This is one of your best ever videos Karen, explaining how farming is gambling with prices, weather, animal health and machinery breakdowns. You need a crystal ball to see into the future!
Hi Karen, Brent from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 You have good insight on planning your future on the farm. You are doing an awesome job, and I enjoy your videos. ❤️
Great improvement Karen, if you have all the rain like we had in Wiltshire the grass will be up in no time. Just in time before the colder weather comes. Thank you for sharing the history of your farm with us, I'm sure your grandad would be very proud of what you have all done as a family. My.advice would be keep ur plans flexible and biggest is not always best. Keep ur stress levels down as with ur day job u still need to relax and enjoy ur life. Best of luck, Poth.
You're spot on about improving the place. I remember my auld fella telling me, " A fella would want to get his farm right first, then he/she can farm away mad after that." I wouldn't rule out the slatted shed, I think women can apply for a 60% grant for them now. And it really does eliminate a lot of work. Particularly when housing periods are so long these days.
The subsidy certainly helps, but then there's that pesky other 40% and some (the wise...) are "allergic" to debt! Slatted flooring is, by no means, a panacea----there's a lot of mechanical complication involved which, well, complicates things.
A slatted tank isn't complicated. You dig it pour it and drop in the performed slats. Not a job you'd go at yourself, unless you're in the business but certainly not complicated. And the cost of bedding gone through the roof, they make plenty of sense.
I've learned so much following you all Karen as you navigate through farming, planting, tending to your cows and calves and ALL the other things like maintenance up keep, sick and or hurt animals BESIDES dealing with your full times job and making sure your Family and Crew are all good too! I have no doubt that you and your Dad can have at times "spirited conversations" about farm related projects, the pro's and con's of doing certain things his way or your way🤣 I'm quite sure you treasure those rare times when you and family can just enjoy a day or three of life without worrying! Thank You for sharing the behind the scenes with your chats to us! Stay Strong and Keep Strutting! Cheers From Across The Pond In COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
Great reseeding job Karen, the land is coming on leaps and bounds an so much more productive . It's brilliant you're thinking ahead to recoupe what you've spent out on . ❤
Yes, indeed. We cannot, of course, foretell the future, but hard work, dedication and what we call "stick-to-it-ness" go a long way towards providing/ensuring a better future. And not only for yourselves, but also for the creatures under your care! Thanks.
What a gorgeous accent 💞 Thank you for sharing your day. NZ. I haven't seen old 3metre cultivation gear since back in the day. Remember why we went wide to double efficiency. You are a special young lady and good on you for taking on the farm. I hope your dad is ok.
Hi Karen, Great video. Thanks for the update. Reseeding is so important and will always be worth the time, effort, and money involved. Getting the infrastructure, reseeding, fencing, water, etc, on the farm right before making the jump to bigger stock numbers is definitely the right way to go. My advice to you would be for you and your dad to sit down with a farm advisor and draw up a 10 year plan for the farm. It would set out a road map for the farm as well as giving you advice on the different grants, etc that might be available and useful for you. Also, getting good advice from someone on the outside along with your own knowledge of the farm might open up a lot more options for the farm.
Well done on the reseeding.I wouldn't rule out putting up a slatted shed it could be extended from your existing shed and with tams Grant you could qualify for up to 60% you being a young farmer.And with fertiliser prices the extra slurry would be fertiliser value.
She needs to visit Canada and learn to raise beef without sheds. There's hundreds of thousands of cattle here without sheds bedding packs and wind breaks are all they get here and in North Alberta it goes down to -45 Celsius plus wind chill.
Ah Karen that Topper will be redundant soon. You are going to have fine fields of grass when it all comes together & dont ever say never where the new shed is considered. Great stuff & Keep 'er Lit.
Great video Karen. The field looks a right job,please god there'll be great growth on it. Great to hear you consider increasing the stock size. Perhaps you could see about adding to bedding pens in the shed and use sawdust or straw to bed the cattle. That way you might be able to save to add to the shed. Only issue is you'd need somewhere to store what you have in the shed. If you were able to finish cattle on bedding you might be able to gather a few pound to extend.
Yes that's definitely an option to fit in 2 more pens on the other side. it will be tight and only leave room for the tractor to feed and nothing else though so would mean doing work to the old milking parlour we have
Congrats on the video! Was in a similar situation myself and got shot of the cows and just went with dry stock to suit my working life. It’s hard to make the decisions but it’s worth it in time.
I hope a don't sexist but it is amazing watching you perform the farm duties. I know you are a positive example to all women farmers you do just as much or more than any guy keep up the amazing work from USA Columbus OH 😊
So smart not to rush into things, and taking care of the foundational work first. What I’m so impressed with, you’ve a full time job on top of this. What an incredible work ethic you’ve got. 👍👍 Who knows. If that field behind the shed is yours, I can see a half length extension going back that way. Too bad the roads so close. Maybe you could do another bay to the east. Whatever happens, you’re making so many good upgrades. I’m excited for next year.
