The calves look well enough. I don't finish any cattle but sell as big store cattle. I've sold some friesian/holstein's at good money. I use fertility ➕️ AI and get a mix of breeds, but by an absolute mile, charolais are some of the best cattle I sell. They just stand out from the rest and always make more when I sell.
I agree totally charlaois are the best I bought a few out of a purebred holstein heard and they were some animal's they looked and weighed like suckler animal's!
Very happy anniversary to both of you❤. Who deserves the campaign 🏅 medal. My wife found a bit of our wedding cake in the bottom of a freezer, it was still delicious after 8 years.😊😅😊
I would clip theire backs aswel Phil. Makes a big difference. I would even clip the calves you buy in the spring aswel. We do all calves as young as a few days old.
Happy Anniversary and happy holidays we will miss you both you deserve some nice times ✖️ Farmer Phil and liv you all work hard together can’t be easy farming.So so good luck 😉.🎅🎅🎅🤶🤶🏻🤶🏻🤶🏻🤶🏻🤶🏻🤶🏻🤶🏻👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛
Calves look well, we all have the hard luck cases we have six little victims getting intensive care in a small pen just to get them up to scratch (4kg /day ) but the rest are just getting 2 kg / day and good silage, we give them 2 kg / day from turn out in the spring until the following turnout , ours are mostly February and march born and all fr. Weighed in at 215 kg last Tuesday we were very happy ( that included the six little victims who averaged 157 kg ( which for us was not bad we often didn’t do much better for the whole group) the 2 kg of meal works out at c. 750 kg per calf which looks like a lot but we are hoping to leave them out in the spring at close to 300kg which is a gain of .75 kg a day again achievable with luck. Basically our goal is to be letting out the cattle for the second season on grass standing us a bit less than €500 a head all in and if we can do that we will be in a position to make a few quid. We find that if you can get them out of the house at 300kg you can get them to the target weight in January/ February handy enough. All bullocks in our system by the way.
Calves look like the best you’v had yet 👏👏 least lawn calves too. You might want to cover that gate up where the wind blows in, keep it calm at calf level but good breeze up over their back 👍 could you get away with feeding them more often with less feed if it’s tight with the wagon? Daily feeds will be best for intakes and growth too.
Well done. I watch all the videos but theres no point in commenting as I wouldnt know, I dont own a farm, way too much work and no break from it. Enjoy the holiday.
We are not into this Farming I’ve but still like to comment.Just think Farmer Phil and liv and family are wonderful and they work together it’s hard work 😓.Like your comment.🧑🏻🌾🧑🏻🌾🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👨
Hi Phil maybe i miss a video or it's still too early but dose there seem to be much difference in the calves that were fed ad lib and the bucket reared one's tks
Great job, i buy runners ,white heads male females, keep to 650 kg store ,do as well as any of others , they get the big double mineral bolas at trn out the best results ever seen .
Bit late watching but calves are looking very good Phil / Liv, good to see you both happier with results this year than the disappointing time you both had last year 👍👍 Oh and happy anniversary to you both 🥂
Great video Phil, the calves look well and the shed will do them good, it looks airey so will be a good job, I might look into the copper injecion as a few of our cattle just hang on to their brown coat for a lot longer than they should, have a good holiday, good luck!
Few of those worst ones are fair shook. I would say don't buy a calf from their bloodline anymore. We kept on more calves than usual this year and last year from dairy side, 2 that were lost last year their mothers calf this year were minded more than the rest but still behind where they should be and a pain to get that far. It's an eye opener as to how tough or weak your animals really are and the likes of ye depend on these animals
Always give calfs here 2 bags milk makes awful difference I no it's another cost but I think it's worth 50 kilos at housing time there still fine bunch of calfs
Always enjoy the cattle videos.. it’s why I started watching 4 years ago. Well done.

