I worked in auto repair and have had used motor oil dumped on me from my chest down, and in restaurants and had used cooking oil splashed on me. Never hot oil. I don't think would ever feel clean again, after a day cleaning animal stalls like that even one day, not even getting it dumped on me. You who do that are a special kind of breed, and I love you for it, because I love what comes from what you do.
The black & white calf has a beautiful face doesn't she Don't worry about the tiny bit of crackles, it was hardly noticeable and I as 1,000's of others appreciate you videoing your life on the farm
Loved all the little ones running around all over the place. You have great patience with them even on a busy stressful day. The animals touch our hearts,
I do not know your farm layout but can you put the calves where you temp parlor was from side to side and put viewing area above with see thru spots in floor so they can see the calves?????
i know you want a viewing area in the area where the bale is, but i cant help thinking that space may be better used as a new bigger calf unit/ area, few fences to separate them from the main unit and new pens installed ,
Maybe you should get the little loader for the scraper tractor …might be useful? The ginger warrior loves a loader tractor! Have you water filled the tyres yet?
If you do go making a new calf barn, might want to look for hinged stall walls and vertical members that can be sun up out of the way or removed to make mucking out the barn easier.
The calves are just so sweet. Great job of cleaning out the building. Can you not have fans going? just to move some air around? On the ceiling not on the floor for obvious reasons. Xx
Great video as always Tom. God the need for a modern purpose built calf shed is huge. Your old one served it's time but is so labour intensive and with the volume you put through it ; it's amazing you manage to keep viruses and diseases at bay. It's an eye opener for some people the amount of work that is involved.
Lovely to see the young calves and hopefully you can replace the calf building in the near future with ease of cleaning a consideration. Please could you go with the milk to the bottling plant and then to doorstep so we can see the whole process from cow to step? ❤❤❤
Enjoyed watching you wrestle the calves as you tried to get them into the freshly bedded pens just goes to show how hard you work while producing these videos.
more milk parlour we waited such a long time for completion and only 1 video really interested to see it working and the technology behind it, how all the little bits you showed during the build are coming together
I feel the calf barn will be the next major project, Tom seems to be done with the existing building. Hopefully, the next building will be designed for easier access with the tractor less forking 😂
Well if you are going to look at maize you might as well look at other crops for comparison, for example rye or triticale as both can be planted in the fall and over winter providing fodder in the spring or if you don't need the fodder (depending on the year) can be used as a straw/grain crop. I know 10th Generation Dairyman uses triticale as a fodder crop and he has some videos on it.
Thank you for the video today and for keeping us updated. It was a great Sunday video to see your father at home feeling better making sure that you’re using proper English. Great work on the calf building. Glad Luke gets to take a week off even though that means tons more work for you I’m sure when he gets back he’ll be happy to be in the new parlor and I have to be on the Bailor. Everyone have a happy week and make sure to smile when you see happy cows. Be well Be you.
The last few year we have watched the farm go through an amazing transformation. A new calf building in a couple of years and it will look like a completely different farm!
You could use a sheep gate(or two) to guide the calves into the pens when swapping them around, they're light and easy shift... they would stop them running past the pen.. and save Tom the laps up and down the shed 😅 super video as always!
thanks for sharing, what a hard job ya'll have, and tell Ginger he is supposed to take it easy, picking up and throwing hay and wrestling caves is not something you do after you get out of surgery
My son has requested: Video showing the milking, showing all of your tractors and implements and what they are used for. Things you do on the farm to prepare for winter. Favourite cows/animals and why 🥰
Hi Tom, Ginge & luke Firstly hope your dad is getting better every day. Tom you look tired, I hope you're able to slow down In body & mind soon. You all work so incredibly hard to put food in our bellies and most people don't even think about the people working day and night behind the scenes putting food in our mouths. Thank you to all farmers 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
How manic is your day!!!! Your mum should keep a tighter rein on the Ginger Ninja. He shouldn't be lugging those bales around. Don't fret about the sound quality Tom our biggest problem is keeping up with you! Take care.
We loved this video the animals look amazing great to see your dad back on his feet and you both working together keep the videos coming and Happy Farming. Ps we see Joe’s posts she’s looking amazing send her our love xx
Hey Tom, many moons ago we used to put pallets under the calves and put the straw on top of them. Kept the bedding a lot drier once the water was able to drain away.
