I grew up playing in those field's boy
Timahern the reason you don't own the land is that there were millions of generations before you and there will be millions after you're gone and you've got no right to mess it up for them

Hello, I'm Moroccan and , I'm looking for a opportunity in Ireland. I want to immigrate to Ireland. It is possible for me to immigrate? Kindly help me to find a job in Ireland. I hope working in your farm, please
And to think people in England complain about the sparse rain they get...it's a blessing
Beautiful
Hello sir . Do you sell these bulls to Morocco
Hello sir . Do you sell these bulls to Morocco
You don't owne the land the state do they can cpo it and take it from you
The boy is the spit of the grandfather. Even down to the walk.
Congratulations to ALL the finalists. And a big "thank you" from around here on the other side of the globe (California). There is an honestly to the quality of all the milk products produced from the wee farms (compared to the giant, highly "efficient" operations necessary for farmers here in the US to survive economically) that seem to define the dairy industry throughout Europe and the British Isles. Your hard work and dedication truly make a difference.
I live in Australia and my great grandfather, Timothy O’Dwyer, was from Tipperary … He came from Donohill, and his father, Matthew O’Dwyer, was from Derryclough. He died on the ship coming to Australia. Timothy was only 8 years old at the time.
when I see my dream and have not yet worked it out I am very hurt,sir GOD bless🙏
Thank you ,thank you for your butter, the grass is green, the air is pure an clean, the cows are healthy, makes a difference in butter ,its the best butter I've ever tasted, an i grew up on a farm ,
Seeing as you care so deeply for your family, try and learn some empathy for the animals too. Stop the rape, the kidnapping, and the murder. There's enough cruelty in the world already without the dairy industry abusing animals as well. #GoVegan
The family shots are stunning. 💎 beautiful
Lovely to see good irish family farm but our government are doing the best to destroy rural ireland and unfortunately we are letting them do just that,
It’s happening same in my country and I have only returned from Ireland after 10 years. It’s a world wide agenda I’m afraid
@@bekabeka71 It is indeed. Communists have always hated farmers.
How to apply as dairy farm worker.?
nice wording
Yeah it is a best
How many cows to the acre do you run?
Beautiful .very well done
I m veterinary assistant from Pakistan. how can apply for work at your form. seriously
Yeah sure 😂😂
@@bekabeka71 I wonder how far he got commented that 2 years ago
Great video and great story, good luck with the farm
are you still trying ? slowly change your business to a nut milk ..
Why is the calf suckling at the farmers hand? Because it was separated from its mother who it should be suckling the milk from! Dairy steal babies from their mothers so we can steal the calf's milk. Have you heard the cries of a mother cow after her calf is taken? It isn't something National Dairy Council wants broadcast I'm sure, as it is a horrible cry that goes on for days.
Why is the calf sucking the finger of the farmer? Cows love salt and our bodies are practically covered in it you dope