Great work going on in the reseeding Karen the lime is very important in the reseeding the lime is the cheapest fertiliser it corrections the PH of soil and it will reduce your fertiliser bill
Hey looks amazing, great job done, Ur always improving, well done, increase bit by bit & see how it goes, Rome wasn't built in a day Karen, but enjoy the improvement that you & dad make along the way
Well done looks a great job hope you get a good take slugs is what you need to watch out for,nice to know your thoughts.Also a young lady in her prime you must be have lots of plans wedding bells etc guessing your grandmother keeps dropping a gentle hint,maybe oneday we will hear what the day job is.Never say never to an extension on the shed.😀
Would be fantastic if you got good grading from the factory , you deserve it as the cattle want for nothing , keep that lovely smile up , maybe one day a farm shop 🤔 , love the video’s Karen
A new slatted unit be so handy doesn't have to be very big a 5 or 6 year Farm loan at a low rate could be worth thinking about. Be plenty of nice grass soon👍
Don't rule out putting up a shed it could be extended from your existing shed with tams Grant and you being a young farmer you could get up to 60%.With another slatted shed you also have to think of slurry as fertiliser value.
Hi Karen if you are thinking of building a slatted shed you could put the new crush in doors and then you be in from the weather also nice ploughing by the plough man 👍 ,, as for that big reseeding you probably be selling bales next year if the grass goes two strong for the cattle 🐄
Another enjoyable video, Karen! Looks like great progress with the re-seeding. Curious to know what your starter fertilizer was....here we don't apply Ammonium nitrate (or AmSo4) at seeding as the ammonium impedes germination. But perhaps with your cooler (and wetter) climate this is not as much of an issue as here in (Hot/dry) Florida. The 135 is perfect for that job, isn't it? Fuel-efficient and comparatively lightweight with very low impact emissions-wise as well as minimal soil compaction. Keep filming and we'll keep watching! Thank you.
the newly sown field looks like a billiard cloth. great work! the story of increasing the numbers starts quite sadly with the story of your grandfather and father, very great that you can still encourage yourself to look ahead. building a new barn is not possible because of the costs or the space? if you don't want to tell that's fine too.
@@karenmoynihanfarm it remains a hard world farming. You do it if I understand correctly, outside of your other job. the fact that you are still going for a number increase shows that you are an enterprising woman who is certainly not too lazy to work, I will continue to follow your vlogs to see what your decision will be ;-)
A good crush is so important, it takes so much stress out of handling cattle and safety also., your doing a brilliant job on the land , just a suggestion would you if increasing stock get a couple of Pedigree polled cattle, a few breed do polled cattle now, I recon you would do a great job on them.
Hello Karen the contact as done a good job of the ploughing and the working the land I have done it myself ploughing and and working land and sowing the grass seed you could always sell what silage ❤❤😅
Karen, your fox looks a bit skinny (compared to ours) but that may not be a fair comparison (we have chickens) because fowl are (apparently) very nutritious. Always enjoy pokin' around your farm with you and your dad.
What about expanding the old shed put down concrete slab and bolt down you could have it up in a week and Aberdeen Angus cattle weanlings keep to fatten good way to make extra cash
Hey Karen, Have you put any thought into Portable Sheds, We have them herein the States and you can make them so they have a Concrete floor or not. Might be something that would work for you especially during Calving season. Just an idea for Y'all. Ground looks good, The boys did a fine job. And I'll tell you like I tell my two daughters, One step at a time. My youngest is having a time applying to Vet School. So I know your feelings. Enjoyed your video, Thanks as always for sharing.
@karenmoynihanfarm It's worth a try. I know here they are pretty inexpensive. A couple thousand dollars for a 16 x 20. I kinda wish I had your email, I could send you some lecture on them.
Great video Karen. That's the first time, that I know of, you've actually explained the time line with the farm. Maybe if you sit down with your Dad and "discuss" why you want animals without horns, that dehorning really does bother you, he will consider it. I know he's reading this. But even an ocean away I can tell this bothers you a lot. 'Nuff said. Farm advisors were mentioned by someone. If they are free, do it. If they aren't, is it worth the cost? Ask around about others experience with them. Good, bad, indifferent, knowledge is power and priceless.
With or without clover how long will a field of reseeded ryegrasses endure. Cost of reseeding very expensive especially if it has to be repeated as seems to be the case on dairy farms.

Hallo Karen another great video thats great job of reseeding how many acers did you reseed
We reseeded 3 acres here so it's a total of close to 10 acres this year

With or without clover how long will a field of reseeded ryegrasses endure. Cost of reseeding very expensive especially if it has to be repeated as seems to be the case on dairy farms.
With clover. Well they say fields should be reseeded every 7 years I think but that won't be happening here 😅
Would you go down the farmer Phil way and just buy-in calves and finish them on the farm
I don't think I could be looking at them
@@karenmoynihanfarm u could look at buying runners calves there are calves that are gone off de milk
Just wondering about the overlap with the fertiliser spreader. As it is a wag tail what is the fertiliser spread ?
