit is I do Collage guest lectures on farm buildings 😷
Clever guy.... was he starting to annoy you?! I can feel the tension 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha he wanted to change a lot our Stuart 😂
@@TomPembertonFarmLife You stick to your guns Tom. Remember your the one footing the bill.
@@archiecairns2731 Yeah he will be if he doesn't listen to Stuart...
He reminded me allot of a car sales man.
Coming back to this the day the posts for the beds were put in for the new shed. Quite scary how it has been 5 MONTHS since this came out and is amazing how much it has all changed and how much bigger the new shed is. Tom you are an inspiration my friend
The science of it is amazing! I can't imagine how much money that company must have spent on research and compiling data from the long life of their business.
Good choice, Tom, going with a company who knows what they're about, rather than just taking the lowest bidder. That often pays dividends you wouldn't immediately expect.
Although R.I.P. to your pocketbook. It had a good life.
really interesting, I studied fluid dynamics at college and this scenario would of made an ideal project for my finals, Stuart certainly knows his stuff.
Hello from Dorset that was absolutely fascinating thank you !!
From Canda. Absolutely fascinating, every bit of it, from the smoke bombs circulation, to the tempertures of milkers being 40* warm than dry cows. We had a small commercial greenhouse and in the coldest winter on a sunny day once the shading coat of lime had worm off the top glass, the temperature would surpass 115*. In my Province of Ontario, the agricultural slogan is FARMERS FEED CITIES. Thanks for sharing all the considerations
I used to have a boss who was a chartered surveyor he always said every building is a prototype. He used to say that you can put up a collection of identical buildings and they will all perform differently as they will all have a different microclimate.
As an engineer that was fascinating who would have thought it I’ve always thought you had plenty of air flow with the holes in your building it would be good to see when the wind blows in a different direction and or with your doors open. If on your new building your roof will have less lighting on the southern aspect can you have Solar panels that side to earn you some money?
This was a very interesting video. When the man said about noise being a stress problem for the cows? I had asked on a previous video if the loud music in the milking parlour wouldn’t stress the cows? I know all animals hate too loud noises as they get stressed and spooked.
I think your great with your animals Tom and good luck with the growth of the farm
The science behind creating new sheds is really cool and interesting. Thank you for being willing to show off how your shed is.
It’s got me thinking what air flow I have in my barn now, I do have Yorkshire boarding 3 sides with a ridge what let’s air out.
Smoke bombs were cool and everything, but I loved learning all about the other little details that make the life of a cow more comfortable too
Not a farmer but horse owner. So still a very interesting and enlightening installment. Horses spend their nights in a barn with young cattle (varying in age from just weaned until a week before due date). The barn is old but kind of effective, I think the Dutch builders didn't do a bad job back then. It has tall doors on the short ends, it's open under the roof on the long sides and the roof itself is open at the top and has a raised skylight from front to back. Animals live on either side of the corridor. Only downside is that you'll get rained on when it's really windy and raining from the rain being blown in between skylight and roof.
Doors will be closed and shutters will be placed only when it's freezing and windy. On average, wind blows from the west here most often, I assume (as all field shelters have their doorway facing east).
I love how transparent this video is, and how dedicated you are to doing the best for your cows!
Very informative, thanks for the data comparisons, seeing the science at work and how it will improve your herd and productivity is undeniable!
You're wise to take all the advice you can get. Your farm will definitely benefit.
Good advice Tammy, hopefully Tom will arrive at a workable solution. It's good to gather as much evidence as possible prior to the build.
Amazing video Tom! Really enjoy hearing the science behind the building design, and appreciate Stuart agreeing to be on camera to explain it all. These cows are going to be very well looked after with all the thought and external input being made into the new shed design!
Amazing video Tom, really appreciate how open you are in showing your sheds and potential improvements. Definitely a challenge sometimes to hear what you couldve improved!
Fascinating! Who would have thought there was so much science available. Thanks it is so interesting.
Absolutely FASCINATING!! 🤩🤩🤩
Cracking video Tom!