Tom, when cleaning the stalls and after removing all the bedding you should try and using a leaf blower!…..this way you can get rid of all the spiders and their nests, and it would look a lot cleaner….just a suggestion from a fan!
Im not sure of supply in the UK but in Australia a lot of farmers use a deep bedding of woodchips for their calves. We certainly found it to be the best bedding 😊
QUESTIONS: 1. Where do you get your mud? 2. How often do you send your cows to the groomers? 3. Your parlour just does plain milk, so are the facilities for chocolate, strawberry and banana somewhere else? 4. When you do farm visits, are there biscuits, and if so, what KIND of biscuits are there? All the best Tom. I really hope this farming thing catches on!
You definitely need a new calf shed next year and one that can be easily taken down for cleaning out But I'm sure that plan is already hatching That tractor and new scraper is a beast it handled that mucking out no bother Maize on your wet land bad idea 😅
Good to see your dad out there being able to work now as long as he doesn’t overdo. And the calf shed I agree with you it’s too dark, and it needs to be taken care of comfortably for those beautiful calves. You’ve got some nice looking ones. I guess down the road you’ll be considering a new calf barn which will be really a beautiful addition. Thanks Tom for letting us take over your shoulder.
That was fun watching the calves jump and tun and play so awesome . Thanks Tom and Warrior. How our the Highland cows and calves doing don’t get to see much of them.
Talk about a workout for the day! You got one Tom! In the NEXT calf building, design it so that the mucking out can be done by machine. Saskdutch Kid has a nearly ideal set up if you ask me.
Ha, ha, ha!! Hot and humid! It's 85 F in central Florida. It is not as humid as in June, July, and August now, but mildew, mold and fungus are all familiar here, because of our humidity. I know that you saw the FAB three yesterday. So much fun. Hope that you have an opportunity to visit with Funky Farmer, Farmer P at some time.
Tom, I know you don’t want to take on another project. I know the next one likely to be the calf shed. Have you considered shipping containers as a stopgap till you get round to doing it and having more time with Jo and the bambino. I’m sure wearing could help cutting or bending the fronts up and welding gate brackets inside to make bigger or smaller pens. You could open the two doors reverse the tractor in and clean it all out in one go.
Loved the video, even with crackling audio, it happens. Great seeinv your dad busy busy. Calves are looking awesome. I don't know what it us about Holstein's, but they seem to be the most fragile breed out there. Drives me nuts. I prefer jersey's. 😊
I do agree on that dark brown and white babbie doing the stretch will be a looker! Can we name her Cookies and keep up with her? ❤
Yeah love a Tom pemberton video, great start to the weekend.
It is nice to see the Ginger Warrior out and about after his hospitalization.
I worked in auto repair and have had used motor oil dumped on me from my chest down, and in restaurants and had used cooking oil splashed on me. Never hot oil. I don't think would ever feel clean again, after a day cleaning animal stalls like that even one day, not even getting it dumped on me. You who do that are a special kind of breed, and I love you for it, because I love what comes from what you do.
I want to see an update on the Highland babies, like "Oilver"
The black & white calf has a beautiful face doesn't she
Don't worry about the tiny bit of crackles, it was hardly noticeable and I as 1,000's of others appreciate you videoing your life on the farm
Finally got rid of the B275 ?
Loved all the little ones running around all over the place. You have great patience with them even on a busy stressful day. The animals touch our hearts,
Great content Tom, the channel is booming by the looks atm - 110k views in a day - Fantastic!! Go steady !!
I do not know your farm layout but can you put the calves where you temp parlor was from side to side and put viewing area above with see thru spots in floor so they can see the calves?????
Great to see the Ginger Man back at work 👍
Hope he is doing better.
You need a BIG floor fan to put at one end of the calf shed. You can push or pull the air as needed. Helps dry the pens too.
Great to see your dad, is he fully recovered from the hospital business? He looks great. You are both wonderful to watch. Love your channel.
i know you want a viewing area in the area where the bale is, but i cant help thinking that space may be better used as a new bigger calf unit/ area, few fences to separate them from the main unit and new pens installed ,

Great video my brother the crackle is very unnoticeable
sounds good here Tom , no crackaling !!! only on sunday cos were having Pork !!! another great video Tom crist its wet where you are ,all the best
The calves are just so sweet. Great job of cleaning out the building. Can you not have fans going? just to move some air around? On the ceiling not on the floor for obvious reasons. Xx

It's an eye opener for some people the amount of work that is involved.
