Best talk I have listened to in years regarding calf rearing. Been to many calf talks in NI, Ireland and the rest of the UK and I always left scratching my head with some of the nonsense that’s spoken. The department seems to be the worst. Chris is a great speaker and did a super job. Agree with him 100%. Hopefully we get to hear from him again. One issue he could have explained was his treatment for when a calf scours as we are being told by many experts what you need to do but in reality it doesn’t work. Fantastic video with a clear, precise in depth detail. 👍
Have to say that's the most interesting video iv seen on TH-cam in years great detail fair play to ye the lads should get more involved with the videos 👍
Excellent video. I'm down here in County Cork and am the calf rearer in my yard to. Can totally agree and understand alot of what he's talking about. Great advice and fair play to him for sharing his lifetime of experience. No money could buy that. Excellent calves, excellent set up and excellent man looking after the calves. Thanks for sharing 👍
I went to school with his brother. They are all well reared gentlemen, a credit to Derek. All their hard work is paying off for them and they deserve it. All the best.
Happy calves, happy Chris,that man is decatated and knowable to the development of top quality calves,brilliant video so much information in this content 😀
Love the machinery videos Lorraine, but this was the best I've seen for ages, so much knowledge and and very passionate about it too, brilliant work all round, keep it up 💪
Excellent advice & knowledge for young farmers. The calf is your future cow. You have to invest time into their rearing in the first 12 weeks to give them a proper start. Thanks for the video.
Top video I think if Chris had a bed in the corner he'd never leave the shed such dedication alot of good practices and see how others do it right top tips One thing I do is dust the meal with powdered milk if the uptake is slow it's like a sweetener just a light dusting Best of luck hoping for healthy calves
Excellent video , it could be shown as part of any agricultural course as your care for the calves is a credit to you, just wondered how and when do you dehorn ?
Thank you! We will dehorn once the calf has moved onto the automatic feeder. We usually allow them a bit of time to settle on to it first before we do them. We use gas dehorners
Hi Brian! Yep no bother - he uses Charbon Fluide Activated Charcoal Liquid made by Selekt. A jag is an injection - just whatever your vet recommends. Hope that helps 😊
Nope never! I did find out however, that the manufacturer of these ones went bankrupt and stopped trading hence why no one has any in stock anymore. Always keep an eye out for an alternative in any yards I’m in so if I find any I’ll keep you all posted.
@@LorraineKillen o right must be only in de Republic of Ireland that u can't have any handwritten information on the eartags as I'm aware of some farmers put eartags on the calf's with handwritten information on them but they take them off the calf's before it leaves their farm

Good video Lorraine I look at your video all the time
We put in 4inches of 2 inche limestones on top of the concrete floor and then bed it straw, fine it great and save on straw aswell
Very informative video. 10/10
Brilliant videos, Would it be possible for chrissy to outline exactly how he treats scour and what products he uses
Hi Brian! Yep no bother - he uses Charbon Fluide Activated Charcoal Liquid made by Selekt. A jag is an injection - just whatever your vet recommends. Hope that helps 😊
Top class stock man .
Great video
Well done some video
He knows what he's doin. Ive learned a bit from this video but why does he use teat and valve instead of peach teats?
Great video do agree on same person should always feed the calves
Serious man at his job of rearing calves, should be given talks on the subject and way ahead of any so called advisor
Did you ever find a source for the white calf feeding buckets?
Mine have started to split.
Fane valley are out of stock.
Nope never! I did find out however, that the manufacturer of these ones went bankrupt and stopped trading hence why no one has any in stock anymore. Always keep an eye out for an alternative in any yards I’m in so if I find any I’ll keep you all posted.
Hi Lorraine, how often and how many mls of liquid charcoal does Chrissy give calves with scour
Tell Chrissy to give precision microbes a try
Super stuff 👌
Will do! 😊
Salam kenal dari indonesia..
Why do you de horn the calves ?
Just wondering how come someone has handwritten on de calf's eartag and what's with the thing around the calf's neck
The writing is the name of the sire & the collar contains an EID tag which lets the feeder know which calf is which & if it has drank enough each day
@@LorraineKillen o right and with the handwritten tag would that be with the calf's for good or would it be taken off at some stage
No it stays for good. Legislation in NI requires all cattle to have a tag in each ear
@@LorraineKillen o right must be only in de Republic of Ireland that u can't have any handwritten information on the eartags as I'm aware of some farmers put eartags on the calf's with handwritten information on them but they take them off the calf's before it leaves their farm
@@pauljamesfitzmaurice3192 first I've heard of that and im writing on them for years. And never take them off.
How many cow milking