Fab video Tom. Really enjoyed watching my Stuart do his stuff! Looking forward to seeing it being built ☺️
Tom, thank you for sharing this!!! I adore the transparency into your dairy. Excellent work. Beautiful study on your barns. (Airflow studies make me happy, lol. I mastered getting fresh air while being stuck in small spaces with cigarette smokers.🤢)
When my uncle put in his robots he extended his shed and we changed the design of the ridge and side sheeting for ventilation. The ridge originally was just a gap and now it's a proper covered ridge, the sides are tin sheets but we spaced them out from the wall so air comes through the gap between the tin and the wall instead of through perforated sheets or timber cladding. The tin on the roof is also spaced aswell. Seems to have worked well it would be interesting though to see it with the smoke bomb to see how the air is actually moving.
I was completely fascinated by this video , not a farmer but makes complete sense to me. I want to see contented happy cows.
We do this in Montréal Canada on our roofs for our houses. Air in through the sides up out the top. It prevents roof rot , ice buildup in the winter and cools attic in summer.
Fascinating, seems you'll be improving no matter the design. Always future-proofing.
I missed this in April, too bad. It makes sense about humidity and air movement and light. Right. But the stunner for me was the heat stress in March or October. Didn't think Scotland got that warm. Unless perhaps you are in a barn with a bunch of cows. Love it. Look forward to hearing more along these lines. Thank you for sharing
This was all extremely fascinating! Wow, who knew. Loving your transparency & desire to make it better for the cows. Bravo for your vulnerability …very heart warming. Thanks!
Great information. I'm not a farmer but was fascinated on how important the barn is for the cows. How the air flow and temperature is so important
I am not a farmer. From what he seemed to stress was to get the air straight up after being pulled in from the sides. Sounds like exhaust fan air handlers on the roof would suck out humidity and control flow of air up and out. With automatic controls it would free you up from needing to fiddle with things. I kept waiting to hear you talk about that. Maybe I missed it? I love how you are sharing your process. Good animal husbandry is thinking about the animal's health conditions (mental & physical) as well as the $ profit.
Fantastic vid, just shows how times have changed, very interesting listening to stuart, well done tom 👌
That was fierce interesting Tom, that type of information is brilliant to know, even if it was over some peoples heads, least we can look back on the video and write it all down. Love to hear more about it Tom, looking forward to being on the adventure with you.
Tom before the first smoke was set off I knew the result because where I work is a slatted beef shed 66 metres long with 55 pens of 6 metres by 4 metres it can hold 550 cattle of various sizes. It is surrounded by sheds and used to have sheets missing to aid ventilation which did nothing. Next a large gap was created along the 4 ridges and sheets were moved to create gaps between the sheets but cattle still got too warm. The cure in the end was fitting a canopy over the large ridge opening helping to keep out rain and creating a vacuum. Each ridge was done a few months apart but you could feel how fresh the air was in there instantly. The final proof of the vacuum like your smoke was a dry November when the cattle came in and the automatic feeding system creates some dust which was saw blowing out and because of the dry November it settled just below the canopy on the roof but no dust on the roof at the other gap till we fitted it’s canopy.
It’s good to see that you are using expert advise on ventilation and lighting. Technology has certainly changed in the past fifty years, you might as well use it to design and build the best barn you can afford to get the best from your cows. And yes, the smoke bombs were cool too!
I'm pretty much like a vast majority of people watching this video, I know very little about farming, and what I do know I've learnt from watching Tom's video's 😅. But what is inspiring is seeing people like Stuart with huge amounts of experience sharing that knowledge with Tom, yes I know he's trying sell a product however you can tell he genuinely wants to share that knowledge with the younger farmer's like Tom. Some trade's and industries you don't get that and the older boy's shoot the young lads down and are closed book for information which is a real shame. Anyway waffle over, keep up the good work Tom keep inspiring stay motivated and keep grafting 💪
Who knew? I never was aware of any of this! Way to go Tom for making use of these experts while designing the new sheds!