You make my head spin. So much hard work. Well done. I hope people appreciate the hard work you put in so we have food to eat.xx
Lovely to see the young calves and hopefully you can replace the calf building in the near future with ease of cleaning a consideration. Please could you go with the milk to the bottling plant and then to doorstep so we can see the whole process from cow to step? ❤❤❤
The little tractor on the scrapper is awesome!! I'm sure it is much appreciated!
I did get to see the hoof video, it’s farming, it happens, so many snowflakes in this day and age. 👍🇬🇧
Tom, You don't have to explain a thing. You are my number 1 go-to channel and I love " The Ginger warrior". Just keep plowin' ahead!!
Enjoyed watching you wrestle the calves as you tried to get them into the freshly bedded pens just goes to show how hard you work while producing these videos.
Extending the scrappers links so you have more space between wheels and blade works well.
Nice to all the calfs. Great job done . 😊
106th! FANTASTIC FRIDAY MORNING TOM,LUKE,HIEDI AND THE GINGER WARRIOR WITH A MUSTACHE AND A APPENDECTOMY SCAR! Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA
more milk parlour we waited such a long time for completion and only 1 video really interested to see it working and the technology behind it, how all the little bits you showed during the build are coming together
Tom your dad is definitely having alot of fun with that tractor
Wow!!! What a great job, love seeing all the calves 💜 The highlands are looking super also. Take care, no worries on the noise.
I feel the calf barn will be the next major project, Tom seems to be done with the existing building. Hopefully, the next building will be designed for easier access with the tractor less forking 😂

Looking forward to hear about the plans for new calf building and see how much bigger it will be than planned.

Brilliant video the calves are looking great Tom hope your dad is taking it easy the we tractor is doing a great job 👏👍👍👍
Great video Tom! always busy,busy, busy-
The herd makes me happy. Thank you Babber Xx
You'll make a good father Tom, you have plenty of experience taking care of all the baby animals!!
Hey Tom! Sunday video idea an update on the Shorthorn calves would be cool 👍
Yep!! Great idea
That was s big job done. 😊👍👍
The last few year we have watched the farm go through an amazing transformation. A new calf building in a couple of years and it will look like a completely different farm!
Do I ever have time to rest cause once the baby come u will never rest again I really enjoy your videos thank for sharing ur family with us God bless
You could use a sheep gate(or two) to guide the calves into the pens when swapping them around, they're light and easy shift... they would stop them running past the pen.. and save Tom the laps up and down the shed 😅 super video as always!
You and your dad have such a great relationship. I love watching you guys work together.
thanks for sharing, what a hard job ya'll have, and tell Ginger he is supposed to take it easy, picking up and throwing hay and wrestling caves is not something you do after you get out of surgery
I’m so pleased to be seeing the moo’s again!! 🤭 as much as I loved watching the parlour being built tbh but I’m here for the
🐮 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Nice to see your Dad up and around, let's hope he takes it easy you don't want him back in A&E again.
Going to be good to see the billed of the new calve shead next year 😊
Thanks for the video Tom!! I really liked the music today. BeWell and TakeCare ✌️💚🖖
My son has requested:
Video showing the milking, showing all of your tractors and implements and what they are used for. Things you do on the farm to prepare for winter. Favourite cows/animals and why 🥰
Loved how the calves gave you the runaround! So cute! 😊
Love watching all the calves, the next generation. Good work! 💐
Hi Tom, Ginge & luke
Firstly hope your dad is getting better every day.
Tom you look tired, I hope you're able to slow down In body & mind soon. You all work so incredibly hard to put food in our bellies and most people don't even think about the people working day and night behind the scenes putting food in our mouths. Thank you to all farmers 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
The irony is I thought he looked much less stressed. Mucking pens out is very tough physically so he was bound to be a tad tired at the end.
@@JohntyNich I think all the stress he's had building the milking parlour has tired him in brain and body. He's such a great farmer, isn't he
How manic is your day!!!! Your mum should keep a tighter rein on the Ginger Ninja. He shouldn't be lugging those bales around. Don't fret about the sound quality Tom our biggest problem is keeping up with you! Take care.
