Spring Dairy farmer. west Wicklow! Used to pull pints, but changed to pulling teats ten years ago. Red and white cows, emphasis on Fleckvieh…Grass Grass ....!
@TrevorFarrell12 Should be also noted that those Blues and Charolais were out of a jersey cross herd. It’s serious money when no matter how u look at it those calves were 25% jersey and 25% kiwi fresian.
@JoeMetcalfe2 Agreed. 2026 looking like a tight one. Who else would take 20% reduction in pay over 5 months. Calling all civil servants for their opinions?!!
@KealyJamie Best wishes with the sale Jamie, I have already requested the catalogue from Eric. A truly super herd of cows. Best of luck for the future.
A Cow caught on a security cam opening the electric fence. The farmer installed it after he assumed someone was doing it.
Now we are left with the explanation of why cows 40 miles away have just started doing the exact same thing?
@AgrilandIreland That’s €1428 for each of the estimated 3500 forgotten farmers!! I imagine that the social welfare heads will fare better than that!! 😂😂
@AniekaNick Great results
Can I ask two questions? Stocking rate on platform and amount of imported feed? Trying to figure out best system here in Ireland. Much more rain falling, and imported feed rising
@tommywalsh1010 Super milk figure. At 31 litres here but urea after dropping to 10! Protein holding at 3.6 but fat at the same figure! Feeding 6 kilos and up to 10 on feed to yield for higher milkers. Dry is badly needed, afc similar to ur own. Good weather from next Tuesday on by all accounts🤘
