Extremely dirty farm sorry
Made it to the end!
Cool farm
I’m putting one of those brushes at 9.17 on my Christmas list ... for me!
oh my days! Slurry scrapers are like Roombas but for barns!! WHAT SO CLEVER!
I had a heifer named freckles... the last cow in the video. Best heifer. She was easy to catch because we had twinkles. 😅
of course made it to the end!! love your stuff man !!!
love your stuff
This was an amazing video. I had no idea dairy farms had gotten so efficient.
Brilliant
Automatic milk machine/farm, are we all getting lazier or evolving back into cave men because the day will come no human will know how to do anything manual except bang rocks together... Its actually sad too see.....
Omg i always wanna get a hose and rinse out the cows mouthes. They always drooling like a dog 😂
Awesome video
Grate video
why don't you clean the cows wounds off before you wrap them? looks like you just wrapped up a bunch of cow shite in that cows foot
Very cool technology. The cows should be happy.
Question: Why don't you clean their feet? Especially the ones who are damaged? There was one where it looked like you were applying bandages on top of the cows stool... or on the foot where there were stool...
Are you gay ?
I thought tom was looking into the robots
This farm is SO cool. My ex brother-in-law was a dairy farm worker. I was astonished/appalled by the amount of yuck everywhere, and the amount of damage to the cows. This set-up is pretty miraculous in comparison.
That farm should get medal 🏅 so other farms could embody how they are supposed to treat their animals.
WOW. The first farm I've ever seen that is actually cleaner. Smh
Listen these cows are all sick. I used to LITERALLY spend the whole entire day looking at about 5-7 cows roam around on CLEAN grass about 3 times a year right in front of my great grandparents porch. They weren't salivating or drooling nor did they have dirty feet...they didn't even stink or smell bad. They had a large area to move about freely. If farmers are going to treat their livestock like that, then they should limit the number of cows people have at their farms. If you can't take care of so many cows....then don't have them! Cut down the numbers so they can be treated humanely. They should investigate farms and if cows have wet feet that's citation. That's basically like having and STD when a genital is leaking. So if their feet are wet/dirty and they are drooling like that...for Pete's sake, take them out of the mill so they can heal. Put them back in when they get better. GOD SEES all these things and I'm sure he's crying right now seeing these animals like this.
I don't know why you can't just rinse off the area before you start treating them. Not even with a hose, just a spray bottle AT LEAST. You can't spare an extra minute to clean the area real quick? These cows are plagued with the SAME issue over and over. Injured hoofs because of mushy mudd filthy ground. It's common sense to AT LEAST spray the area with a spray bottle. It's basic kindness. Just because you didn't learn it at veterinary school doesn't mean you don't have common sense. At your own twist to helping them. It DOES make a different to just spray the area with CLEAN water before you work on them. It's not a waste of time to do that for them.
Tell us about the pup in the back seat! 🙂
Crazy how robots are taking over
I never realized just how everything is covered in actual Poop....like everything...everywhere. It actually looks like the cow just spray Poop everywhere. How are the cows not getting sick or the workers constantly getting ill.
Super cool farm! I didn’t know anything so hi-tech existed for farms!
That 🐄 you are loving on at the end is so pretty
Who is that adorable pooch in the truck?
I have no skip
What I like is that the cows are clearly well cared for and also seem quite happy as their social and emotional needs are being met. It looks like they like the humans and the humans like them.
those cows are being taken care of so well, they are beautiful animals
"PINK NOSE."
Yeah, just, WOW! Thanks for sharing that with us. Awesome job!
That is certainly a very handy piece of equipment you have. Load the cow and lifts her up. What is it called? And where can a person but one?
Growing up on a dairy and beef farm, seeing all the new inventions to keep cows happy healthy and clean is incredible. I have a deep appreciation for the work that goes into caring for a herd. Well done and keep up the good work.
Watch until the end! Love longer videos even if it's the same stuff I've seen before! Love your stuff and keep up the good work!!
This farm looks awesome! the cows look comfy and being able to milk themselves must make their quality of life much better ^.^
Why is the muck on their hooves washed off before putting bandages on? Surely the muck could get inside the wound and make it worse?
I meant, not washed off, before bandages.
Thank you for giving us the tour of the milking farm. I didn't realize how advanced they are these days!
I love how caring and concerned you are about your job. And the milking system is amazing 👏 And their beds, not caged in can walk about, and nice and clean
Watched till the end 10/10 man we love your channel, not a farmer or anything my 4yo son and I just love watching and learning it's great stuff keep it up.
ko
Thanks for sharing a longer post and have a nice safe day!!
So glad I found your videos, and yes I watched until the end. PS my son's nickname is Moo.
As a mom who nursed 3 kids I totally understand the cows walking in there themselves for relief 😂
I’m currently 3 months postpartum and absolutely feel the same.
I can't believe that the cows simply choose a moment to go milk themselves at the robot! Holy cow!
Long gone are the days of a stool and bucket to milk a cow. This is awesome!
I am so addicted to these videos and love G.Ps voice. BTW, my initials are G.P. ALSO!!!!!