Tom, I am a non farmer and this was so informative and fascinating to watch. Your videos are amazing! Thank you.
Most educational! What a good teacher he is, because he is not out to to make anyone feel bad, only to make things better for all beings involved. Excellent vid :)
Well done to you Tom. So, so many farmers will be gobsmacked at the tests done today and the productivity they could be losing. You've most probably helped 100's of farmers. Being on TH-cam is a fabulous thing when we have farmers that want to share the knowledge they have for the good of their animals. I wish I could come and give you a hug 🤗 I am so proud of you being the farmer you are. I am not a farmer at all by the way
Gasp...the amazing sum of money over time that something a little as air circulation or heat retention because of lighting and building material...AHHHH. So cool. Can't wait to see it go up. When I saw the smoke bombs, I thought we were going to see the loader tractor go up .... but that means even more to look forward too.
I know there’s a lot of science going on but I think Stuart is also a good salesman 😉 he is after all working for the company that you’re getting the work done by!
I found this very interesting.
My mind seems to always go to the science part, not that I KNOW IT, but, to seek out people who do know it.
I'm more excited now knowing that you are approaching this build with experts. Farmers know a lot because they were either very much aware of their surroundings or they were taught to pay attention to their crops or cattle etc. We just happen to have hopefully more products at our disposal to help create a healthy productive environment.
Add this video to many that you already have that should be shown to the youth in school. Farming is a business and educational.
Would love to see a before and after video with the smoke once the new shed is up to see the difference 👍😄
Hi Tom and family. I have been watching the hoof gp since the start of the year and have heard him talking about you. I can honestly say I am now addicted to your videos. Love your dad and watching what you do on a daily basis 👍🏼 keep them coming, love the toys, the drone footage. New fan for sure.
Fascinating. It never occurred to me that ventilation was so important.
Great vid Tom didn’t realise so much went into putting up a cattle shed thank you so informative 👍👍👍
What an amazing chap!
Interesting to see the science backed methods used in farm building design, and how they've changed. Good video, good smoke bombs.
I never realized how much goes into planning a new farm building! Deep breath... it will get there! You are one of 2 of my favourite videos to watch... Hoof HP😉. I always look forward to seeing them. Plus the smoke bombs were awesome . Keep up the awesome work!
Tom what a geeat video. Not a farmer but love the info. Just shows all the things a farmer needs to understand about the health of their animals. Thanks for sharing.
Always learn something new watching your videos Tom didn’t realise how much the way the shed was built effected the cows, looking forward to seeing your build also nice smoke bombs
This was really interesting. Who knew there was so much planning in putting up a cow shed. Grea video as always.
This is my favourite bit of farming the little things which add to big things, well interesting.
Fantastic video. And well explained, Tom ,
I'm not a farmer and when I saw the title and watched first few secs I thought this going to be boring but nope. Found it very interesting and learned a lot 👍
that was truly fascinating, all that science and figures can't be ignored
Well this channel has taught me that grass isn't just grass and a shed isn't just a shed.
I LOVE hearing about all this research and that all these things are considered for the welfare of the animals.
What you have been talking about was never considered by me (I'm not a farmer) so I hope fellow farmers know or think about this stuff.
So interesting 🤔 well done for posting that
I'm not a farmer either but this is loads of information. This same info could be used for lots of other building needs. Getting ready to rebuild my garden shed and I just got a whole bunch of more work added on.
This is the best when the expart give not only the figures but with the proper advice for solving problems for the best for both Farmers and animals
Bravo Tom, this video shows how far farming has come in past 50 years!!!! I was glued to the screen very intriguing and informational.
Mind blowing, how the science of airflow & light can affect the health and yield of the cows. Really interesting.👍
It’s interesting to compare old shed designs to new sheds such as the on at the farm I currently work at.
Very interesting video Tom - thank you for throwing open your doors on this one!
That was so so interesting Tom. Never knew there was so much science involved. I'm not a farmer, but was so engross. Thank you.
more people should watch video's like this you always learn something new
Stuart is a very wise fellow 👍
