Farming Youtubers

How was anyone being condescending?

A few posts were like that.

I think the woman was right to ask for her share. Her father (the eldest brother) didn't provide anything for her as best I can make out. All the second brother offered her was a "kick up the arse". If she wasn't a daughter then the last thing she would have wanted was a clip of his hair as that would have proven her wrong.

"She had fifty years to contact". Was she meant to start making contact from the day she was born? Probably took many years to find out who her father was. And if she did make contact, would she have been given a warm welcome or told she'd get a "kick up the arse" like the younger brother offered?

Lads can't be dropping kids and then not supporting them. More money was spent on a loaf of bread than she ever saw from her father until she stuck her oar in. She'd have far more rights to the older brothers share of the farm on his death as his daughter than the younger brother had.

There is a romance about the land, but people cannot ignore the fruit of their own romances. He knew the facts of life and how breeding is done. What did he expect when he slipped it in? A DVD?

The tradition of Bonfires on bonfire night - St Johns night on 23rd June still exists or at Halloween night.

He’s gonna regret shoving all those bushes into the hedges. There will be massive gaps in those hedges in a few years time

Those heifers they left out are like ones you’d expect to be coming into the shed in October/november

Sorry but no excuse for underweight stock when there whole tillage system hinges on getting the return from there grain through the livestock

poor weanlings going into the shed is affecting there killout weights the following year. Simple as that. Better grassland management needed. Letting a bundle of calves off in a whole field till it’s bare is not the way to do it

it has nothing to do with the type of stock. There female cohorts would be 60 kgs heavier than them now

Infrastructure isn't their to do the above fencing wise, and to be honest with the cost of stakes/wire/strainers at the minute 50k probaly wouldn't do half their land and that's not getting in a fencing contractor, just materials....

It's the one item of machinery I reckon they don't have, could do with investing in one in all fairness

Where is he going to get the time to fence paddocks and land in water to each on ground they only got recently and plan on putting some into tillage? He hasn't the time to wipe his arse spreading slurry this time of year. It would be grand if they had it several years, but sorting and getting the feel of new ground takes time.

"Better grassland management needed"? He only got it a wet week and its scrub. Time now is best used ensuring the borders of the land is stock proof, first priority would be to contain stock on the block. Pastures can be done at a later date if needed and when time allows. They are planning on reseeding much of it, why would you be managing it? Eat it off and get on with ploughing.

He plans on putting some of it into tillage so that should provide more for next years batch.

Give a lad a chance to see the lie of the land.

A good starting point would be to rear all the calves on owned ground and have a paddock system and strip graze them. Would make a huge difference, after the first year bigger fields wouldn’t have as much as an adverse affect on gains then.

our average weight at turnout is the same average weight as 90% of dairy beef of the same age advertised on done deal.

we do run paddocks with the calves 3 to 7 days a move. Larger fields sub divided with temporary fences