U won't beat a good charolais bullock.out weighs the limousine and always get the few pound more.
It costs the same to feed a chaoirlaois as a Friesan and you will get twice as much for him.
I agree totally charlaois are the best I bought a few out of a purebred holstein heard and they were some animal's they looked and weighed like suckler animal's!
Yes but u might pay 4× the price for them as calves @gerryoconnor8751
And pay 6 times as much to buy him as a weanling as buy a angus suck calf at 180e@@gerryoconnor8751
Your right your calves look much better this year
I hope you appreciate the contribution of your lovely wife. You are fortunate she decided to settle on you 😊
Well done, so nice to see families working together
Very happy anniversary to both of you❤. Who deserves the campaign 🏅 medal.
My wife found a bit of our wedding cake in the bottom of a freezer, it was still delicious after 8 years.😊😅😊
At the end of the day you can only do your best. Farming is not easy no matter what area of farming you are in

No mats in the calf shed?

Hi Phil, I think they look nice and the new shed is working out nicely job well done have a great holiday.

Hi Phil maybe i miss a video or it's still too early but dose there seem to be much difference in the calves that were fed ad lib and the bucket reared one's tks
Tbh not really they do really well while on ad lib but fall back a good bit at weaning and end up not much better off as a result
Best of luck with everything ahead on the farm fair play to you & Liv ye make a great team 👍👍👍
Well said at the end Phil, couldn't agree more, great stuff
Happy anniversary to you both 🎉🎈🎉🎈
Great job.. honesty is best policy fare play.
Happy anniversary, enjoy the night

ye do a very very good job, and it ain;t easy. it is some work load. well done.
Calves looking well Phil
Very informative ❤
Most certainly not a simple game. Good video
Happy anniversary
Good video, as usual ... Where do those animals sleep? Aren't the slats a bit hard, would you not get straw covered "beds" in there ?
copper salium buckets or bolus magnesium and have you considered salt because of grass technique mentioned loose.... do u add salt to water or licks?
Happy anniversary Phil and Lib hope ye had a good one
17:39
Farmer Phil speaking like a U.S. Prison officer 😂😂
Happy wedding anniversary
price of calves could well shock you next spring ...............................!
Why will they be cheaper?
Another real life video thanks had a great chat with Father phill at punchestown on the Egmont Agri stand today.
keep good eye on them Phil we got some kind off virus in ourweanlings
Great video guys. Happy anniversary to ye both. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
That trailer is the business! Easy on man and beast.
What make of Clippers do you have and do you find it good ?
Don't know much about cattle but they look we'll Phil liv best regards 👍 from South East UK
Great video Phil, the calves look well and the shed will do them good, it looks airey so will be a good job, I might look into the copper injecion as a few of our cattle just hang on to their brown coat for a lot longer than they should, have a good holiday, good luck!
Evening!
Calves look well Phil. Fair play to you and Liv alot of work with them. Enjoy the break
Great to see some of the livestock .
Few of those worst ones are fair shook. I would say don't buy a calf from their bloodline anymore. We kept on more calves than usual this year and last year from dairy side, 2 that were lost last year their mothers calf this year were minded more than the rest but still behind where they should be and a pain to get that far. It's an eye opener as to how tough or weak your animals really are and the likes of ye depend on these animals
Well done enjoy your well deserved holiday 🍺🍺🔥🔥
Nice one Phil and Liv
That was a great job with your cattle and not bad looking fresion bull and great looking sliage 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy anniversary to ye delighted able work togeather.on farm stay.married.happy days delighted calfs looking good back in business
I thought that was a very risky thumbnail to go with the title......! 😳
Always give calfs here 2 bags milk makes awful difference I no it's another cost but I think it's worth 50 kilos at housing time there still fine bunch of calfs
How many cattle can you put in the bracken
What's the scour stuff u mentioned, couldn't quite make it out
Precision microbes
Its like a sweet molasses like tonic that gets mixed in with the milk. Its very good stuff. Calves seem to thrive on it.
your putting in to much silage keep it back from barriers and they won't pull it in on slats
with a tech rail only its almost impossible to feed bale silage without them pulling it in
Great video Phil. Are you going to do a video showing the difference of the calves that were on ad-lib milk vs the calve that weren’t
Gen Pop? It's like they're in prison!
Doing yer best that all.matters no end work on farming
Copper is important.
Good stuff
A to be sure paddy your hard done by to be sure to be sure 😅
You will have plenty there for Gaddafi's people again them Jersey boys are a blight on any farm 😢