So much for the Ginger man. Taking it easy!!
I have done the same guns-out dance after getting my toddler into bed... those calfs are good practice for you Tom!
We loved this video the animals look amazing great to see your dad back on his feet and you both working together keep the videos coming and Happy Farming. Ps we see Joe’s posts she’s looking amazing send her our love xx
Ahhh thank you very much ☺️ will do!
Great video Tom. That calf building is hard work. You really do need a purpose built shed for calf rearing.
I love watching all the cows and calves! That little black/brown/white calf is SO pretty, great color!
Calves are my favorite. Thank you for sharing.🐄🐂
A wee spray round pens with disinfectant before rebeding up helps keep the bugs and jerms down as not always time to wash out
glad to see you and your dad back together
Hey Tom, many moons ago we used to put pallets under the calves and put the straw on top of them. Kept the bedding a lot drier once the water was able to drain away.
Good show Tom. That littke travtor us just the ticket! Good to see Dad hammering away too!
thanks for showing the highland cows
Tom, when cleaning the stalls and after removing all the bedding you should try and using a leaf blower!…..this way you can get rid of all the spiders and their nests, and it would look a lot cleaner….just a suggestion from a fan!
The maize would be a great idea . Nice in the cows diet and great for finishing the beef cattle off
Maze is great for your beef. I've heard it changes the milk profile so I'm not sure if it's a good idea for your dairy cows.
The Saroma’s working well.
How long before you’re looking at a new calf building?
There’s not enough hours in the day for you Tom, you’re none stop, great content ❤
Im not sure of supply in the UK but in Australia a lot of farmers use a deep bedding of woodchips for their calves. We certainly found it to be the best bedding 😊
The problem with using woodchip as bedding is that it is not beneficial to the land when you spread the manure.
Hi Tom when are you thinking of changing your manitou I am sure a newer one will make your job easier
QUESTIONS:
1. Where do you get your mud?
2. How often do you send your cows to the groomers?
3. Your parlour just does plain milk, so are the facilities for chocolate, strawberry and banana somewhere else?
4. When you do farm visits, are there biscuits, and if so, what KIND of biscuits are there?
All the best Tom. I really hope this farming thing catches on!
Where do you send the milk once the tanks are full? Could you show a video of cow to shelf? Awesome job Tom. Keep it up!
You need to improve the ventilation in the barn, especially the barn needs roof vents to exhaust the warm air. Fans would also help.
You need an industrial tumble drier for your straw before putting it in the calf pens.
That was my weekly job as 12j old boy . Good job . 😊
I loved this one. Who doesn’t like seeing a video starring calves? ❤
Great video Tom great to see working with the ginger warrior
The calf videos are my favorite.
You definitely need a new calf shed next year and one that can be easily taken down for cleaning out
But I'm sure that plan is already hatching
That tractor and new scraper is a beast it handled that mucking out no bother
Maize on your wet land bad idea 😅

Great video as always keep up the great work and videos and mind yourself tom
New holding yard with the gates must be a real winner for moving calves around, Hugo looks class
I'll bet the younger calves enjoyed having a little run.
I think the brand of clippers is Razor
Ha, ha, ha!! Hot and humid! It's 85 F in central Florida. It is not as humid as in June, July, and August now, but mildew, mold and fungus are all familiar here, because of our humidity. I know that you saw the FAB three yesterday. So much fun. Hope that you have an opportunity to visit with Funky Farmer, Farmer P at some time.
The noise problem isn’t detectable! Love the vlog work!
Love to see the calves jumping around. More calf content please.
Good work Tom well done 👏, great to see your Dad back in action
Tom, I know you don’t want to take on another project. I know the next one likely to be the calf shed.

Tom out here wrestling calves and losing. Good practice for getting Little Tom or Little Jo into his/her PJs after the nightly bath. 😂
Loved the video, even with crackling audio, it happens. Great seeinv your dad busy busy. Calves are looking awesome. I don't know what it us about Holstein's, but they seem to be the most fragile breed out there. Drives me nuts. I prefer jersey's. 😊
Tom’s top 2 words
1. Tired
2. Nackerd
Glad your dad is doing so well. Love the calves.
Those calves had fun playing musical pens with you.
Could you do video on breeding, genetics amd how you select and rear your replacements please, would love to see it
