The way you show us your world is always so fun!! I love to watch your cows skipping and running. What a wonderful life you provide for them! You really live an amazing life, Tom Pemberton!

    For your fencing reel: It looks like the shaft goes all the way through. You could weld a piece of 5/16" steel rod on the end opposite the crank handle and use a cordless drill as another poster suggested. By adding the rod, you don't need to cut off the handle so you can still do it the old way if necessary and keep the ginger warrior happy ;-)

We ran electric all down one side of the ground so we can pinch a feed anywhere if we need to close off any bits for a rest, no batteries to run flat or grow legs, and a belt that keeps everything in.... or out. 😄

    @DarLav8 4 роки тому

    Love ur vids tom, your dad is great too but as many of the commenters have already said ur farm is a bit behind in grass management in terms of not having paddocks and pads etc, your farm is ideal for paddocks as no roads through farm and could get so much more grazing if ye sectioned paddocks and strip grazed every day. Not easy to get auld fella's to change from what they know but if ye ever wanted to boost production then paddocks should be a goal, here in ireland we have dairy groups that farmers get incentives to be a part of and you go on farm walks of each others farms and get to view how other farmers run their farms, highly recommend trying it if ye have something similar in the uk.

While at a neighbors farm that had several of them he decided to take a pee and did so across the electric fencing. Let’s just say he became a believer in the new fencing and never peed close to an electric fence again. 😂

    Hi tom I'm in new Zealand few tips I could give ya with the break feeding is maybe try doing it length ways with paddock and shift daily to keep cows off regrowth one idea we use to identify if there is surplus for cutting silage is if you have five days feeds in front of them it's enough to cut. leave the cows abit to keep going like your doing.we aim to be on 29day day ration with our grass. Maybe invest in hand held eletric fence tester and test at far end of reel from unit need at least 3kv to keep them in I put standards out at 20 steps with no problem. Dont worry bout troughs they'll walk back to shed for drink or get attachment to trough and run out 100m of 25ml alcathine to 44gal drum cut in half with bore cock valve and can shift this to new breaks and keep back fence up for regrowth

    Instead of putting up permanent fences for paddocks Tom just use reels to set up 48 hour grazings. Itll be cheaper and you can take them up when you need to slurry or spread fert.
    Water troughs are the only issue then.
    You'll grow more grass and your cows will milk more and be more content 👍