Craig!!! Your confidence growth shows!!! 🥰
I know nothing about hoofs or cows but I love these videos, it’s just like when the farriers come to do our horses.I think it’s brilliant how much you care for the animals just like the guys we use for our horses
That's so rad, the cows can focus on being cows, the farmers can focus on being their caretakers and not be overwhelmed by the everyday big jobs and give better more focused care to the cows.
Do you ever use bentonite clay powder? It's excellent for drawing out infection in people...
Awesome dairy farm
I really enjoyed seeing this farm. It’s amazing how much robots can do
I'm surprised the milk isn't $20 a gallon.. That's a real impressive dairy set up for sure.. Never thought I'd become addicted to cow hoof videos !!! Good job Amigo..
U have the best mod any can do😃
I need to show my dad this episode. He worked on a dairy farm from 13 till he graduated high school and then some.
This place will be a serious job when finished...youll have the new girls in tip top shape in no time..Great work guys
Oh, I just love the foot wash for the cows, and the hoover for the barn floors. Preventive measures beat unwanted problem any day. And I rest easier knowing the cows are getting clean facilities in which to spend their lives. No one likes a dirty house. I hope this dairy farmer will also include a car wash style shower for the cows themselves. No one likes the feel of itchy, dirty skin. It's a great mood elevator and morale booster to have a good and regular wash.
Your to cute to ignore! And your really awesome with the cows!
The devil incarnate... they are ANGELS!! LOL That being said, this place is doing it right! Looks like all those sweet gals are well cared for.
Love the robotics but won't that take jobs away from people???
What are these cows used for?
That farm is so cool!!!!!
Leaving a comment cos you told me to :p
I absolutely love how well you all treat the cows! Calm, quiet, and confident will get the job done quickly and effectively
That is going t be one luxurious dairy farm when they are finished for sure!
Watched to the end. Juno. LOL! Some of the automation is great, but small dairy farmers aren't the ones doing this. I had an Aunt with a small dairy farm, 50-cows. Seems this is just the mega agribusiness way of doing things.
Awesome video, thanks for the extra tour around the farm. It's an amazing set up. Can Juno, make sure I'm well fed??? 😉👍👍
Hi Graham, you have a flat cutting disk for most of the hoof. Where you cut out the middle part, why don’t you get a cone shaped grinder? It would save your hands and you have invented a new tool for hoof trimming. Love your accent. My husband s family is from Glasgow. And trying to figure where in Glasgow.
Wouldnt it be better for your job and for the animal to clean the toe with high pressure water first?
Wow 😳 How do they train the cows to go into the milking gadget ?
Love your videos
cows are standing almost al days in ther own shit,thats the problem for a lot of problems. ex farrier
My 3 year old wants to be a hoof trimmer when he grows up because of these videos. He'll ask to watch the cows
That whole tour was really interesting!
My husband thinks I have lost it because I love your channel. I have horses no cows which confuses him with my interest.
What lucky cows!
I love seeing the ethical side of dairy farming thank you for sharing
We (my 3 y/o and I) try to watch every week and love how you help cattle. This robotic milk farm is an amazing operation but I wonder what the cost is of something like this? It can’t be cheap but if it saves on salaries for two or three people it may be worth it over a few years providing the cattle don’t destroy the slurry scraper 🤣
LOVE this! I grew up on a dairy farm, and we milked 30 cows and everything was manual, manual, manual! Carrying milk bucket by bucket to the milk house, shoveling out the gutters, feeding. I really wish my Dad was still alive to see how far farming has come ❤
Insane! I've helped at a farm before. Nothing at all like this lol
The cows look happy. What an amazing barn! Thanks for showing us. I hope Tom Pemberton and "The Ginger Warrior" can get a new barn like this! They work so hard and they love their cows. Robotics could make their lives so much better!
Awesome job as usual greatjob God Bless You and Your family
Maybe you need to fix him a pair of shoes lol greatjob guys
I’m impressed with this farm very different the the ones here in the states
Would love to see more about the robot farm - seriously interesting!
The robot milker was awesome. I always wondered how that would work. Somehow I wasn't picturing teats being laser-tracked but it was super effective. Wouldn't the slurry robots get kicked or trampled? I guess they don't move fast enough to startle a cow, but I bet a frisky calf or bull would take it on lol. I bet repairs on a giant poo Roomba wouldn't be cheap. Tom and the Ginger Warrior would probably love to have that big airy shed, even without all the mechanized stuff. I enjoy watching the Pemberton farm as is, but their lives would definitely be easier if they had some upgrades.
Love watching you 😄👍🏻
what kind of cow was at the end?
@alistair clement thanks, she just looks very white so i didn't know if she was Holstein or not
holstein
I love these videos and the cows look soooooo happy, clean and healthy!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That cow at the end behaves like a family pet...so cool
I watched a tour of a similar setup and was amazed at the information the milker robots provide
Nice one
Don't mind me, I'm just sitting over here crying over how happy these cows look.
I luv cows
I always love watching the cows interact ❣️🇺🇸 you’re the best ✨💖✨ - and yes I always watch ‘till the end!
